I've been going back and collecting games. I've only been getting games that I do plan on playing or playing again since they were childhood games. I got a ways to go to catch up on them all though.
@@VetKifayat thats fascinating. I doubt I've owned 150 games over my 11 consoles and 25 years of gaming. I tend to be more selective in what I buy and can be on the fence for a while before I'd buy😅
@@jamesvancam yeah thats true if you plan on playing each of the games. For that, I think its amazing that you could be that interested in that many genre's of games. For others though, it seems they do collect for the sake of collecting. Like Ryan collecting black cover editions and not game of the year or whatever. Its just interesting.
"This ps2 case is 2007 and up". Not true, memory cardless cases were formally introduced in 2004. Production of the old style cases ceased in 07. Also, the first year or so of PS2 games in both America and Europe did not have memory card holders.
I’d agree, I’ve just bought a ps3 again for the soul purpose of playing the ratchet and clank trilogy that got a ps3 remaster, the nostalgia of those games will be incredible I can’t wait for it to be delivered
I guess the grimy situation with the PS2 comes from 3 factors: - it was wildly successful so you have a lot of little kids with cheeto fingers all the way to careless adults with ashtrays handling these; - from the slim version onwards it was very "portable" in the sense that people would be taking their consoles (and games) with them to a friend's house, to parties, to college dorms, etc. so a lot of handling there as well; - the dvd case is simply less grime resistant than cd jewel cases. it's very easy for the inside part of the front cover to be exposed, both from the film coming off at the corners to the hole behind the clips inside that hold the manual.
10:36 yup! MLB 2K12 was one of the last ever PS2 games that was released in the USA. ⚾️ I actually remember pre-ordering that game for PS2 and waiting for it to come out! It was so much worse than MLB 2K11😅😂
Please make a documentary about how PlayStation won the 5th generation. All videos I've seen about that moment are from Nintendo or Sega's perspective, and sometimes even depict PlayStation as the villain, when in reality both companies did some mistakes that made them lose competitive advantage.
@@WeencieRants Dreamcast was Marketed well, Sega Spent a lot of their money on Dreamcast marketing. but behind the scenes they were bleeding money. That is what made them leave the console business.
Seeing as I'm a week late to watch this (I'm busy as hell lately), I see everyone else has commented about the dad stuff. I'm just here to say I'm happy you feel comfortable enough to drop that in a video like this, Ryan. We don't just like the way you make your videos, we like you as an individual as well. Thanks for always being so open with us. It doesn't go unnoticed. (EDIT: Love the iguana info as well!)
It's funny because Street Fighter ex3 is actually really good, but I assume the buyer didn't have much of an understanding of fighting games which is why it must've been used once or twice.
@@MegaFinalRound not always true. Look up Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Greatest Hits, and see the latest sold listing. This is one of the rarest GH games on PS3, and one just sold brand new for $167.
Been a (fairly) long time subscriber and I love your dedication to PS, from collecting, to news, to the majority of games that come out and you test them
I shouldn't be surprised that sports games came out in 2012, even 2013 on the PS2 (like PES for example). But a Baseball game in 2011, still find it funny
***Typing this at the start of the video so if it comes true towards the end please ignore*** Next time you do these kind of videos for ps1, PS2 or PS3 games PLEASE end the video with those consoles on display with you powering it on, insert and playing a couple of games my dude. Thanks!!! And thanks for the videos!!! 🙏
@@timelymirror7826 one game per video like these. Should have made it clear. Didn't think I needed to. One console startup, one game boot, one gameplay. That's it. All just for nostalgia.
i got a ps2 6 months ago from a thrift store for 5 bucks and it worked perfectly fine. Im up to a little over 100 games in my collection since then. Definitely one of my favorite gaming consoles ever
I had a copy of Obscure The Aftermath with Gamestop stickers placed directly on the case art, was able to successfully remove it with some Goo Gone and Rubbing Alcohol, but it was a SLOW project, you gotta be careful. But as long as it's the glossy original case art, and not someone's at-home project, you can use Goo Gone on it and the oil won't bleed through it. But if you tear the art at all, or pull off the glossy layer, it will bleed through, so go slow and steady, be gentle with that sticker and it'll come out beautiful
Those Blockbuster cases (and GameCube) allow you to insert a plastic "lock" into that hole in the bottom right. It would prevent people from stealing the disc from off the shelf.
Yessss! I love mystery unboxings, especially PS2 games. Keep with these, we support you 100% ❤️ I thought this was an old video in my recommendation but I know I watched all of them already so I knew it had to be a new video
The PlayStation®2 was, and still is very good at handling EXTREMELY beat up discs. I have a PS2 game called "Herdy Gerdy"(which is my only physical copy of a game) that I found in Dad's 90's french DVD collection, with the box but no manual, and the disc is extremely beat up, extremely scratched, but it works fine, and without slow loading times.
I’ve been a PlayStation gamer since release of the ps1 and I never owned a single Gran Turismo game until GT7 and I only got it for PSVR2 and now I’m hooked lol. I bought the wheel and customized the pedals, wheel and shifter in a week after discovering this unknown unknown 😅
I really like the little stories you tell while unboxing, like the iguana, it was so random and gave me a good laugh :D keep up the good work! You make very quality videos, you are one of my favorite TH-camrs for real and I know I'm not alone :)
Its funny you mentioning black labels vs other releases. On the OG xbox, nba ballers platinum is the most expensive game, selling at 1200$+. I think collecting subsets is really fun.
The vice city greatest hits is better because it is guaranteed that the save glitch is completely fixed, on the black label you have to pay attention to the sku number. The only advantage of the black label is that it has one additional song removed in later versions and that is it.
I was sat here going "what the hell is the greatest hits games?" the whole way through this, I've only ever seen Platinum re-releases. I have a few of them myself. I suppose it's different in North America.
Good video but I believe that nba ballers disc is the 1st original game. The case is ballers "phenom" which is the 2nd game in the NBA ballers franchise so you got ballers 1 in a ballers 2 case

