[Classic] Old games are great, don't forget

I've started quite a collection of PS2 games (~280 so far) and I see so many people just brush by the giant bins of "old" PS2 games because they either can't stand the graphics or need to have only the absolute latest games.

This week (Buy 2, get 1 free on used games) I'm slowly working my way up and down each bin and shelf and usually walk out with a hefty stack of games. There are so many forgotten gems that just go by the wayside.

Wow, you really have 280 PS2 games? I'd love to see some pictures of that.

I'm really fussy with my collection. Unless I absolutely love the type of game, and game itself, I won't buy it. That said, I have about 60 Japanese PS2 games, 20 American ones, and somewhere in the single digit figure of PAL ones. I've always preferred older games, and the newer ones I don't usually get around to trying or playing until they're about 3 years old.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh, just kidding, don't you hate it when people say that?

I ran out of room in the main shelf so I had to start replacing rows of my DVD collection with games. I have more shelves of those. Some of the games are blocked by my PS3 games/Blu-Ray on the second shelf (left) and bigger game boxes (like Growlanser and such) on the bottom shelf.

Holy shit, PS3 games! I always thought they were a myth until now.

In any case, nice collection, despite the fact that you're never going to end up completing all of them. But, how much did SMT: Nocturne and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence LE cost you? Nocturne sells for $80-100 on eBay, and the MGS3 LE sells for $120-60 too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
