What do you think about the rise in PS1 game prices? Has this affected your collecting at all?

Castlevania Chronicles was always a dollar muncher, but the fact that SOTN which used to be 60 is now 170 it makes my blood boil.
I'm still collecting for this console it's infuriating.
@retro game fan never had that issue. Only in the 90s.
Most people take care of them now. Besides I'd rather play on my tv
@@StarForceBelmont321 what's crazy to is I bought chronicles when it released and was $20 and sotn sold enough to have a greatest hits copy meaning there are shit tons of that one
Thanks for plugging the GOOD Amico subReddit!
It makes me kind of sad to see Tommy's fall from grace. Some of the games he worked on legitimately are classics. His run on EP was also spectacular- he was a great counter to the other guy's straight laced persona.
I would buy an Intellivision.... original. A couple of the games (lock and chase being the main one, and I think Frogger, Space Invaders, Boxing, Tron, and the frog eating the flies game) I have as my first memories of gaming. I remember the inserts. I remember how everyone, kids, adults, Grandparents... everyone thought the games were so fun and cool.
We are almost 40 years later from that memory. We all carry devices that can play simple cute casual games now. The hdmi classic consoles have been released, the "best of" collections have been released for most systems over the last 2.5 decades... the nostalgia photocopying has been done and there's a billion places to play the games the Amico is going to try to recreate.
I'm 17:24 in, and I was hoping to hear Pat say "cornhole" a bunch. I don't think it'll happen. Ah well.
Ians reaction to Pat never seeing John Carpenters The Thing fully is very justified lol
I had a similar reaction. Mind blown.
So is the reaction to Ian never watching Big Trouble.
John Carpenter the thing is so good.
Indeed. Hopefully he has corrected this situation already 😛
What’s next...Pat never heard of the Wyld Stallyns ?!!!
That image of Pat smiling with the see-through mask is a meme waiting to be made 😆
“I was born in this mask. Molded by it.”
I'm completely envious of someone who gets to watch The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China for the first time. You're in for a ride.
Especially The Thing. Being it's a whodunit kind of movie and while it's great on rewatch you'll never get that incredible first experience not knowing who's the Thing and who isn't the thing. A lot of suspense is lost on repeat viewings.
I still havent watched BTLC....will now!
That is one hellvua movie.
Guess i gotta go watch the thing. Ironically i watched big trouble over and over as a kid, never saw the thing.
Was shocked to see Suikoden II bettween $400-$500. Parasite Eve II which I bought for $30 at a retail store in 2019 is now going for $200. Klonoa, Silent Hill, amazingly $100 is the lower end for pricey games on PS1, now many of the best ones are $200 plus. I'm still shell shocked, lol. I've started buying digital PS1 games on my PS3 which is something I never expected to be relegated to, but here we are 😄. Weird times.
Fake Tommy is one of the greatest things to debut on the podcast in a long time. May we get much more of him in the future.
I like wearing a standard mask because i have autism and don't want anyone to see my face or read my expression, because i get insanely self conscious when i notice anyone doing that. the normal mask makes things easier for me because people are more likely to leave me alone lol
Definitely another reason why I love the PS3 offers of PS1 Classics. It's too bad they stopped adding games, and increased the prices of games on there
I've been fortunate to collect for PS1 since I was a kid. Games going for hundreds of dollars now I picked up all for around $60 or less.
I'm not going to have to sell my immortal soul for a complete copy of Tales of Destiny 2/Eternia, am I?
@@MasterZebulin No, but perhaps a kidney or two
@@TheStrahl Goddammit.
The way Ian said "WHAT?" about seeing The Thing was so unexpected. I about fell out of my chair.
lmaooo
Also, early on I was “bullied” for wearing a mask. The guy said, “You don’t have to wear a mask...I am not sick!”
