whew man did prices go up ! still, good buy. that saves alot of time and money on finding those seperately. me, im not so much into the collecting anymore..that was in 03 with my old VB :(… now im just waiting for the flashboy 🙂
Congradulations ! sounds like a good buy to me. not too pricey and those are some fun games. now all you need to hold you off for a while is Wario Land.
my god…that brings a tear to my eye man. you couldnt of said it better and im in 100% agreement but now, the public has to wait on the flashboy unless u want to play SD:G on red dragon.
i just dont understand why its any different for VB. People dump and release roms of ER games on a bunch of other systems. Those games have been fetching the same prices forever.
i dont feel that the VB community is large enough to the point that dumping the games would make a big splash. yet when the flashboy is released, it will be easily (i guess) obtainable, lessening the amount of $ needed to play a dump of say Virtual Bowling. this, in turn, MAY depreciate the value, but i doubt it will be significant.
i sold my original VB collection in 2003 for a little over 400$. my collection was far more vast than it will ever be again. looking at the rate prices are going up and down on ebay, if i sold the same collection today, it would probably go for times and a half that much, yet all of the games i owned are dumped and had been dumped back then as well. the market is changing rapidly, therefore prices go up and down rapidly in my eyes. ex: Panzer Dragoon Saga was obtainable for around 100-200$ about 3-4 years ago. now its considerably more rare to win it for less than 200$ at auction. yet this game has been dumped since not long after the saturns end. the economy and interest in certain games is pretty unpredictable..
the roms on vb emus are nonsense as you dont have anything remotely like the true experience except for the fact that your playing the game minus sound, controller, 3D effect, etc.
i think thats a good idea to wait for when flashboy is released. we should then begin to give more serious and organized attention to this matter.
