Hey folks, r/gamecollecting is/was one of my favorite subs, so I would love to see a community for it here! Let’s start building this space with an easy question for discussion: what’s your favorite console to collect for?
Personally, I really enjoy collecting for Xbox 360. Games are inexpensive and easy to find, there are lots of good exclusives, non-exclusives tend to be similar or better for the 360, and the controller design is simply excellent. My favorite game so far is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. It has some issues, but it’s generally a fun and engaging game.
Which console do you prefer collecting for and why?
Good choices. Do you find games for either in the wild where you’re at, or do you pay retail?
Unfortunately where I moved to not much is in the wild like where I used to live. So I’ve resorted to relying on sales for Switch games and pay the dreaded eBay prices for GameCube games that I REALLY want. I decided that with the prices of GameCube games I will only buy the ones I absolutely have to have in my collection rather than bring a completionist.
I feel that. I’ve only grabbed GameCube games once out here on craigslist, and I sometimes get a good deal on switch games at pawn shops.