My response was, “I am not wearing this mask because I assume you are sick! I am wearing this mask because you assume that I am NOT sick!” (Turns out, I was sick)
I had same thing where a random woman came up and yelled at me for touchinh food on a plate i was carrying. I was like mam, its my food ill do whatever the fuck i want to it. She walked away, realizing it wasnt me serving someones food, i was just getting my own food. People are triggered and retarded
I'm gonna get the face mask that they introduced in the beginning of the video. I'm also gonna flex with the razer face mask when they release it lol
I saw the original Crash bandicoot for PS1 I bought Crash 2 & 3 I didn't buy 1 because I didn't have enough money for it I said I'd buy it later at the beginning of 2020 that game was $15 I went into that same store last week it was $60 my opinion it's insane for any game to jump that high in price in a year
$60?? That's a $25 game complete
@@davidstring8301exactly, yeah they tried to sell it for $60 I'm not making this up & as soon as I saw the price I put the game back the shelf and walked out I wasn't even giving them my business after that so I got home checked eBay I got a similar result and eBay doesn't help because you have sellers on there that have the mentality of "I'm not selling my game for what it's worth when I can sell it for more" so then they put up a listing for double what it's worth and people that Don't know what it's worth buy it and after a while the other sellers are going "they all sold theirs for double what it's worth we have to do it as well" and these game stores at least some of the ones I've been to they don't want to sell it for what it's actually valued at because they don't want someone to buy a game for $25 and flip it on eBay for $60 so they make it $60 but yeah it's only a $25 game and not only that but you can buy a digital version of the game for less than $10 and even get the crash n.sane trilogy for almost $40
@@xJC2x I definitely would not go back to a store that is up-charging a game by 100%+ of its eBay value. That's terrible
@@davidstring8301 I don't plan on going back there and yeah it's terrible that places have to do that
@@davidstring8301 update on that game store I caught them in the act they came out and admitted they price their games based off price charting & ebay they've had 2 Xbox series x consoles come in and they sell them at $700 because "price charting says it's worth that much"
I love Ian’s reaction to pat not having seen the thing.
Instant classic reaction.
I got diablo for ps1 for 40 bucks , i was disappointed i picked it up without a case. At your friend's at game zone in salem mass.
The other day i found it at another game store in the case for 200$$
My god.
I met Pat, i think he a nice guy, he looked like he was busy, and he went out of his way to get me one of his books, and signed it for me. Thanks for book Pat. It closet i be to owning complete NES collection =) also it helps alot find games i want to try on emulator.
Who knew not watching a movie would get ians biggest reaction in 10 years
This Contri vs Tallarico feud is getting out of hand, it's time for Pat to go back to the old country and marry a girl called Appollonia.
I can't imagine memorizing that script you guys probably had for the facemask ad with a straight face
Apparently there’s a Tim Atwood who is also running for mayor of San Antonio
We used to have an awesome Play & Trade store here locally that you could actually score good deals at every once in a while, and the workers while they were allowed to buy stuff that came in, there was a rule that they had to at least wait a single day before being able to buy the game themselves which was nice. They gave the game at least a single day out on the floor to give customers first stab at it.
I would have LOVED to work there as they got a pretty good employee discount on games there, and they'd often get in some pretty heavy hitters. It was by FAR the best game store we had around here and was WORLDS better than Gamestop, at least when it came to retro titles and systems. It's a damn shame that the store isn't around anymore. I really wish they'd come back.
The only "friendship" I can think of that's been compromised after the Amico thing is probably Rich from RTUSA? Or maybe that was because of the Diablo thing.
Either way, no big loss there lol.
My best non gaming thrift store find 3+ years ago at a salvation army found a 1 terabyte external hard drive still in box unopened for 5 bucks.
Hahaha PS1 games have BEEN expensive! It’s the best system ever so I understand!
Really? Over ps3 and SNES?
Ps2 I meant.😑
Problems like this is what $7 ps1 mod chips and a stack of CDrs are for.
I’ve had my PS collection since new. Disc games get trashed/ruined easily so i can see why prices will continue going up over time.
I hear that, it makes sense, but also I don’t really understand how the market got to the place it’s at. The 16 bit market definitely had gotten to weird too expensive places, but I don’t think like this. It’s crazy.
and @Adam J K -- I get that rarity can make a game more scarce, and people hoard them. So if you NEED this game yeah its probably harder to find. That being said - rare doesn't (or shouldn't) equal hundreds of dollars. Do you "need" it? Or do you want to point to your shelf to impress other geeks? Ha-ha. The Clay Fighters Blockbuster manual is my perfect example of this. People trying to get complete N64 collections feel the need to get this, and the freaking manual goes for hundreds. Its stupid. a terrible game.
