    Hey ! I am the developer of Test Drive Unlimited 2 ! I was at the head of cars graphics, cars game designs, physics , car sounds and a lot of other things. I’m really glad and honored to see that 10 years later people still love this game. Back in 2012, game critics did not see what i’ve tried to achieve in making it. But now that TDU 3 is announced, i’m seeing everywhere that in facts, people were loving it and still play it ! I love you all guys !

    My local GameStop have taken all of the 360, PS3, Wii, and Wii U games off the shelves already. They said that they’re going to keep them in stores for the time being, and that you can ask for a list of what games they have from the counter and they will print it out for you. They also have said that they are going to only display the top 200 games in sales in the future. Anything else you will have to ask the counter whether they have it or not. Kind of kills the browsing for used games...

      I would not agree on that from a collector's perspective:
      Even if a game is for free if you have to find a place for it and you typically don't play the game or only play it once, there is no reason to buy it.
      Buying something that you don't want for yourself, just because it is cheap takes away one copy of the game for someone who might be looking exactly for that game.
      E.g. That hello kitty game.
      MGR will probably not play this and got a lucky find on that.
      But if there is any WiiU collector going for a complete physical collection around Seattle he well be pissed to know that game is now rotting in MGRs shelves...
      Picking up every game just because it is cheap is just hoarding!
      Because even if you re-sell the game later you will probably sell it for more than you paid. Which is then a scam...

      If that is a dirt cheap shovel ware title I happen to like that's fine.
      But For me collecting is about passion.
      And having/buying a game just to own it and never use/play it or even enjoy it is not a part of collecting for me.
      I do get that there is a lot of different approaches and oppions on this, but I wanted to make a point that there CAN be harm in just buying games just because they are cheap.
      It would be nice if people at least keep this in mind when doing game hunting in the wild...

    Hey MJ, the case with “XBOX ONE” & “XBOX 360” at the top actually came out when they were touting 360 backwards compatibility for the Xbox one as a selling point. They didn’t make many of them though. I have the RedDeadRedemption and GTA 4. They were definitely rare to find. Also last year they made these mini Xbox one cases that were also rare. They were essentially a case with code in it but they came with a collectors coin in each. So keep an eye out for those too.

    I've been doing this myself though I've mostly been focusing on PS3 games. These stores are pretty much just giving them away and it gives me the chance to not only bulk up my PS3 collection but also check out some of the big exclusive games I missed back then (due to not having a working PS3 until early this year).

      Probably because he repeatedly said he didn't know anything about this or that... when he could've quickly researched it before recording. I still gave a thumbs up, but I imagine some of the downvotes were annoyed with that.

    Honestly, the thing that makes me cringe the most is knowing that Gamestops everywhere are going to have to find space for the PS5 and Series X games. They refuse to get rid of the useless popculture knick knacks nobody wants to buy so they're just going to make the 360, PS3, Wii and Wii U games go the way of the Dodo. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just chucked the games in the dumpster, I remember my buddy demanded that we go dumpster diving after they got rid of the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube games....and he was right because holy fuck there were a shit-ton of games they just threw in the trash, not even terrible games, I always tell people I got into the Kingdom Hearts series thanks to a dumpster.

    When everyone zigs - you gotta zag! Always great advice if you're looking to build up a collection at home, and with backwards compatibility on XB1 & Series X grab those 360 titles now 👍

    Those 360 xbox one cases are 360 games that have since been made back compat on xbox one. Been watching quite a lot of your vids lately as I'm thinking of getting a wii collection and like the idea of collecting games. Great vid!

    That Skate 3 case, I see those all the time when I go to Walmart and check out the games section. I think they're doing it to a bunch of games that are back compatible. I have a copy of Oblivion that's in that style case and I actually love it lol
