Thread died quick.
What should I know before getting into game collecting?

gen5 is a lost cause
gen6 is rapidly becoming a lost cause
gen7 is your only hope

Just buy the shit you want to collect. Check prices so you dont get ripped off. Also it aint worth it in general. You'll get bored of it eventually. You think now it'll be awesome to have this huge collection but just save your money. Or if you really want to have some sort of collection make it a theme. My theme was to buy shitty fighting games and every dinosaur game on ps1.

I just want to buy games I want to play or that I have played in the past and want to play again.
Jose Kelly
Thats fine. Just don't end up buying games you have no intention of playing just to buy games.

If I have the generations right
5 - PSX/N64/SAT/3DO
6 - DC/PS2/XBX/GCN
7 - 360/PS3/Wii
I don't know if id want to collect something that relies on DLC and patches so I guess I'll just try to grab what I can from Gen6. But just based on what I've seen today, remember I'm new at this, there are far more Gen6 games that break the $100 barrier (kind of a personal limit) than Gen5.

at this point it's all about luck for collecting games pre-gen7 for cheap
Chase Peterson
Game collecting got very expensive if you want to play older games just emulate them
Kayden Diaz
You can only get good deals on PS3 games. That's about it.