Ill perform hobby sacrilege and be honest and say lots of these old games just arent that good by today's standards. Many weren't that good new! Lots didn't get bought at $60 when they were cutting edge tech, I waited for bargain bins ha-ha
"So Action comics is only worth 10 cents?" Could be a rebuttle to that, but its obviously not an equal argument. These game will also not ever hit the million dollar mark (they shouldn't). And they arent as influential, brittle, old, or rare. The market dictates, but man, Klonoa just isn't $1100 good.
Like paying $60, sure thats what it was new. Maybe a little more for rarity. Thats fair. But some of the prices are silly, especially when emulation exists (and no developer is making money off Pat selling a "disc only" of Klonoa at this point). I just sold 10 PS1 games to a guy for $1100. i need money so I'm happy. But I also just sold a box of 100 PS1 games to a young couple a few years back for $60. The games are not worth this much.
He was a rich collector (showed me his game room, damn) and he has cash; so its his money. But I wouldn't have paid that for these games. And nostalgia aside, most people arent buying them to play them, they are hoarding them or "investing". As a guy with lots of old games, some of these are hard to go back to. -- Playing Soul Reaver 2 on my BC PS3 and having to play 50 minutes until you hit a freaking save point argh. Id rather play on emulation in a lot of cases for things like save states. Id so love a PS2 classic so i could ditch my PS2 games at this point.
But yeah, i just had a guy want to buy PS2 Grandia Extreme off me. That should be $20. Its not a great game. But the stupid market says $90 CIB. I offered $80. So he was like "i cant justify that, I have to pass". Hes right. I wouldn't have spent $80 new at the time. At the same time if i can get $90 on ebay (and im not sure if hes a collector or flipper), i cant just give it away. I'm not stupid. And Im broke.
But I do think he just wanted it to play, and thats silly expensive to play that game now, which as a guy who is also more of an enthusiast like him than collector, that does suck.
its a weird time.
squidracerX well, at this point I’ve literally been priced out. Once in a while I’ll get something special (import shmups that haven’t moved in price for years) but for the most part I’ve got most of the shit I want, and you’re right, there are plenty of other ways to play whatever you want. I only have one computer and it’s pretty much dedicated to recording music, so I don’t like to mess around with downloading emulators and files from sites I don’t particularly trust...I know that’s like a grandpa thing to say, but that’s why I mostly have stuck to the physical media over the years. I have a pretty humble collection, and literally none of my friends care what games I do or don’t have lol. I don’t want to be buried in a tomb of plastic. Whether is albums (okay, yeah I have way too many of those) or video games. Plus I have just the right amount of games where I think I need to finish these before I buy anything else as it is. Hopefully the people who need it like you can benefit and make some money, and everyone else can fuck off. No reason anyone needs to pay 400 bucks for Suikoden 2, or even more for whatever the fuck. I’ve never spent more than 100 bucks on a game ever, and now that I’m getting to the point where i might have to actually start selling shit if I can’t find a job before september, if someone else wants to pay me more for some of this junk, then they are welcome to it when that day comes.
Omg, that was almost literally my reaction as well, but in voice went higher in pitch than mine did.
Pat, watch The Thing.
PS1 and PS2 have some expensive cult classic outliers, but the vast, vast majority, even very good games are still very cheap. It was honestly the last beacon of hope for cheap collecting to me, but now that's starting to shift to like Seventh gen being the worthless treasure trove of cheap ATM. Still by far the cheapest titles of each generation, because they sold the best.
People may or may not know this but Steven Tyler from Aerosmith real surname is Tallarico. And yes they are related.
I just went to my local game store in Phoenix yesterday, called Fallout games. They had an n64 game with no label and it was marked at 4.00$ and just said mystery game. It also had a blockbuster sticker on it. The manager said they never even checked to see what game it was. When i got home i put it in my n64 and it was Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine!!!! 100$ game for 4$. Sure the label is gone but id never have gotten this game other wise. I still cant believe it happened. I even kept the reciept! Thanks Fallout games! If you or anyone is in phoenix,az check them out!
