General / Travelling abroad with your videogames

« on: July 21, 2022, 02:16:28 pm »

Who has experience with travelling abroad with their videogames? I'm about to go on a trip to the Philippines and I packed two large suitcases full of video games and movies. My landlord saw this and told me she's afraid they might deny me entry because I'm packing too much video games and that it may look suspicious. I am under the weight and dimensions limits for my airline company but would immigration care that I'm bringing so many stuff into the country? I couldn't find any info about that on the Philippines ambassy website.

Following edit was rejected
#23077, for attempting to change the incorrect name of "Need for Speed Carbon" to the correct "Need For Speed: Carbon". Yes, I'm aware that Gamefaqs doesn't use the ":" symbol in the game name, and that's the point, they're wrong. It should follow the same format as every other game in the series such as "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", "Need For Speed: Underground", "Need For Speed: Most Wanted", e.t.c.

I still have my ex's Midnight Club 3 for PS2 that she gave me.

In the beginning I used to just use the collection tracker and never use the forums. It doesn't help that I don't get any email notifications when people reply to me in forums, so I never know and that doesn't really help for forum engagement.

The only thing that signifies its the French release is the barcode, and lets be honest, nobody checks that.

Actually, I do. Because there are releases that sometimes look identical but in reality have different barcodes, so I always double-check.

Obviously Scarface: The World Is Yours deserves a sequel and a whole franchise over it.

And also a new Midnight Club game.

That spanish release is so appealing to me. I don't have a PS2 [ES] release in my collection yet, that would be neat. But the seller doesn't ship to North America, oh well

Thanks both for your replies. Controller Adapter is actually that guy's registered company name. Therefore, I will list it under Controller Adapter SNES-2-3DO (Black/Gold). Since the controller adapter logo is on that "shipping box" I'll count it as the actual item's box.

There's 4 different color variants for this item. Should I add them all separately? I spoke with the guy who builds these accessories and he told me that all the color variants share the same shipping box, the only way to tell the variant without opening the box is to look at the shipping label where the color is indicated.

This is the SNES-2-3DO (Black/Gold variant). It can be purchased here:

https://controlleradapter.com/products/snes23do

I'm going to add it to the database, but I'm unsure about a few details. These accessories are made by one guy with his 3D printer, so obviously it's going to go in the Unofficial Release category. But I'm wondering, could the shipping box it comes in be considered as the actual "item box"? On one end, it's just a shipping box, but yet there's the ControllerAdapter logo on it. And also, there's a sticker of the ControllerAdapter logo inside (as well as candy). Should I consider this as the item box when I create the item in the database or should I disregard this and just consider this item as a loose artisanal accessory? Also, we have to keep in mind that there are different color variations but that difference is not indicated on the box itself, only on the shipping slip.

We already have the forums. I see no point in creating a Discord.

As for Gamespot's forum it was more or less pure shit. It was full of trolls, the worst fanboys you've ever seen online, and moderators on a constant power trip just waiting for the most minor infraction to temporarily suspend or ban you.

I used to double-track my collection on both VGcollect and Gamefaqs at the same time in the beginning, but I stopped going on Gamefaqs and do exclusively VGcollect because the way we classify individual game releases is way better than Gamefaqs. And yes, I saw how much of a mess the forums were, it was a jungle.

Been here since 2017. I was still a teenager at that time. VGcollect is an important part of my life.

If such a thing was to happen, I would completely give up on collecting.
