[XBOX] Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack Arrived!

Hi gamers and collectors!

So lucky to pick this pack up, really was. Not that it's really rare, but it's sure pricey around $45-$50 around the world of eBay. I did spot the pack at some Cash Converter stores for the same price. So exactly how much did I get this for? $20.50, I know I was surprised myself. -- I thought, too good to be true right? It took ages to arrive, even games from the UK arrived beforehand. So I started to get worried and thought I landed into another trap, thankfully it was just a miracle deal which happens a few times in a collector's life...

Condition, condition, condition it's all about the condition for a collection. So since the pack is cardboard it's dented in a few places, and squashed in the some corners but nothing serious and it's rather good for cardboard pack and it's age. Just look at how shiny the foil finish is!!

The contents on the other hand are spotless, manuals, posters and the DVDs oh so nice! Not perfect, but nice. ^^

XBOX version of both games are a lot better than the PS2 port in so many ways, lighting, detail, framerate and personally, the sound is a lot more sharper. I played the PS2 version of Vice City for so many hours while I had no worries, truly brings back so many memories seeing this on my TV again :3

Big deal, you can see the camera... XD

More games to come, see you there!

Playstation 2 hoarding and the death of Platinum titles.

Hi gamers!

In the past 2 weeks I've been looking around for Playstation 2 games, I never really used to since the Playstation 2 wasn't exactly my favourite systems. The reason to this sudden craze is that many stores are now trying to clear out every Playstation 2 game that's in stock, I've managed to pick up two games one for $11 (which was Burnout 3) and one for $14 (which is Capcom vs SNK 2 I happen to buy that today). Also looking at the websites for these stores many games are around the single digit price.

As usual Platinum games are something I see a lot and just push to the side, because no body really collects them and usually they're patched versions and way more common than "black labels". I have a total of 3 Platinum titles in my collection for Playstation 2, and really I wasn't collecting at that age, Platinum titles are going to be the death of me that's all I can find usually ><.

Since Playstation 2 is becoming a clearance state might as well start hoarding them in, I'm getting pretty nice titles for $5-$20 complete and black labels. I might also grab a Playstation 2 slim for around $50 if I find one in store. If you're a collector as well, and many stores are starting to clear out the Playstation 2 it's a good time to start buying titles you've missed out on.
