Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Error Listings and rejected edits 2021

Any entries representing hardware which have information entered into the Publisher field are incorrect. Unfortunately, once information is entered into the Developer or Publisher field, it cannot be removed by normal means—it can only be updated

Oh, so that would explain why some console entries have something in Publisher field and some don't.

Developer and Publisher
Because the original design of the database was primarily for games, non-game items do not use the Developer and Publisher fields the same way. Here is a quick list of non-game items and which fields are appropriate:
- Hardware and Accessories: Uses Developer field but Publisher should be blank

So should I add it to Developer field then?

So apparently Sanyo didn't publish their own console? 

I submitted an edit for

https://www.vgcollect.com/item/63335

and put "Sanyo" as the publisher. But it was rejected. Most other consoles in the 3DO hardware section have their manufacturer as the "Publisher" field. Why not this time?

I am pretty sure dairy farms normally dump milk anyway to keep prices high.

Not in Canada!

Sorry for bumping an old thread but do you americans have canadian milk on your shelves? Here in Québec we only have milk from Québec, not even from the rest of canada. Except in 2018 Walmart started importing Fairlife american milk in canada (as well as Québec) and there were huge boycotts over here, it was a big deal. Nowadays Walmart still stocks Fairlife milk but in small quantities and literally not a single soul buys them to this day (I work at Walmart, I can confirm). What were they thinking? We literally have the best milk in the world, they really expected canadians to buy shitty american milk? It is so insulting to us, you have no idea. It's like if I go to France and start shoving cheap american wine in their face and do ad campaigns that try to replace their high quality French wine with shitty american ones.

Also, someone mentioned that there were milk shortages in the US during the pandemic. I am very surprised, because we never had any sort of milk shortage here, at least in Québec. That's what happens when you import everything.

Thanks! Not only that, but also the console + games (except for Twisted) are in excellent condition, the boxes are just mint and the console has no scratches at all. I'm actually going to sell some of those games, I'm only keeping about half of it. No the other model is not an FZ-10, it's something much more sought after.

Selling eh? 

As for the sought after...hmmm...maybe a Goldstar or Sanyo unit? I always wanted the 3DO Blaster card for my computer but that was a pipe dream back then. 

The Goldstar is not sought after at all, it is genrally the least desirable 3DO and the cheapest of them all. Except for the mythical Goldstar Alive II which is insanely rare and sell on EBay at over 3k. So it's either a Sanyo IMP-2J, a Panasonic N-1005, a 3DO Blaster card or even a Goldstar GDO-203P. Take another guess. 

@leonefamily Quite the hall 3D0 stuff is quite rare but for all games to have the cardboard boxes aswell 

EBay prices are ridiculous. There is some guy selling a CIB copy of Zhadnost and he wants 150$ for it. According to gamevaluenow and pricecharting it's worth around 25$. I made an offer of 40$ explaining to him that I think it's a very fair price but he just turned down the offer with no reply or counteroffer whatsoever. Like, wtf. I'm glad to have found this lot!

Nice score! Super jealous of some of those titles...and boxed to boot!  The PC version of the CH Flightstick Pro was one of my favorite accessories. I used to play Descent with that thing for hours on end. I have to imagine the other model you're going to be getting is the FZ-10? 

Thanks! Not only that, but also the console + games (except for Twisted) are in excellent condition, the boxes are just mint and the console has no scratches at all.

One console I've always wanted and have never owned. Congrats!

Thank you!

I just bought 2 3DO consoles, the first console has arrived, with a batch of games. Try to guess what model the second one will be.

Jesus Christ I didn't expect that much lol

I thought 200 to 500 bucks would have been a fair price, but again we know very little about it, maybe someone will buy at 9k after all.

I'd be interested in it, but I have no clue how much it's worth. What price are you looking for?

This feels like the U.S. elections, every option is crap. I would tend to go towards option 3 because it has the most examples that give sense but then you get to the Kowai Shashin example which should absolutely NOT be considered as a PS2 game, wtf.

Honestly a mix of option 2 and option 3 would be preferable.

For Québec you can add lespac.com, its popularity is going down in the last few years but is still a place where you can find video games from private sellers.

For France, leboncoin.fr is the #1 classified ads website

PlayStation [KR] would make no sense to add to the database because it was never released in South Korea. The first PlayStation they got was the PS2 with model SCPH-30005 and SCPH-30005 R.

Edit: Oh wait I forgot, despite never getting the console they did get a few late PS1 titles (because PS2 retrocompatibility)

General / Re: 2021: where are you as a collector and/or gamer right now?

« on: May 09, 2021, 03:06:19 pm »

Just like you, I do lots of console mods/repairs as well. Right now I am doing 2 Xbox mods for a customer, and have one guy waiting to bring me his PS3 so I can jailbreak it. But in terms of game collecting I am still as active as I was, just in the last 30 days I have added about 50 games to my backlog, plus a 3DO console coming next month.
