This man is an underappreciated legend. A youtuber that is legit just down to earth and silly AF. Keep on trucking my dude, keep it real for us small bois
I recently picked up that UMD Advent Children for a good price and it is a viiiibe! Such an aggressively mid 2000s movie on an aggressively mid 2000s piece of hardware lol Its a match made in heaven
I agree. Visiting my daughter I noticed a new video game store near her place. Run by some nice young guys. Purchased 17 games for $115. Across various gens and systems. Nothing wrong with getting games at a good price.
Oh man that Dark Souls trilogy ps4 box was a gem of mine too before I sold my ps4, super nostalgic, those discs definitely got the max use out of them for the insane amounts I played them all constantly! :D
Man Saboteur was one of my favorite games in high school. I always thought it looked so sick in black and white, I didn’t want it to go back in color haha. The DLC was top notch too
This is truly one of my favorite channels. Your comedic timing is impeccable and I love hearing your thoughts and memories about the different games in your hauls and collection. Cheers!
I always install 360 games to a internal or external HDD. Helps system run cooler, also a way to see if game is 100% working. Enjoyed the video, I like watching them👍
Second Son is a great PS4 game and the first platinum trophy I got. You don't need to play the others to play it. You should definitely pick it up if you see it again at that price!
I loved The Saboteur, and was quite sad when EA closed Pandemic after the release. I often wonder what a current gen Mercenaries could look like, the closest probably being Just Cause. My gripes with The Saboteur mostly lie with attempting to 100% it, I think there was something like 1400 collectibles/things to interact with, which is lots, made worse with the not great/slow climbing and limited "parkour". It was still nice to have the freedom on offer, mimicking that of Assassins Creed climbing, but in a more traditional open world style.
You know it’s going to be a good time chilling with CJ for half an hour 🤙 People are sleeping on Walmart pick ups man lol I recently got the first Blasphemous on switch there for $30, which is insanely good considering how much that game has gone up since the second one came out 😮
Great video as always mate!! Gday from Australia. Just wanted to say you’ve inspired me to plug my 360 into my crt instead of the hd tv. Totally changed my retro set up!! Best move ever. Haven’t played anything else since 😂
Disc rot might be a little early for Red Dead, no? I hear about it happening mostly to old PSX games that were pressed cheaply/poorly so hopefully that one has a long life ahead of it! Great vid as always :)
I've had a couple Xbox 360 games with disc rot 😬 It can happen if there is a small crack in the outer ring which can let oxygen into the data layer (so it will always happen from the inside of a disc with Xbox 360 games). It's definitely rare though
Awesome pickups! Saboteur is a fantastic game that a lot of people have slept on! I'm sure you'll have a blast playing it! Tales of Arise is the 1st of the series that I've played and for a jrpg it's not that long as it can be completed in 40h! Midnight Suns has been bashed upon because of the card system but if you're a fan of tactics games, you won't be disappointed! I've never played the Prototype games but I got them recently on PSN (because the PS4 physical edition is pricey for whatever reason) so I will definitely look them out eventually! The Witcher 2 is a phenomenal game! Really good haul all around! Great video and keep up the good work!
Good call on the metal gear solid collection purchase, scalpers are just gonna jack up the price in a few years when it gets old. Especially the switch version
I hope not but yeah the Switch version just seemed like a good one to get in on. And I've already played 2+3 on the switch since buying it, so totally worth it!
I love the channel dude been watching for awhile 😊 btw EverQuest for ps2 doesn’t work since online for ps2 is long gone unfortunately 😂 I bought a copy purely for the cover art knowing it is a paper weight 😂 I’m a huge fantasy nerd so I had to have it 😂
I’ve been trading in some of my PS3 collection for the Xbox 360 versions as well. It’s nice to play them on the series x. Do you collect for the Sega Genesis at all?
Am somewhat new to the channel I don’t believe I’ve ever heard you talk about the series X. You seem to like games that run at 60 frames particularly the older games that are all upgraded through backwards compatibility. Witcher two I believe also has a 4K upgrade on series X and Xbox one X.
Yeah I still don't have one. I definitely want to get one, I just prioritized the PS5 because there were more new games I wanted to play on it. The backwards compatibility on the X is really cool though
Nine months later, but that splinter cell collection on PS3 is junk…bad ports The best way to play those games are on the series X through backwards compatibility in 4K. I always marvel at these channels like yours (and hundreds other to be fair… Radical Reggie? )where people collectively overtime will spend thousands and THOUSANDS of dollars on games but won’t spend $350 on a preowned series X.🤷♂️
@collectorjohn9538 Aw. I just got one for $20 awhile back but haven't tried it yet. What didn't you like about it? Also, on the cases, if you visit the store frequently maybe they can give you a couple of cases as a consumer perk.
@@collectorjohn9538 They kind of ruined their good will with Redfall but kind of sounds like that was corporate input that ruined that game. There were parts of it were I almost felt like initially they were going for a Prey type game in a vampire setting which could have been freaking awesome!
I'm a simple man, I see a new Collector John upload, my stress levels immediately fall and I want to go beanie shopping
Hope you find a good one!

