...and they would be getting one.
Its more replying to your statement that if they want to play, go buy it digitally. Some people want two copies. 1 to collect and 1 to play with.

Wait Cosmic Star Heroine is confirmed?

List any eBay listings for me so I can double check them.
It didn't sell out even close to 15 seconds short of maybe the soundtrack version which had less than 200 copies in the first batch so that was to be expected. So yes if you were going for the soundtrack version then even that time not being logged in to sites in advance could be enough to miss out on that even with a one copy limit. But if you were going after the normal version it still showed close to 50 after 5 minutes. Hell it was just showing 1 copy left just now even. So sorry I still can't comprehend how somebody ready for it to go live could miss out. Just makes no sense to me. Could have been a glitch or something I guess but why wouldn't that impact everybody?
It was the first 3rd party game they confirmed!
In today's digital world, would you really need a physical copy to play and another sealed physical copy to keep? Especially of a game that has been available digitally and for a cheaper price for a rather long time and that you could have played ages ago? It would easily be enough to get just one physical copy later on to display on your shelf.
I mean, 15 years ago, you would have largely had no choice if you want a sealed videogame collection (for whatever reason), but nowadays, that's not really the case. That's not to say that there might not be legitimate reasons to want 2 copies other than profiting off of them (even though I think 1 per person per platform would suffice).
Anyway, I don't really care either way, but that's probably down to the fact that so far, none of the games offered by LRG have been interesting enough to me to even try to get a copy. I imagine I might feel differently when there's something that I want.![]()

At least LRG is getting experience on how to do these things before CSH comes out.
You're saying they need one to collect and one to play. I'm saying they can buy a physical one to collect and play a digital version.
That's what I'm doing, myself, but I get what he means as well. People will want to open a physical copy, touch the cartridge, insert it in the console, it's a different experience even if it sounds like a silly one for most people.
are the disqualified orders going back up on the site for sale before 6?
They want, not need. With that logic, anyone who wants to buy one to play should just buy it digitally instead.You're saying they need one to collect and one to play. I'm saying they can buy a physical one to collect and play a digital version.

People keeping plastic wrapped games are crazy. Not as crazy as people who seal them in plastic cases to be rated but still crazy.

all collectors are crazy.![]()

Disqualified orders will go up at 6 PM EST to give everyone a fair shot.
I also play digital games and keep my physical sealed, but only if I bought a digital version not knowing a physical was coming or it was on PlayStation Plus.
There is only like one factory that still makes PSP games and it's a long wait to get into queue. I also wouldn't want to hold up Vic at Gaijinworks.
There's only one person crazy enough to do physical PSP games these days.

Not if you use what you collect then you just play games. Collecting solely for the purpose of having it sealed in a display case seems like an investment. Just seems strange to buy a game and not play it.
Why not put them up before 6 for people who missed the 10am orders. Waiting til 6pm only helps people who are free then.
At this rate you will be asking them to make a new listing with one copy that requires a password to buy and giving you that password =P

If you don't play them, why buy them?!What's so bad about keeping these sealed? The digital versions are so cheap that it makes it even easier and makes even more sense.
I'll definitely be getting a physical copy of CSH and buying the digital to play.
Deciding a time gives everyone a chance to prepare.Why not put them up before 6 for people who missed the 10am orders. Waiting til 6pm only helps people who are free then.
Oh man I don't have the willpower to keep a game unopened lol. I open all my games straight away even if I'm not planing to play it anytime soon. It's a really good thing I don't play TGCs anymore lol.
Seems strange to buy antique coins and not buy some drinks with them. Or antique stamps and not send postcards with those suckers.
Actually it doesn't.
Uh, pretty sure Chuck Rozanski (the guy who owns Mile High Comics) would more than likely be the person who buys you're collection. He Was able to grow his business nationally and get to where he is in large part to coming across a comics cache and selling issues from it. The cache had a lot of comics in great condition because the original owner actually stored them properly and in a climate controlled area. Most of the comics bought though were believed to have been read, they didn't just get bought to hold onto.Well, there's also the argument that people who do that provide a nice cosmic balance to video game collecting and preservation. They're vastly outnumbered by the type of people who threw away boxes and manuals back in the 80's and 90's, and still trade in smashed cases and destroyed discs today (with companies like Gamestop sometimes just straight up trashing currently unsellable surplus they don't yet value).
I have an extra sealed copy of Breach & Clear and Retro City Rampage DX, but I couldn't afford a second copy this time and I'd only ever sell this kind of stuff under severe financial duress or far in the future when it's worth it to and I'm an old man who's life is short, and just wants to do heroin or something instead of video games. When you see CIB copies of NES games going into new hands, to people who have ambitiously vast, hermetically sealed museum-like collections... the games are often coming from the equivalent of people like us. Possibly 'cause we died like the old man in that movie Comic Book Villains.
Hell, the guy who owns Mile High Comics out here in Denver and recently sold one of his multi-million comic warehouses to a marijuana grower (now is the time to sell, during the legalization boom) is probably the absolute extreme of someone who'd buy two copies of a game just to keep one sealed.
If you don't play them, why buy them?!
Late February will be insane.
Hopefully those have larger runs. Things may well get ugly.CSH and Oddworld are gonna crash the site.

Is it faux pas to request the mods to keep off-topic discussions out of this thread? This is a great place to interact with LRG, but there are people derailing the thread because they don't understand the collector's mentality.

Not sure how I managed to read EST as PST, but here I am 3 hours after orders opened, hoping to God that I can make it for the second batch.
When is CSH coming out? I still can't find anything about it. Do you have a basic projection for release, like spring or summer or fall? Thanks!
Out of curiosity, did you guys have any internal sales expectations for CSH when the project started? Between all the exposure at events and concerns over physical copies selling out even with an increased print run, you must be pretty pumped lol.