I have the original Suikoden 2 case. Can't find my copy of the game to save my life.
Yay you finally did my voicemail!!!! Haha love the show you two, always love listening.
1:54 Ian can I please sample this and use it in a track? 😂
I sold a bunch of ps1 games a few years back to buy a PSVR. Dont regret it.... sort of. With a kid I has no time to play anything including the VR so it might have been nice to still have my "collection" (not a collection just childhood games) and they would have been worth more now
I only finally watched The Thing from 1982 last November. Not a fan of horror films usually but man it was tremendous. Pat absolutely needs to see it!
Ignore Ian, check out the "remake", which is actually a prequel (tells the story of the Norwegian science crew that the American crew found dead)
@@MeanMrMustard1 That is awful advice. The prequel was a hot pile of CG garbage all on its own, but watching it before the 1982 movie takes all of the fun, mystery and creepiness out of the entire experience.
@@GrandTheftRogue That dude just gave the absolute worst advice. lol
@@GrandTheftRogue I would recommend watching the original first, but one could watch the prequel first since it leads right into the original. I'm sorry you haven't been able to change your opinion but I said is true. The movie was trashed when it first came out, but since then some have come around to it and appreciate it more. That's a thing ya know. Learn to grow. Don't be an old stick in the mud.
I 🥰 Ian's robo-reads lolz
Oh hell, if they released an actual official Nintendo made Gameboy Mini handheld, it would sell like freaking MAD!
Especially, if they had the entire Gameboy, Gameboy color, and gameboy advance library on there.
I've been to the videogame Museum back in 2019 in texas you're gonna like it
I am amazed at how crazy prices on retro games have gotten. I think well over half the PS1 game releases shouldn't even be close to $100 since they were made in abundance.
Pat was on FIRE 🔥 this episode. Quote of the podcast..“I want to go to Frisco and see the Video game museum, THAT IS IF IM NOT BANNED, because of the Amico thing...LMAO LMAO - well done sir!
FM Towns Marty mini? This would be a cash cow!
Great Podcast. 🤘😄🤘
The Thing is one of the best films ever.
Maaannnnnn, I love Tallarico's music but his behavior is crazy.
Whats really crazy is how the some 3DS games blew the hell up - the Dragon Quest games, and dont get me started on the SMT games...
Sega Dreamcast mini console would sell hot cakes.
Pat still pissed about that Vectrex collection 😂
Got most of the ps1 games I want a few years ago, some of them expensive jrpgs.
Guess it's a good thing, just checked a few of them, I didn't know the prices had gone so bonkers.
Some games are still reasonable, got the oddworld games last week for $20 each, but if you haven't got a copy of tales of eternia of valkyrie profile by now for the ps1 you're probably never going to. Wow
So I AM going to have to sell my soul for a copy of Tales of Eternia, aren't I?
The price increase is plain bonkers, for PS1 games of all things. I'll stick with my RetroPie system and the PS1 games I loaded on there.
I compressed them to .chd format to save space. I was able to put all the expensive RPGs on there, along with other stuff.
this is why I installed an XStation on my PS1 recently, I own enough game and running out of storage so ODE/flash carts from here on out
Pat, you should look at the IGN middle east article about the amico. They say is has plenty of lag. And tommy went to the good reddit and Failed to do damage control.
LOL look @ poor Pat, all sour about his precious Vectrex collection that he missed out on.
My worst gambling memory was Blackjack on a Carnival Cruise. It was god awful! I lost like $600 bucks within a few hours, as they cut you off at a certain point which I was unaware of as well, and it was just an awful experience. Was by FAR the worst time I ever had playing Blackjack which I usually have good luck with.
I often play at the Dover Downs casino and usually do well, as it's 24/7 and they don't cut you off. Will often pull all nighters there where me & a friend will play for 12 hours straight. Good cards, cheap $5 per hand tables & cheap liquor keeps things going.
