I do live streams going through my collection and there's always one person that says "I can emulate your whole collection" and it's like..."what am I supposed to do with this info?" Some don't understand the joys of collecting physical media. There's a place for emulation and a place for physical. They can co-exist
If something happened where I lost my physical collection, I would just go the Everdrive route and modify my disc consoles to play roms. That's a great way to play on original hardware with original performance.

@@earendurvoneinzbern7585 Yes, it is just that. You guys really need to get with the homebrew modding stuff and let go of this mentality that corporations love to promote. Yes, bugs exist but only for a short while. Developers in the scene are always working on fixing and patching games whenever a user points out a glitch, and they're usually pretty quick to fix them.
Very well stated points. I agree. You need to balance. I try to balance between buying and selling. Keeping the actual dollars spent versus dollars recouped at a good differential. Like you said also keeping it real. Why buy RPG's if you dont play them. I buy racing games and fps games. A fighter here and there. Thats it. No need to have everything. Be a curator. You dont eat what you dont like. Dont buy what you dont play.
I don't think people understand collecting games, and it is unfortunate that the world we live in throws away items because it is not the "Newest Thing" I like having the games, just like people like to buy and collect DVDs. Video games is a piece of work and so much effort and imagination has gone into the game. I like it cause you are just not watching a movie but you are active and your brain is working to solve problems. It is actually brain exercise!! Some of these games have puzzles and require you to think. It is not just brainless fun, like watching movies!! I also like to own my collection and I know that I will always have it, not like what we see with the cloud. You pay for online games that can be easily removed. I believe that Y2K has hit the nail on the head, great commentary on collecting!! I would buy Y2K a beer and discuss game collecting!! This is a great channel, keep up the work!!
I would say there is healthy good reason for both. :D I a rent a small room so I have to be cautious with what I collect. If I had the space... my walls would be covered lol. I mainly focus on tv shows / movies that are more niche and hard to come by / out of print Usually games that have a crap ton of dlc or don't have a physical release... I'll buy digitally. Simply because there is no other way to play it physically in it's complete form For example Age of Empires franchise Rust Borderland's pandora's box collection Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Sims 4 Simcity 2013 Children of the Sun Death Must die Palworld Satisfactory Railway Empires 1 + 2 Or if the game is just way to expensive to buy it physically like Celeste is like $35 at target Or wait for a steam sale and pick it up for $2 It basically comes down to a case by case basis for me.
He is right though. I would say the xbox360/ps3 generation was the last, where mainly finish products was released. You could play them right away from disc without installation or patching required. Games nowadays are shipped unfinished. Often requires a „day one patch“ or online connection for first installation, otherwise the game can’t be played. More often the full game isn’t even on the disc you bought, you have to download the rest during installation. So technically yes, the physical media you can buy right now, are all crap and worthless. Up to 360 I would say is fine and is worth collecting as a physical medium
That's why u must buy games that can be played offline..eg stellar blade I turned off online on my ps5 ...worked just fine start to finish..it's not rocket science.
@@MaxRager80 Replace broken with bugged and it means more. Game often work start to finish unpatched, but you cant deny final patches usually put the game in the creators actual intended state. Days Gone is a good example for PS4. V1.00 versus 1.85 or whatever are completely different(ish) games. They fixed A LOT.
Physical games are no different than sports cards , art or anything else people collect. Its the joy of finding something you've been looking for , its having it in a special place in your house to look at whenever you want. Physical game collecting will hopefully never die.
best way to collect and preserve is on pc, offline with emulation....why the fuck would i have full room of useless plastic to look at? i wanna have all my games offline on 1 device to play just with double click
i got a huge game haul thats worth $7k for only $900. I came across someone clearing out their basement and garage. they were wanting all the games gone for only $750, I said Ill take it and gave them another $150. theres complete in box chrono trigger, super mario rpg, sunset riders, super metroid and ton more. I found earthbound and megaman x3 loose in the bottom of the tote. so many people are mad at me saying I ripped them off but, they were happy with me giving them an extra $150.
I would NEVER invest in all digital content. Once the server goes down…it’s game over and those company has ZERO remorse to the player. Especially American developers.
