Modern Video Games / Re: Previously limited print items given wide retail releases

« on: July 25, 2022, 03:03:48 pm »

Best Buy has been selling LRGames for over a year at least. Are you sure the pre-orders aren't LRG's? I have maybe 10-12 LRG's and I've never ordered from them, just bought them in store at Best Buy.

They currently have a ton of games available for online purchase as well.

Edit: Here are their current LRG pre-orders. All the ones you mentioned are here.

General / Re: Would you keep a gaming related gift from your ex? Or sell or dispose of it?

I'd most likely keep whatever the stuff is. I tend to have relationships end on decent terms, but even if I didn't I would be able to separate the object from the person. Now if they tried to murder me or something, that may be different...lol.

Off Topic / Re: What Was The Last Movie/Anime You Watched?

I just watched "Sorcerer" with Roy Scheider. While it was pretty good, but I felt the way the story started was too jumbled and could have been way smoother. It did have some great tension.
Roy was outstanding as ever, and the soundtrack was ahead of it's time.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Hulk 2003 DVD with Xbox game demo

« on: May 31, 2022, 04:58:45 pm »

I've recently picked up a DVD copy of Hulk 2003 from the thrift store, and I noticed that disc 2 contains a demo of a level from Hulk on Xbox. I was curious if something like this would be allowed in the database, since it's technically a demo of a game. And if it is, how would I go about titling and formatting it since it's kinda unique in that it's a DVD movie with a game demo on it? Here's some images of the case and disc: https://imgur.com/a/M17BjAW

Now I have to dig into my DVD's (Boxed up since I moved) and see if I have that...I actually might.

I would think it should be allowed here, but beyond that IDK.

General / Re: Does Anyone Else Sort Their Games By Genre?

« on: April 05, 2022, 05:02:10 pm »

That would make things way too complicated, IMO....at least with a larger collection.

Generally, I keep all my games alphabetically by console. I DO separate games that require peripherals however.

Ex- Xbox 360, most games alpha, but I do have a few that are separate: Kinect Games, Music Games (Rock Band, Guitar Hero, etc), and Toys to life games are in little "mini" groups.
AKA if It can't be played (though I know some music games can be) with a normal controller I separate it.
Like...My PS4 VR games are not mixed in with the rest.

I certainly think if you really focus on certain genres this can be helpful. I just have too much for that to be effective (Well, for me anyway)

General / Re: Owning the same title for multiple consoles

I've got quite a few games where I own copies on multiple platforms. Typically the main reasons are:

5) I forgot I owned that game

That's when you know you have a lot of games 

I have this site saved on my phone so that when I go into a used shop I can see what I already have...so many times that's saved me from buying something I don't need haha

I often buy the same game across consoles of the same gen, just because. I do like to get achievements and trophies. Remakes, you bet. PC versions too...sure. I have no problem having multiple versions of games on other consoles.

Classic Video Games / Re: How Rare Do You Think It Is To Find SNES Cartridges Today?

« on: March 27, 2022, 12:28:59 am »

Vary vary rare in my opinion all the collectors bought up the worlds stock, where can I even find Super Nintendo games anymore? I see a lot of people on this site own the cartridges but are hanging onto them and not letting any go, I rarely ever saw SNES cartridges in the wild when I was searching about 4 years ago too.

can anybody point out any SNES compilations that are being sold perhaps a ROM cartridge?

Why would I “let go” of games that I enjoy and have meaning to me?

It is funny this comment was made on a collecting site.

That said, a couple [places here have them, but I haven't looked at what they have. Retro gaming is a pretty small market here so most places dont go that far back.

Classic Video Games / Re: Have You Ever Played (Earthbound) ROM or SNES Cartridge?

« on: March 22, 2022, 09:57:01 pm »

I never have, as it came out when I wasn't into gaming anymore. Sounds like I may need to pick it up on the wii-u store before it's too late.

General / Re: Cheapest game or console you ever bought?

« on: March 22, 2022, 09:55:31 pm »

Bought? Ive bought several games for .50 each, and there used a store here that would sell games like Rock Band (And Hannah Montana, lol) for 2 for .99. I was at a game store the other day and found a 15 year old PC game in the free bin. Don't know if that works though.

Best though was around 2001-2002 a guy I met on the internet offered me his dreamcast and all the games he had for it...for free. Met him in an empty parking lot in the middle of the night.
(We knew each other awhile and we had mutual real life friends, so even though he was a relative stranger I felt comfortable) Ah to be young an invincible. Anyway, he wasn't a serial killer and I still have said dreamcast and all the games

Around 2005 or so someone I worked with offered me a free SNES with a stack of games. Still have all them too

General / Re: Ever bought a game for a system you didn't own?

« on: March 18, 2022, 05:23:11 pm »

I owned a couple NES games before getting a NES. I used to take them to my friends house to play. I knew I would get on eventually, lol

I also bought a few PS3 games (Holiday clearance) before finally getting a PS3. I also knew I'd eventually break down and get one.

I currently have 1 sealed PS5 game that I bought dirt cheap, though I have no intentions of getting a PS5.

Digitally, I have almost 2 dozen XBX/S games (Usually acquired through cross buy) despite not knowing if I'll ever get one.

I have 1 sealed PSP game, 4 sealed Vita games, 4 sealed PS2 games (+2 used), and 4 sealed Switch games. I don't have, have never had, nor do I expect to ever own any of those systems. They were picked up super cheap and I figured I'd rather have them just in case (I was hoping to get a Vita once upon a time, but not happening now)

General / Re: What do you do with price tag stickers and receipts?

I remove price stickers, but that's all.

Receipts? I never keep those.

Modern Video Games / Re: Wii U & Nintendo 3DS eShop Discontinuation

« on: February 16, 2022, 04:53:26 pm »

I was literally just thinking about this last night...how long will the Wii U be supported. Sad for sure, but I'm grateful they are giving ample notice with a clear breakdown of what is happening when.

Thanks for the info.