My best Texas Hold-Em memory was playing in a decent sized tournament at a real casino. Was a 60 dollar buy-in if I remember right, and I placed 11th overall out of 150 ppl. Would have done better too if the person I was all-in against hadn't caught a lucky card on the River to beat my pocket pair. I think he caught a straight on the river if I remember right. It was some bad luck too cus I believe only the top 10 ended up walking away with money, so I ended up just outside of the money. Sucked but was a good fun memory.
The remake of the thing is a prequel. Not really worth watching but it was interesting to see them attempt to line everything up with the original helicopter chasing dog opening.
The real message i got out the this is horde up all the good PS2 games. And clear out gamestop for PS3 and Xbox.
I´ve watched so many videos that now i´m naturally saying "all right IAN" to everybody., lol
Pretty cool seeing James shout out your book in the newest AVGN video. AVGN led me here, and you and Ian have become my go-to for gaming news, journalism, opinions or whatever. It’s been many years now, and it’s nice seeing that you guys are still cool. Probably my favorite three gaming people between the three of you.
I'd have capitalist casualties play my houseshow
That was literally the most animated and loud Ian had ever been lmao
Pat got me with the email prompts, too. I was checking my tabs for where the sound was coming from.
Poker stories.... while I am no pro by any means, I do consider myself "above average" when it comes to your weekend friendly get together holdem tournaments. Your average player doesn't bluff much, and if they do they kinda don't bluff into situations that make sense. Check, Raise, Check... like their hands got worse... when they almost couldn't have possibly gotten worse by that next card. They don't consider things like table position, chip stack, other players tendencies (if you know them already, or catch on fast enough)... making sure you don't do anything that gives you away... and so on.
A few of my favorite memories are some 1 in 100 type crap where I catch the one card I need for a big when. Last time I played poker it was dealers choice, last hand, stakes were high and I took down a $100+ pot where at that game the average pots were ranging $10-15.
Another was where I was playing in a casino in Pittsburgh at 10+ years ago, and I had a nut flush in which the two other people in the hand, who lost, chewed me out for not going all in. After back and forth for about 30 seconds I said "did you ever consider by NOT going all in, I actually wound up with more money in the pot"? The two guys look at each other, then look at me and go "why do you think that". I said "would either of you have called me if I went all in". They said no, of course. I said, ok... proves my point. I got an extra $20 out of each of you that I wouldn't have gotten if I went all in, and the board wasn't very strong. This is the best part... a pro poker player overhead me, came over and talked to me after the fact and told me that I played the hand exactly right. Had the board been strong, and I still had the nut hand... all in would have been best. It's all about the amount of chips you get into the middle and win... not about how many hands you win, or how flashy the wins are.
my local gamestore had an Action 52 come in and one of the employees snached it up hahahaha!
Those masks would make sneezing very disturbing
The" remake" is a prequel, and its decent, but the effects are CGI so there not nearly as awesome, but yeah they should have given it some kinda way to difference itself
I love that question about if guys who work at game stores take good games or not it was a great question with a great answer
I remember AWHILE ago, long before the pandemic, I ended up paying $80 USD for a pre-owned _Bust A Groove 2_ to replace a copy I bought new for $40 MSRP on release date. There were other situations where I paid more than I should have for games I bought over the years that were also not as popular and reached out-of-print status sooner than any other title that would've broken the Greatest Hits seller threshold.
The 2011 follow up The Thing movie was a prequel not a remake.
I bought tales of destiny for $50 3 years ago now it's $250-$300.
As long as its not tight on the head i get headaches fast
Those masks,..I mean c’mon guys! 🤭🤣🤣
I was lucky enough to pick up all the US Shooters and most of the RPGs and fighting games for the PS1 for relatively great prices. I really started collecting seriously around 2012ish,a nd mainly for PS1 and 2. I found a guy on FaceBook and he sold me a bunch of great key titles for like 20 each and he usually threw in some stuff for free. Im talking Einhander, Castlevania (the one with the X68000 port/remaster), a bunch of the Capcom fighting games. I did pay like 75 each for the Tales games for PS1, and I did pay $150 for Harmful Park and Zanac X Zanac for $60 - both CIB and ZxZ is nearly pefect(caught Disc Replay slippin). Now I wish I had a Japanese PS1 or 2 to play them. I mainly collected for both PS1 and 2 cuz there were so many great games and they were relatively cheap, especially compared to NES/SNES at the time, plus both of those emulate decently, where as PS2 really doesnt. Im sure its improved, but PS1 and up I really like to have real hardware.