A friend of mine has his apartment looking like a warehouse he can't control the urge to buy games old and new.. everything that looks collectable he just goes and buy it. The recent Xbox 360 FOMO have him on a spiral to get as many physical or digital games as possible before the last day on July 29th...I told him before that he is getting crazy but he doesn't listen.
Collecting games 8th gen & onward is practically pointless since most consoles nowadays are practically low end PCs & most games released on modern consoles are also on PC. 7th gen is a bit shaky. Doesn't help that 7th gen console onward have became more & more dependent on day one updates overtime.
Honestly, as a nintendo fan. Switch is still worth it in the sense that if you're into niche titles.. It's great collecting fun collecting and horrible if you're broke and if you ain't broke now... you will be. (Price wise) Most my switch collection is 1st party, Square Enix, Atlus, Sega, Xseed, Idea factory, Devolver digital.. etc I'd say it's still important to collect. I've been on pc for 16 years now, but these days I'm more into having physical games. I picked up a series x back in dec 2023. I've been recently picking up games at gamestops, fb marketplace, or second-hand shops from smaller businesses in my local area. 1. Xbox one games are incredibly cheap like $3-10. I'd say currently you encounter 9/10 the games are $20 & under. I currently have 100 titles atm mostly xbox one ports, a couple 360 & series x titles. 56/100 were which $10 & under. 14/100 were $13-15 20/100 were $16-$20 (most of them I found for $10 each though, but they usually go for around $15-20) 6/100 were $25-$30 (new release, but pre-owned / sealed) 2/100 were $40 (newer releases) 2/100 were $50 (newer releases) 1/100 was $60 (new release) 1/100 was $70 (new release)
LOL. I may be only person currently playing COD Finest Hour campaign on OG Xbox. Still plays well. The manual is like a book. Plan on reading it as soon as I finish the campaign. You cant do that with digital. Sometimes I will buy a game on both or if digital only. I will buy it. However, a physical copy cannot be beat.
i will never go digital cause two problems that happen too me one i got hacked into my xbox account i almost lost my account i got hacked out of my digital games . also my friend i know for 3 year snow he got banned on xbox for no reason 12 years of his account of digital games gone now he is on the switch and is physical collection . me i all ways go disc i do both sometimes for digital i do emergency games like oneecha barana bikini warrior on the 360 ya collector channels that say buy this game now before it goes that increased the price at 200 now i got it for 4$ on sale on digital store . i just like too collection but for you as a reseller why do you collect as well . resellers should just sell your collection then . i keeping my only for emergency if the worse come to worse for me . i dont collect i also play my games to come too my real lets play channel my kind of channels on youtube are dying breed people would watch a rant channel guy like you . i suck at them too but i play them . i enjoy them
I appreciate it, but you don't have to explain yourself. I get it, I'm with you. When it's all said and done you haven't hurt anybody, so collect your games. Have fun man, you only live once!
Some don't understand that it's part of life we live and happen to enjoy. Gaming can be that escape that takes us back to them happy times we have fond memories of. I think many individuals that complain are jealous that some have more than others and wanna argue because they don't have it, my opinion? Nothing beats collecting physical media and with the thrill of the hunt!🙂
For anyone asking why collect the physical copies, if they haven't seen the latest Louis Rossman video on Redbox then there is no reaching them. I'll just keep my old consoles, blu ray/dvd, vhs, and it's media offline and have peace of mind.
well if you love to collect your physical copy go ahead and continue its your money and your joy. if emulator is your thing you go head with that as well. im a game collector from the iland of jamaica it doesn't really matter what i hear people say.
"Why do you do it?" I enjoy it. I buy and play physical games, and I also emulate games for free. These two things aren't exclusive. To me it just seems like jealousy. You own these things and they don't. I see no value in sports card collecting, but I don't care enough to badger people on why they collect ink on cardboard. I can get the image off the internet. Who cares, they enjoy everything associated with collecting baseball cards.

Or wait for a steam sale and pick it up for $2
It basically comes down to a case by case basis for me.
Physical media is pointless if the version on disc isnt final. When servers are down, everyone will be playing broken games.
Very few games are truly "broken" so your point is invalid. I play all my games with no patches and 99% are playable to the end.
He is right though. I would say the xbox360/ps3 generation was the last, where mainly finish products was released. You could play them right away from disc without installation or patching required.
