Man Collects Every PS2 Game Ever Released

Posted on Thursday, July 7 @ 07:08:51 Eastern by

Gamers are collectors. Which is why every publisher releases a "collector's edition" of their game to try and lure those of us who prefer to having bragging rights over money. Not all collecting is for bragging rights. Some people can't part with the games they have formed a bond with, while some like to keep their old games around for the off chance they want to go back and relive past experiences. Others keep their games around because GameStop won't give them enough cash for their trade-in to make it worth it. Whatever the reason, gamers, in general, are collectors.

But whatever pride you take in your puny, pathetic collection will be completely shattered by this one man's collection of PS2 games. His collection of just one platform trumps most of our entire lifetime span of console collections.

His collection consists of every single North American release of a PlayStation 2 title (over 10,000 titles). All games are their original versions, only including "Greatest Hits" versions if they include more features than the original. This includes all boxed sets... everything. And get this... they're fucking sealed!

Now I'm not bashing the guy, his collection is awesome. But what's the point of having all of these games sealed? What games did he actually play since the PS2 debuted in 2000? And where the fuck did he get all of the money?

    judging by all the oak shelving and solid oak doors, i would guess that money is not usually a concern for this gentleman. congrats on the collection, i'm going to go play splinter cell chaos theory that i bought second hand without the manual...

    Video games are not baseball cards...you gotta take the wrapping off and play them. This seems like a crime, but it does make me want to revisit some of my old favorites for my ps3

    "Video games are not baseball cards..." That explains why they don't sound right when I put them in my bike's spokes.

    Let's hope his house has better security than his wooden bookshelf...or he's in for some serious trouble one day.

    Hmm, what the is the point of spending a half million dollars on games if you're never going to play them? It can't be for future profits, most of those would only be worth a couple dollars on today's market. A few rare titles might be worth some money, but there's no way he's ever going to make his money back. Just seems silly.

    What you don't see are the copies that he has open and has played. I collect Street Fighter action figures and comic books. For every figure i open and every comic i read... and even the games i have played i have a 2nd copy unopened and on display. This man must have a TON of cash just flowing around. The above collection is nothing short of bad ass.
