It’s not much, but here’s my “legendarily bad games” display. I own hundreds of old games, but these bad boys are the only ones out 24/7

Need Some Sorting Ideas

Here's the vast majority of my collection I need some ideas on how to better organize it. just built the 3rd shelf on the right (had them in random shelfs on the other two before), i have the xbox 360 game separated by ones i grew up with (on top) and one i liked after collecting on bottom.

Well let me know what y'all think and any ideas y'all got, ill be sure to answer any question, prolly tomorrow a bit drunk right now.

I’ve never owned a PlayStation console until today and now I have the itch.

I also ordered the PS Portal but it’s not getting here until tomorrow, super excited about this. I want to get the PS, PS2, PS3 and PS4 just to own them. Am I too late? What games do you recommend?

Nice pickups today

Got a steal on the NDS, $90 complete. Not the craziest deal on this sub reddit but I was happy. It's in great condition, only slightly yellowed on the LR buttons

Trying to purchase Baldur's Gate 3 for PS5

Hello fellow hunters. It has come to my attention that a physical version of the ESRB rating Baldur's Gate 3 for PS5 was released early in 2024. I assumed it was only released in JP and almost got a copy until I read that the publisher had to censor it for CERO ratings. Is this the correct site to buy the copy? I changed the site to US region but the case in the photo still says USK.

What do you guys do with the sleeves of steel books/collectors editions?

I like to display my collectors edition boxes outside of the sleeves and eventually I want a separate display for all my steelbooks (also outside the sleeves). What should I do with the sleeves? I'd rather keep them instead of tossing them.

Just got a Switch in box and turns out it’s from Launch Day! Any additional collector value to that?

Pick these two up. One is a nightmare hellscape with grotesque characters and psychological trauma and the other is Silent Hill.
