This is the same thing that tidaldreams posted twice on this forum a week or 2 ago of the Bioshock Infinite 9.8 A++ HA listing sold $1,000. Then scores of ebay listings started disappearing and those "investors" will send them off to Wata or HA then Wata. $_$ makes pple do crazy things. Gears of War sold more than $14,000 USD. Ok, so this dude is just flooding the market with 9.8 A++ Bioshock 1's. He has another one in the upcoming signature auction 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shed some light on it? I actually know the guy who hoarded Dinosaur Peak, he owns a store near me.

I have a lot of these sealed. I still can't believe they've increased in value so much. I never really played my 360 games because it was a junk console. I really only bought it for Tales of Vesperia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am not the only one but I have a tendency of buying games thinking I will play them later while I am hooked on another game and they end up in my backlog pile, where it sits there years and years. That is how many of my platform collections begin. Hmm that reminds me of when I purchased a PS4 console to play the last of us remastered game. Great story. Never got around to playing the 2nd.

That's basically my PS3 library. I only bought the system for the download-only Wizardry game. I honestly can't remember the last time I fired it up...it's more or less just a dust collector.

I've never had one that didn't. I dunno, luck I guess. One failed after a 48 hour Morrowind run (yes, an OG Xbox title killed my first 360), but Microsoft went so far as to send me a box to ship the console to them, postage paid, and got me a replacement, which I still use to this day. Also have another one I bought from a friend so they didn't get ripped off at EB. 7 minutes ago, tidaldreams said: I only bought them because they were dirt cheap I honestly can't remember any 360 game I paid over $20 for, except the aforementioned Vesperia. Same with me for the PS3. Went to a local everything store, and they were getting out of electronics. Snagged a ton of PS3 games, which I still have. Like 4 in every 5 games I own are still new for the PS3...the rest were either bought used or were one of the half dozen games I played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since WATA doesn't grade PS3 it is clear which was the better investment That console was really good for blu-rays, never had to buy a standalone player because of it. The switch from DVDs to Blu-ray would've been much slower if it couldn't play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first Elder Scrolls game my friend got me hooked into was Oblivion. As much as I liked Skyrim more. I sunk more than a 1000+ hours across multiple playthroughs in Oblivion because my first console got RROD. I remember the first time I learned how to use lock pick, all I wanted to do was go to every persons home and steal haha. Another time I met Sheogorath in Shivering Isles. I found him to be annoying. So I punched him and later regretted it. Edited September 10, 2021 by AnimalHouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, seeing as Spiderman has been on a twenty year upswing in popularity since the first movie came out, whereas Superman's movies have been pretty suck in the same time period. I'd pick Spidey over Supes for sure, although I still like Batman better than either of em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
