3do topic

[grimm]

this is absolutely not true at all. go to ebay.com and you'll find almost any 3do game fro 10$ or around that complete in box. games like road rash or need for speed even cheaper.

Yeah and we all know how representative ebay is for actual pricing, dont we.... I didnt say you can never find a deal online, but i stand by my comments, which are backed by collecting 3DO for 15 odd years. If you are happy with a "complete" boxed game which looks like its been through war, sure you may find a NFS copy for $10 or less, but if you want one that looks somewhat decent or better you will need to double that at least. As of this moment on ebay, you are looking at $27+, and that copy isnt even pictured. for road rash we are looking at $17+. (couple of japanese editions for less). To elaborate i was refering to complete US longbox games. If you are happy with just a jewelcase you might get those a little cheaper i suppose.

But go ahead, tell people im not telling the truth, i just cant see why i WOULD lie about it. I would love to buy complete games in good condition at $10 or less.. If you find more deals on great games, feel free to share them with me, id love to expand my 3DO collection with cheap good games in good complete condition.

here. see many games around 10$ mark. also if you;ve been collecting for 15 years there's no excuses as you could get the best deals. don't bother with overpriced buy it now auctions. but you will find some good ones between them. especially when you are doing this for 15 years.

Like i said, been refering to LONG BOXES, in good condition. And besides, most games on ebay.nl are evidently definetly more expensive than $10... Especially the long boxes.

[bultje112]

long boxes are just the usa versions. regular cases are pal versions or sometimes also usa versions.

[grimm]

Im aware of that.. Im done arguing with you. Good bye.

Looks to me like the only expensive thing with 3DO collecting is the system itself. And what I mean by that is that there's tons of cheap games that look all right. I'll pick one up when I find a cheap one on Craigslist or ebay.

Yeah, and then you get serious about collecting, and you start looking at $200-300 or upwards 1500 for certain titles and rare accessories. Trust me when i say that collecting for the 3DO is not "cheap". Just because some very common games are "cheap", does not mean that it is cheap to collect for the system. Its far cheaper to collect for the Genesis.

That said, you should definetly pick one up if you find one that fits your budget for a 3DO console, its well worth it.

I can play "backups" on it too right?

Yes, but that's not collecting.

Hey, I like to try before I buy. Is that so wrong?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that, thats how I figure out which CD32 games to buy. Just pointing out that the conversation at hand was about collecting.

You should note that there is no region lockout on the 3DO, save for games which need certain japanese characters not built into the US or PAL machines. So, if you're not going out of your way to pick up long boxes, then by all means feel free to import from europe if it winds up being cheaper. I find that, usually, shipping negates a lot of sick deals I get from europe, though.

dude. just get away. you are full of shit and unless you state me in which weird universe you collect for 3do your words fall on deaf ears. I have posted the ebay link that is the same for everyone and the games are cheap. only the system costs you some. the most expensive 3do game is some rpg that costs 80-100. go collect for saturn and neo geo and then you know what expensive is

At least according to Wikipedia the only Japanese 3DO games that don't work on US/European systems are Twinkle Knights (some adult game), a demo version of Alone in the Dark and Sword & Sorcery, the original Japanese version of Lucienne's Quest.

I don't think you might be missing much.

of course not. burn whatever you like. gaming should be about gaming before collecting. I always tell all people if you don;'t want to spend the money on it fine. just burn it if you can. as long as you can play it, it's fine