I had to rewind it back when the guy at @7:06 said “Long time caller, first time listener.” 😆 was that a joke or an accident?
Thats an old call in radio show joke.
😂 that was me, and yes it was an intentional joke haha
@@UNDERGROUNDskateco Haha man nice! Thought it mighta been a slip up! Funny!
suikoden 2 is only going for $400 xD
Glad I downloaded it for .99 on the playstation network way back when
LOL I don't think Jellimask will be sponsoring Pat again anytime soon. He couldn't wait to get that "comfortable" mask off of his face.
The rise of PS1 prices is just the Nostalgia Factor moving to the next level. NES has been the Big Dog for a number of years. And that was fine! People that were moving into their thirties and forties were nostalgic about these games a decade ago and the people that had been into that hobby hit paydirt when the Nostalgia Wave hit.
The thing is....It's like a comic channel that focuses on Silver Age comics. It's a period where the comics that truly effected the modern age of comics jumped off! And you can go on about it for a long time. But, at some point, everyone has done it and it's played out. The audience starts to be people coming in that grew up on 70's Bronze Age comics. And if you keep beating that Silver Age horse to death, people will move on to someone that is coming along that talks more about Bronze Age comics.
NES is cool. It was the first console I bought myself and it's the one I stuck with the longest. They have a soft spot in my heart and I love hearing about them. The thing is, we're seeing a new group of people heading into their 30's and 40's and they grew up on the PS1. They've got disposable income and the things they want to reach back into their childhoods for are those games. So, now the prices are going to go up. And, for the NES people that are hating on the PS1 games and the price increase, it's just supply and demand. The same was, and still is, said about the NES collectors. "Who are these people and why are they spending so much money on stupid video games?" But, to NES collectors, they're not stupid games and the desire for that collection drives prices up. The same is happening to the PS1. Those people that grew up on them want them BAD! And they're willing to spend money on their collection! And, not to be disparaging to NES collectors, but with the PS1 being a disc game, it adds that level of collectability for finding good copies of not just the cases, but also of the discs themselves. I'll go on record as saying that I made a solid amount of money last year selling PS1 games myself! It didn't hurt that I was one of those people that kept all of the crap in the cases that came with them, so the stuff I was selling came with the manuals and original cases for the most part. I've sold NES and Playstation...And I've made a lot more money off of the PS1 games! As time passes, I suspect PS2 and PS3 games will be more like SNES games are to the NES collectors. Those games were more accessible, so the frenzy might not be as much as for the first edition console. Although, there are some of those PS2 games that bring a lot of cash. This might be mitigated to some degree, since Gamestop shoved PS2 down everyone's throat until they choked. But, I suspect this market is going to grow for a few years.
In closing, trends change. And if someone doesn't change with them, they're going to be left behind. PS1 is on the rise! NES is always going to have a market. But people are looking to get into a new collectable. You can only go on about Jekyll and Hyde so much. Now they want Lara Croft. Well, maybe not so much. But Silent Hill? Yeah.
Actually....I read the whole thing! 🤯 and I agree. That whole BIT era seemed to always have high prices. Outside of playstation 1&2, RPGS and your survival horror games. Saturn, N64, gamecube, dreamcast games kept a high price. But now by the number games on ps1&2 like your crash, or twisted metal going for more than 40$ is ridiculous.
@@gjergjaurelius9798 When I sold most of my collection, I was shocked for how much most of my PS1 games went for! Most of the RPG's went for around $100. I mean, I'm happy to make someone else happy. But I figured I might get ten bucks. I was struggling to get that for most of my NES games. IN BOX! Crazy stuff!
I agree, Cheddars is freaking awesome.
