What system do you have the largest/smallest physical collection for?
>>
>>722538341
largest switch, smallest PC
>>
>>722538341
Are those custom spines or something?
My biggest complaint with Switch titles are the uniformity of the spines for finding what I want to play.

Oh. PS2, probably. I do have a big box of PC games shoved away somewhere and it might be bigger than the PS2 stuff but I haven't opened that box in like.. 10 years at least.

Wii. I think I only have 2 games for that and one of them was a rental game my friend brought over and never picked it up to return. Switch is a hot second, I have 3 games for that and one of them was purchased by an internet buddy so I'd play with him.

Tiddies unrelated, I just like them.

Biggest is Gamecube, smallest is PS4 with only one game (that Kingdom Hearts collection that included nearly everything before 3). GBA is pretty close behind Gamecube, though.

>>722538576
Yeah, there's a subreddit that makes them and even takes requests if they missed a game. You just have to print them out yourself. I don't normally use that shitty website but the Switch Spines subreddit is pretty nice.

Switch. Still regretting that one every time I get to thinking about it. I dunno what got me into it. Not like I wasn't around for the garbage they have been pushing for the last 15 years.

Due to space, I have them 3 rows deep. so it's what you see times at least 3.

Absolutely based.
I disliked the anime/manga Attack on Titan but loved the game, it capitalized on the fights, the only thing I liked about the show.

As a collector, I honestly can't recommend getting into the retro scene at this point in history. Scalpers gonna scalp.
> right now i just play burnt discs
You're better off that way. But if you ever have huge wads of disposable income, then go nuts. I'd recommend Soukyugurentai Otokuyo the most.

Oh right, a preemptive happy birthday to you as well, sorry. I hope you have a great 25th.

>>722547486
How many do you even play? I just kinda estimated the number of games and assumed you got your switch day one. And I'm spreading things out evenly but that would be a new game every 3 days. Not impossible and I'm sure you're buying them in groups, but to get them all played you've only really got 3 days to dig into any one of them. So if you got breath of the wild and played it for a week that's 2 games you gotta cut out.
>>
>>722538341
Largest: PC, by far.
Smallest: PS2 and PSP, with one for each system.
I got this titles by a mistake of the vendor, returning them was way expensive, and so he let me keep them in exchange of getting the games I actually wanted for free once I placed a new order with other titles.
I don't even have a PSP. At least I could dump the PS2 game, but the PSP game is a fucking paperweight as far as I'm concerned.

When you grow up, you'll understand that the best thing about a collection is curating it and keeping only your personal 9s and 10s in your home. Stop being a comsoomer, you're not impressing anyone.

I have one single PS3 game and I have that one because when the first version of PS3 jailbreak came out you needed a real game in the console in order to launch another game from HDD.
I have like 10 Switch games, just exclusives I like. Might get a few more of those eventually.

I'm primarily a PC guy, but I had no money for legit PC games during the PC physical release years so all I've got from back then are stacks and stacks of burned CDs and DVDs and like <5 legit games (and my parents threw away the boxes when I was a kid).

>>722541102
You should be concerned if you have things which are effectively irreplaceable. If you have the money (and insurance) you can buy another house, furniture, appliances, electronics and so on but if you have a large collection of shit that's not easy to find anymore you'll probably never get it all back again.

Nintendo DS x 1
Not gonna count the rest since I have stuff stored and I'm too lazy

>>722538341
PS3 probably, it was the main console I had when I got my first job. I own way more 3DS games, but a bunch of those are digital copies.
Now I buy mostly digital, I think my last physical purchase was SMTV.

to people who have over 100+ games

Largest, Sega Genesis. It was my nostalgia console from when I was a kid. I bought a whole bunch of Genesis games like 15 years ago when you could get them real cheap off Ebay. I've probably got like 60 Genesis games.

>>722538481
Same. 90-something for Switch and some number between 5 and 10 for PC.
>>
I hate this thread. I just started selling my switch collection.
One thing about the Switch is that collecting is a lot of fun. There are so many special editions or big box editions that regardless of your favourite genre there is something nice to buy and display.

The Switch 2 has been boring so far.

I sold most of my collection this year and got everdrives/ODEs or just modded my systems. Honestly I just used the money to max out my IRA contributions for a few months and to buy a few rare black metal albums from discogs. I got to the point where I don't care about the physical objects, just having an offline device to play games on, which is piss easy to do with mods and everdrives.
>>
>>722568631
Collectors don't want to admit it but the only two advantages of physical are:
>Can be used as a form of decoration
>Resale value/speculation
>>
>>722569520
All my consoles are homebrewed so I can install my physical media to the internal memory. My physical cartridges or discs are offline installers. I get the best of both worlds: ownership (that allows to resell if the game is not up to my expectations, and yes, speculation if the price goes out of orbit and I feel I prefer the money over the game) and the comfiness of digital (jump between games without changing catridges/discs). So physical wins, always. You have to be seriously mentally retarded to pay, most of the time *more* money, for a digital product if the physical exists and you know your tech.

>You have to be seriously mentally retarded to pay, most of the time *more* money, for a digital product if the physical exists and you know your tech.
I'll never blame someone buying a game from GoG or something, but people out there spending $70 on a digital license when they know damn well the physical that you actually own will be available for cheaper in a few months baffle me

Nintendo. I stuck on PC forever because of piracy so it's not like this is gonna change ever, PC gets everything nowadays. I bought a Switch 2 and already bought several games for it.

I'm 36 and never owned a single physical copy of anything. I've been pirating for my whole life (since mid 90s), and then I started using Steam parallel to that. If you count me burning my pirated .iso files to CDs and DVDs in the 00s then there's your answer.
