I used to be a FF collector as well during the PSOne era. I would get the Kotobukiya Squall, Rinoa, the 4 disc OST of FFVIII, Japanese and US versions of FFVII, VIII and IX. But as time went on, I expanded my view of games and moved more towards action games like Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry. Now changed taste towards FPS which don't have much in terms of collectibles outside of guns/Titans.

Was a collector of Disney Infinity until they discontinued the game and now just trying to dig for the remaining figures cheap.

Anyways, while I like to collect stuff. The one thing that's keeping cost down is simple. I only focus on R1 games (or NTSC/UC). I would look up rfgenerations and check the serial number and if it doesn't correlate with the US version of PS games I don't buy. I get most of my games digitally when they go on sale. So my physical collection focuses more on games that stood out to me. Like the PS3 Uncharted Trilogy + The Last of Us, Souls + Bloodborne series, Vanillaware games, Platinum Games, Ninja Theory, etc.

I rarely collect Deluxe or Collector editions because I'm a bit OCD that when I put the cases on the shelves they look the same. Same with my books, all HP from the same collection, GoT with US price tag and similar design. I was a bit peeved that Uncharted 3 has R-All for the US version of the game and wish I could change it. Same with Shadow of the Damned that has English + French of the cover but is R1.

So I'm just OCD is all.

Well, to me most of these are considered limited edition to me. Cause not many stores bring in US versions of games just whatever is the cheapest.

Like I mentioned before I'm a bit OCD so in terms of limited editions, the furthest I would go for is Day 1/Deluxe/steelbook editions. Reason being space and cost. Back in hometown I got the GoW3 Pandora's box and Dragon Age: Origin wooden box case that made it difficult to display/arrange. But since moved out from the comfort of having attic to myself to a 100 sq ft room. Some sacrifices have to be made. The Dark Soul I got is from the Steelbook edition, but because displaying together with the rest causes it to look weird. Sent the box back hometown for storage.

Also unemployment and got my money cheated means I couldn't get the Deluxe edition of FFXV "R1" that would have arrived at my doorsteps now. But alas, such is life.

Hmm, deep bro. Am sorry to hear about your recent loss.

Nevertheless, I might have spoke too soon. Sometime OCD and those black labels PS3 can at times be vintage collector's items, over time. We are here to share loots and hobbies over similar interest anyway. Thanks for sharing your share of collection/collector's item bro thumbsup.gif

It's ok thumbsup.gif

Actually, I'm targeting these. From my point of view, I see the deluxe editions/collector's editions as a bit of just building hype. These games are that on sale on this website are the truly limited editions because they are not made in the millions like how the big budget games are. They are made in the thousands and once sold out no more are made. I see them as, if you're a toy collector, these are the limited edition statues while deluxe/collector's are the Hot Toy's 12 inch figures but at a cheaper price.

Side story: Also why I think some games are limited is because of this conversation I had with a few friends of mine about what happens to games that are not sold. Did you realize that you're not seeing old games in videogames shops anymore (in the US or UK stores like Gamestop)? We found out that the reason was that those game shops will send the unsold games back to the publishers and depending on the publisher what they might do is destroy or recycle the old games to save cost on the new games. Which is why we don't see like landfills of E.T in this day and age. Because discs are so easily destroyed and digital is becoming more prevalent, publishers most of the time look at physical copies and said screw it, not gonna pay for a warehouse to keep all these unsold games, we have digital and Steam (or in the case of Ubisoft/EA, they have their own stores), recycle them all. End of side story.

For me, it started very young. All the way back in the PS1 era, maybe even Sega Genesis era. I had been reading gaming magazines from the US back then like Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, etc. So in my mind were all these US games that I wanted to play and when I went to my friend's house to play his SNES, I saw it was the Super Famicom and he was playing Rockman X. Megaman X is one of my most favorite game even to this day and I personally cannot call Megaman, "Rock"man. Besides translations and naming, the second thing that irks me all the way to the PS3 era was the TV signals. NTSC/PAL. My TV when I was younger didn't have a PAL setting, so whenever I played PAL games made the colors look weird. So when FFIX and Ace Combat 3 were only sold in PAL version... (pirated, I mean) I was super pissed that I could not play FFIX in color. Everything was black and white or washed out pink. So even when I was younger I vowed to focus only on NTSC/US games, I bought Metal Gear Solid 2 and FFX in NTSC/US before the PS2 started getting pirated games. It was both a region lock thing and to make sure that I got the US version and it would look ok on my TV. If I started gaming today, then I wouldn't mind too much. Cause it's HDMI and the picture all comes out the same.

Jumping closer to today, I started with R1 games because of course they were the US version, following my previous line of thinking. But also because early in the PS3 life, there was no Malaysian store or things like that. So I bought all my games on the US PSN Store because games came out first there most of the time and because of region lock on DLC. Cost-wise also, I can get the games on the PSN store and Play-Asia cheaper because they go on sale more frequently. Most of the time cheaper than the second-hand people will sell here. I rarely buy games on the first day, maybe a year or two later. So by the time I buy them, the price would have gone down a lot while second-hand sellers will want to retain the cost of what they paid and keep prices high.

Then even more recent is because of censorship. Some might argue that US gets the most censorship in terms of fan-service and the whole feminist cancellation of games, see: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3. But after the introduction of CERO in Japan a few years ago, Japan is one of the most strictest in terms of censorship. Followed very closely by Australia and Germany. If you don't include harm coming to children and underage fan service, US games on average actually retain the most content compared to all the other countries.

So by ranking, I buy only R1 because of
1. My OCD to have everything look the same
2. Cost
3. My PSN account and DLC + Trophies
4. Censorship

Truly, I believe it's an OCD thing. Wanting to keep things relatively same or similar. But the other reasons are there for me as well. I would also get Japanese games but their cost is prohibitive. Especially their anime blu-rays. So for now, until I get a super high paying job and not just peanuts. I just focus on R1/US games and movies.
