'give him a pat on the back and clone him' - haha

Great video! Trying to complete or finish up a complete ntsc nes set these days will be extremely expensive, but good luck!

Just got mine today! You want to buy it??

There won’t be a gaming crash, there are simply too many good games coming out that sell well for their to be an industry crash

The difference was that ET was over manufactured but the game still sold over 2 million copies, Concord on the other hand took 8 years to develop and had budget of $400million and flopped hard selling an estimated 25,000 units between Steam and PlayStation, and those are mostly digital copies so physical copies are a harder number to gauge because of the recall.

i love big box collecting living in the UK we don't have many big box games (most of europe had small boxes the whole time) and the few we did died out when the US stores cut the boxes down for shop space so i love being able to grab US copies of games and be able to look in the corner of my living room and see the artwork on the shelfs big boxes are also great decor for a gamers home

I believe this game will be the PS5's rarest game especially for physical collector's. Plus who know unless there's a reprint, or a revival this game will hold it's rare spot! Stadium Events has such a unique origin and story, saw a video on it man so crazy how rare this game is!

I feel this is going to be more akin to how the game NCAA College Basketball 2k3 for the GameCube turned out, where the copies were pulled and never reprinted

Politics and social issues are at least 50% of the reason for me I'm not buying some of these games. I'd like to relax, not have agendas pushed in my face. Kim Belair and her peers have self-inserted themselves and their world views into a large number games, and is its glaringly obvious; I want no part of it.

In fairness, I think it should be noted that when accounting for the money spent on the game in all avenues (including development, advertisement etc) is still likely significantly less then its modern counterpart (referring to concord), the difference of inflation between now and 1983 whilst significant being around $1 in 2024 is roughly $3.16 in 1983 would still not bridge the gap between the cost of ET and Concord. Even if we estimated that ET cost 30 million to make at that time- likely a over-estimation that would still only translate to $94.8 million in todays economy. Thus the 250 million estimated cost of development (which could be more, companies spend way more advertisement in the modern age) would still eclipse the cost of the ET game. However, I would agree that within the gaming landscape that the hit the ET game took- compared to cost was remarkably significant and thus had a real effect on the entire industry. Whereas Concords development cost is less than or around the same price as other major triple AAA front line releases of 2024. Especially those in the live service circle and thus MIGHT not have as significant of any impact, but that is still to be seen and constant failures do add up and can change an industry.

It's not possible to have a 1983 crash anymore thanks to self-publishing and digital downloads, but the big corporation/investor funded businesses can still go out of business... same thing with book publishing, now technically everyone has their own printing press, so it's not gatekept the same way as it was back in the 1900's.

I hope so. I have money saved up waiting for stocks to crash.

I would not say we are in a crash, but maybe a re-balance more appropriate. People are more and more wary of big budget games than ever before for near endless reasons. The biggest though is cost, MTX, and politics. The push to $70 avg price is not going well. Constant push of live service and MTX injection is getting old for many. Finally, politics. Nobody wants to be told they are this or that, especially by developers on social media, when they flip out due to critisism. Indies , and AA games are where people are turning to in droves.

I haven't looked for new games to buy in over a year. Started on Atari in 91 and havent looked back, until this last year. Games all suck now. No thank you on the basic bro COD nazi zombies🤢🤮

It's not exactly one to one with the '83 Gaming Crash (where a cottage industry went almost extinct; with modern gaming infinitely larger and more invasive), but the '24 Gaming Crash feels like an almighty correction none the less with the AAA sector getting decimated (with the current console generation outside of Nintendo a wasteland and too many dumb white elephants like Concord).

