    Hey guys - it's me - the collector here!


    So for all you guys asking if I play them all, why the f*** etc here are my responses.


    1) I run the Personal Computer Museum ([www.pcmuseum.ca]) in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. My goal is to combine my video game collections and my computers (we have over 700 computers, and a couple of thousand pieces of software) with my game collection

    2) I don't just collect Sony - I have virtually every gaming system including a complete Dreamcast collection, complete Virtual Boy collection and complete Microvision too. I also have over 730 original Xbox games. Over 6,000 games in total!

    3) No...I have not played them all!

    4) Yes, I do love to play games too I don't just sit on them. I have 100% completed around 50 games and tried thousands

    5) All my collections are in alphabetical order. How else would I find anything?

    @Sydric: Sooo... how much buttering up would it take for you to let visitors "appreciate" your collection? I'll bring my own food and bed. :P

    @SwindleUK: I own a fair bit of games...maybe all my systems added up together might yield in the neighborhood of 1000....maaaaaaybe.


    But this?!? This makes me feel soooooo much better about the stack of PS2 games I have, which tops out currently at 144. The pressure is GONE!

    Shit, I replied on the wrong post, sorry!!


    Regarding this one. I have a few PS2 games, and I collect consoles (but I only have the games I like). So, even being a collector, I would only buy the stuff I like, I guess, but that´s not really collecting, is it? hehehe

    Maybe I´m ignorant, but can´t someone release an upscaller for the wii, like the ones they use on DVD´s? Granted they don´t like like Blu-Rays, but cheap dvds are coming with HDMI´s for a while and they do look good for what they are.

    @Fernando Jorge: The problem from a collectors point of view is that these games, like all software, will depreciate in value over time. Eventually, this collection will be worthless.

    @Jekht: I just don't understand WHY the fuck you'd want all those games. It's garuntee'd he will never play even half of them. For God sakes, I own a total of maybe 25 PS2 games and I still haven't competed them all.

    @Đipic: Hey guys--it's me, the collector! Wow some of your comments are so short-sighted.


    I run the Personal Computer Museum ([www.pcmuseum.ca]) in Brantford, Ontario and my goal is to have all these games (and in total, the over 6,000 video games I have) on display. So does that answer your questions as to why?

    @Sydric: If your goal is simply the preservation of PS2 games, then no one can really whine about how much utter garbage that collection must contain. Still, I do have to ask if you're serious about preserving these games, why are you just stacking them on a bookcase? Seems to me you'd at least polybag them. :^)
