I got 5 games - not all shit - for £17.50 on PS3 from CEX last weekend.

£17.50! And I’ll probably play them for longer than the grand I’ve spent on AES+ shit.

What the fuck am I doing falling for this AES+ hype.

Agreed, removing those ugly ass Cex stickers are equivalent to a couple of hours of gameplay by itself

I’ve got hours of fun as well installing each of the 21 updates to GT6 as well, one at a time or the game bugs…
oh my god, I forgot all about it, GT6 install and update process suuuuuuuucks

jailbreak your PS3 and put in Gran Turismo 4 after you get tired of 6's bland ass campaign, you'll have a better time.

I hope that you updated the hard drive to a faster model and used an ethernet cable. The stock Wi-Fi and HDD on the PS3 are slogs.

they deserve to pay those prices for those common ass games
I bet a good chunk of such sales are content creators. Game purchases are tax write-offs so even a mid level YouGoober is going to be less concerned with price paid. And let's be honest, these are generally not high IQ individuals.

RR7 is the last great RR, got it at launch or pretty near launch, amazing game. GT6 is imho too the least great of the saga. It has an incredible amount of cars and had some of the best Ayrton Senna content I've ever seen in a game. The rest...flip them over to fund an AES+ cart :P

In a year or so, after the goobs realize that neo geo isn't THAT great and alot of the stuff has aged badly, you will be able to pick these things up for a quarter of the original price.

Yes, but also 5 years after that they will start going for retarded money like the Neo Geo X is now doing

You’re joking, I could setup “Jockman Gamez” and tax write off my shitty games purchases? That’s mad.

It also explains how some of these retards have such big games collections and yet know so little about the medium.

I don't want to look for it on ebay because I know its going to ruin my day.

Gooooooobs!!! :mad:

While you're looking at NGX eBay sales, also take a look at recent sales of the recently discontinued 8Bitdo Neo Geo CD pad. lulz. Should have 'invested' in a hundred of them when they were under $20.

Some newgoobers see the walls and walls of carts of various youtubers and then also want to amass a large collection like that as quickly as possible, which is always a surefire recipe for financial ruin and endless frustration.

It's like a drug, the high of scoring a long-wanted item is followed by withdrawal symptomes which can only be remedied with hunting down another collectible. Always on the look-out, always hunting, never truly happy.

Seriously, I wish they (I mean the people really in the know) communicated more about it.
Everyone is filling the gaps, then filling the gaps left by the previous rando's fantasies on an "I know even more but can't tell too much" basis - the BS is exponential.
6 months to go, and so many retarded YT videos 😵

I will admit I've been asking myself that question. For now I still want it, but I have been having some doubts. Fortunately pre-orders can be cancelled and we have plenty of time to decide.