I don't think that's as much of a problem today as back then for a variety of reasons. This could get lengthy but I'll try to keep it short... First, and most important, the industry as a whole is far more rubust and diversified now than in 1983 to the point that individual sections can be considered entire industries unto themselves. Mobile gaming is a wholly and completely different industry than PC gaming with its own ecosystem, for example. Similarly, indie gaming is completely different from AAA gaming, retro gaming is an entire ecosystem separate from modern gaming, and so on. We could lose an entire sector of games and it wouldn't affect the others for how differentiated and separate they are - mobile gaming could collapse tonight and it would barely affect the other markets. Second, video games were a far more niche and smaller hobby in 1983 than it is today. Back then, Atari and its competition were considered toys for children, and were often relegated to the toy section of department stores. It was very frowned upon for adults to play video games unless they were playing with their kids, which meant the entire industry was very volatile - what happened to Atari had a ripple effect on the other companies and vice versa. Today there are entire stores and websites dedicated to just video games. Third, that volatility and status as a niche hobby led to a very homogenized and interconnected market - there were only a few options to play video games, of which Atari and Commodore dominated, and the selection of games you could buy at the store was meager at best. The different platforms were easy enough to program for that there was a robust underground bootleg and indie scene, but unless you were a serious gamer and well connected, those were very difficult to find and your average grandparent or aunt/uncle looking for a birthday or Christmas gift wasn't going to find those games. When Atari went under, it took everyone around it down like the Titanic sucking survivors into the water. Fourth, and finally, the video game industry was in its infancy in 1983, and the market was extremely limited. Today, with 40 some years of consoles, games, developers and expansion to fall back on, even if every single AAA and AA studio collapsed at the same time, there would be literally thousands of indie developers ready to fill in the gap, and that's just for people who refuse to play anything released more than three years ago. Many of us have backlogs of games so large we likely will never be able to play them all before we die. The gaming industry as a whole is in rough shape, no doubt, and there likely will be a collapse of some kind in the near future (if it's not already starting), but the industry is also far more robust and varied than it was 40 years ago, so even if a near total collapse would be bigger than 1983, it would also be far more survivable for smaller developers and would, paradoxically, create a far more favorable market for those smaller developers to thrive in. In all honesty, the industry kind of needs a big collapse to cull the corrupted and diseased core companies out of the industry.

According to the internet, the Atari 2600 had around 400-500 games at the time of its demise. Last year alone on Steam alone, over 14000 games were released. There seems to be plenty of money for game studios to chase.

My friend just got one, hasn’t told me if it worked.

You can still play Stadium Events. This is a box and an unplayable disc.

I see concord as Sony level of quality.

grade it.

Dude you are going to be dead before you can get a reasonable sum for that box, specially with that weight you have on your body

No, because I can still play Stadium Events.😉

I knew I should've bought that copy at Walmart.

Isn't a game supposed to be playable? Not sure how valuable is this for coaster collectors, but there's no game inside that disc.

It's the biggest failure in modern gaming history. They made 1% of the $100 budget. Turly spectacular.

As of a few days ago I very much tossed this idea around, more than a handful of times. Concord as well as Stadium Events have very similar sales situations and both considered the rarest game for their system (Concord is the rarest PS5 physical release at the moment). The only other game that holds parallel to these two titles is NBA Elite 11 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 but honestly at this point I would say these three games are in a league of their own in the sense that they are the most desirable and have a story that will creat their spots in gaming history. Like you said, for those who are completists or want to own a piece of gaming history then that is what Concord will be to someone of a serious collector probably within the next 20+ years from now if the game doesn’t get another rerelease anytime soon.

Dougs trolling is off the chart . 😂

Awesome!

It’s time to get my Concord graded.

Raising prices to $70 is a big mistake Because people's expectations rise along with it. And if games don't meet that guess what? People aren't going to buy these games anymore. Instead looking towards smaller experiences at a fair price. So sales are lost and you end up having a deep discount a month later which dramatically reduces revenue even further. Go back to $60 and I guarantee the industry will adjust accordingly and look healthy again.

It's starting to look like they're rolling out more and more inventory over time, and honestly these GameStop Retro videos are starting to get more and more optimistic. I hope this can somewhat get retro gaming back in a better place. If being a rewards member will get me deals, I'm definitely more motivated to get a membership.

i have no idea why there are still so many haters hating on GME =(

Greasy Aaron in the Thumbnail! ⚰️

I think your hit the nail on the head. I've always wondered about the devices that sell 6000 games. And whether it was legal to own. I wish the US gov would shut these down before innocent people get fooled by their availability.

these are sold at almost every 7/11 in my city all full in stock no one buys them are they worth the 50?

If Atari had a proper road map for these releases, they probably should have made the 2600+ only compatible with 2600 cartridges. That way there would have been more incentive for people to buy both systems.

I guess if you are an Atari Purist, a 7800+ system that plays 2600 games is more authentic to the original. As opposed to a 2600+ which plays 7800 games. Which the original could never do. It does feel a bit weird popping a 7800 cart into a 2600+ system and having it work

One thing I do not do, as someone who grew up without a phone in my face, is I don't look up values on my phone in front of the seller at a yard sale. It's just rude, imo.

Just watched you hook up RR. Super cool of you. Subbed! Keep'em comin.

I love pixel game squad for their show but on whatnot, the price are just more expensive than suppose to. I just ignore and go to smaller seller to get what I need. I did comment on what their youtube channel regarding their overall pricetag.

'Used - Good' 😅

I talked the guy selling the filthy NES down to $200. Who’s laughing now?!?!

Marketplace is an endless rabbit hole. :D