“Bundle will not include more than 1 racing game.” His bundle had 5. Lol
I'm always amazed that people collect games and duplicate editions that they will not play.

I've been going back and collecting games. I've only been getting games that I do plan on playing or playing again since they were childhood games. I got a ways to go to catch up on them all though.

Definitely best for survival horror games, jrpgs were awesome too.

I guess the grimy situation with the PS2 comes from 3 factors:
- it was wildly successful so you have a lot of little kids with cheeto fingers all the way to careless adults with ashtrays handling these;
- from the slim version onwards it was very "portable" in the sense that people would be taking their consoles (and games) with them to a friend's house, to parties, to college dorms, etc. so a lot of handling there as well;
- the dvd case is simply less grime resistant than cd jewel cases. it's very easy for the inside part of the front cover to be exposed, both from the film coming off at the corners to the hole behind the clips inside that hold the manual.
I wish I had enough money to just buy bulk amounts of random games
*like how cool is that*

20 dollars almost for True Crime New York for example...its £4 ($5) in the UK.
Toothpaste and micro fibre clothes is what i use to fix my discs and it works great.
Mad, here in the UK most of these games sell for £1 each, that streets of New York only sells for £4 on eBay
Crazy isn’t it. They are really getting ripped off big time in the states pay for 2nd hand PlayStation games.
Why do you add up complete prices when the games aren’t even complete?
💯. He is totally wrong for that!
Exactly what i was thinking
Agreed. I would've gone for "loose copy" prices if there is no manual.
That's what I'm saying!
That's what I'm saying, is his source reference even accurate?
I picked up my psp today and I still love that thing.
Never knew my dad.. sounds so familar.. my father passed away almost little over one year ago.. and sometimes I also feel the same way..