Yeah I might have to go back for it 😅
Prototype games are peak 7gen open world goodness. The have a pretty dope anti hero vibe going to.
Blood Stone 007 is the game where the Need for Speed devs did the racing levels. Both are great games btw. Good vid man!
The saboteur had a topless club code when it first came out
The Saboteur is a masterpiece. I have it on the PS3, and I love that game.

Some good hauls! Prototype were amazing in my opinion. And the James Bond games from the original Xbox were 🔥.
The James Bond games are so good
@@collectorjohn9538 I actually have some for the ps2. Might play them on the ps3 later 🤔

Always a better day when you upload a new video! Legit my favorite channel right now!
Thanks so much dude 🙏
Loving the videos. This is real good. Traded a stack and got a dtack. That definitly was a good day
Yup it was awesome 😎
They do have 007 Night Fire on the original Xbox and I have played it and is a really good game
I absolutely loved Nightfire back in the day
You know it’s going to be a good time chilling with CJ for half an hour 🤙

That's a nice find! Yeah I feel like I might need to go there more haha

Lol great to hear. I have two Xbox 360s: one on a CRT, one on an HDTV and they're both fun to play on
I love these
as a ebay reseller , i love watching his cool finds
Great video! Really enjoy how you cross generations in your collecting.
Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel today and I feel super relaxed and good watching your videos. ☺️ Thank you, TH-cam recommended, (for once). 😂
At Walmart i grabbed Anno 1800 for Series X $10.00!! During this period I also saw Unbound but passed it up
Nice!
I think I played saboteur back in the day it was good from what I remember takes place in France if I'm not wrong
Big Dog John! Love the crewneck! I’d love to watch a livestream of you playing really anything in the future if you get the time!
Working on that 🙏
Great video man! I absolutely loved Shift! I thought Shift 2 was trash... so did a lot of people. haha

@@collectorjohn9538 woah, that's crazy! Sorry to hear, but now I know to keep an eye out. Hope that RDR copy holds out :)
Great video and pickups. I just got Red Dead Redemption ps3, from goodwill.
Sweet find! Thanks for watching!
RDR is a masterpiece. Don’t forget about the Undead Nightmare dlc!
@@lesterbronson2385 I got the red dead redemption, with the undead nightmare on Xbox one, two disc set.
Cool pickups! Would alos love to find a copy of Saboteur.
Nice pickups! Games seem to be more expensive in the US compared to here in the UK 😮
Protype is really fun and can never go wrong with 007 games

Hey kitty kitty intro....and the game pickups....mmm noice.....😏
Very noice indeed
Ive looking out for your new vid for two weeks man!
Tales of Arise for $7.99 is pretty sweet. I would of just picked that up as an investment piece. Late console release + RPG = profit LOL
True! Hard to pass on at that price. And I do love Tales of Symphonia so 🤷
I love the channel dude been watching for awhile 😊 btw EverQuest for ps2 doesn’t work since online for ps2 is long gone unfortunately 😂 I bought a copy purely for the cover art knowing it is a paper weight 😂 I’m a huge fantasy nerd so I had to have it 😂
That cover is so sick haha
very fun video!
13:37 Darn straight
Anyone else watch Collector John exclusively on 480p or just me?
I'm really happy for you. Might start filming more stuff on my VHS-C camcorder
@@collectorjohn9538 sounds good mate! The quality just suits the vibe of the channel I feel 😁 you'll like Prototype too it's a fun game
Fuggin’knocks is right 🤙🏻 #vibes
Tales of arise is amazing !!!
I’d like to have that duke controller

Hi Collector John You Should Try To Buy A Ps5 Version Of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume One For Ps5 In The Future
I’ve been trading in some of my PS3 collection for the Xbox 360 versions as well. It’s nice to play them on the series x. Do you collect for the Sega Genesis at all?
Not at the moment. It's not something I grew up with or have much of a connection with
Thanks for the video!
In what year was the 'Collector John Corolla' manufactured, if you don't mind me asking?
It's a 2014 Toyota Corolla S with 110,000 miles

U should go back and get that infamous
Ugh I prolly should 😪
Stray is the game I need and want . Never played it
Nice. $62. What did you get for the Duke Controller?
They didn't buy it 😬

Sega bass fishing fkn slaps dude 🔥 🔥🔥
I'm happy to hear this. Do you know if the Wii version has the same music as the original?
@@collectorjohn9538 Same music I think yes
Metro Redux! 🔥
Yeah buddy! I like the first two games a lot more than Exodus haha
YaaaY 🎉
Howdy
Over🎁 😀🤘🏼
No Collector John, I do care about you :-)
Thanks 🥺
Prey is a masterpiece in my opinion it’s sad no one cares about it.
Very sad indeed. Arkane is an underrated studio
@@collectorjohn9538 Wish we got a prey sequel instead of Redfall.