It makes me happy that Ian has at least a cursory understanding of Powerviolence/Fastcore. Love me some capitalist casualties.
The Thing is one of the best sci-fi horror films ever. The "remake" is actually a prequel, and not too bad. It was trashed when it first came out but it has since become a cult hit of its own. They are great to watch back to back, either original first then prequel or vice versa.
Ian's reaction...Lol!
I refuse to buy anymore ps1 or ps2 games. They’ve absolutely more than doubled in the last year
Granted, there are some that have always been pricey. I did recently buy some import games that have basically been the same price more or less for years (cave games and the like) but come on. 100 bucks for silent hill? 300 for Suikoden 2? I’m just so happy the PS3 store isn’t closing, because it’ll save physical space and a shit ton of money.
@@opaljk4835 hey I read your comment and took a peak, they have gradius v! Thanks for saving me 80 bucks bro
camel dog no problem! They unlisted R Type Delta at some point, that one I’m kind of bummed about. But I’m really trying hard to appreciate what I have and getting good at some of the shmups I love. Plus going through some beloved rpg’s and whatnot
$200 for the disk only?
Sell it ASAP before people get common sense back
Honestly that kind of thing makes me hesitate to sell because I'd be afraid it might be double in just a year!
I'm pretty convinced I fucking hate mortal Kombat but I don't want to sell 2 or 3 on Saturn, because than I'd be stuck with the gen version if I ever wanted them back.
It's really sad, I used to have a ton of respect for Tommy. He's really dumped his career on such dumb pettiness.
I think another reason you aren't going to see an N64 classic is that the original NES classic was just a stop gap product in the twilight days of the Wii U for Christmas 2016. They made a single small run and clearly didn't expect it to be as popular as it was. The SNES classic was also a padding product in case the Switch ended up with a slow start for 2017.
The Switch turned out to be a mega success so they can just direct their customers to the paid online service if they want to release N64 games. They just don't really have a reason to make these one off retro consoles anymore.
I dunno bout all that.... The Genesis Mini and PC Engine Mini came after the Playstation Mini.
Dam Ian. I would of loved a 4 track recorder pickup for cheap. I got mine not too long ago from FB marketplace with drum loops built in
I'm not really a re-seller but I do sell games to buy other games I would rather play, around 3 months ago I had a fairly big ps1 collection maybe 85-90 games from my childhood til now, but when I started seeing how much certain games I owned like Digimon World 1, Marvel Super Heroes, Wild Arms 2 were all selling for 70 plus, hell even random games like Bugs Bunny Lost in Time & ECW Anarchy Rulz are 30 dollar games I knew it was time to sell. This market is insane currently PS1, Gamecube, Original DS, WiiU and others are all at a crazy height right now, Im currently looking to boost my Xbox 360 & 3ds collection with my PS1 earnings as I feel there are many gems for a decent price still and Ive barely scratched the surface.
@6:55 that’s my boyfriend 💕🤞🏾!!! He loves you guys!!! We’ve watched a couple of y’all’s videos together!!! 😀
WOW!
Remember when they were like "Man, I love Tommy. I'm not sure the Amiico is a good idea, and I have some questions, but I wish him well," but now (apparently accurately according to things I've seen) he's "a pig."
That's the closest I've seen Pat & Ian get to going "too far" about this shit.
I hope the mini market is over! If the 64 mini comes out I'm so scared for the retro market
gamecube is waaaay to expensive right now too
Never wearing or buying that mask unless its Holloween.
I would love to work at a game store for 6 months, just to get the games I had as a kid and the ones I want to play again.
He sounded like special Ed from crank yankers
that jelli mask gonna look dirty af after 20 mins
Next they'll take advantage of The California Raisins
🤦🤦🤦
Pat and ian should film a commentary for the thing
Check out prices on future cop for ps1
You guys laugh, but I'd *love* a Beetleborgs game
You talk about Balloon Fight 99 and nobody makes the joke about 99 Red Balloons
Lol
I wish somebody competent would get a hold of the Globetrotters licenses and make a decent game. NBA 2k but with comedy trick shot whimsy and zero micro transactions.
I’m happy about the price increase. In fact, I was counting on it.
