Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

[Gameguy]

I feel sorry for anybody trying to buy every PS4 game in existence, there's something like 4000 or more physical games. All I know is that if you come across a cool looking game in a store and pass on it, there's a high probability you'll never see it again. I've done that too many times. Didn't buy Cannon Spike for the Dreamcast, never saw it again outside a game convention. Ring of Rose for the PS2? Passed on it, goes for something like $600 now. Yikes. So if I find a game that looks fun and it's at a reasonable price, I try and grab it.

I was intrigued by Ring of Rose for the notoriety, but I can recall passing it up when I saw it listed at like $60 for a loose scratched disc so many years ago. I suppose even that goes for much higher now.

These posts are a bit old now but I guess I missed them the first time. I've passed on Rule of Rose at EB Games when it was about $60 brand new, I figured I'd wait for a used copy to turn up around $20. Never happened. Same with Solatorobo for the DS, it was I think $20 new at EB Games but it was an open copy being sold as new, so I wanted to wait for a used one or to find an actual sealed one at a different location. Again, never happened and I missed out. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually come across copies at some garage sale. Those are just some of the new-at-retail releases I passed on, I passed on used games at thrifts and other locations which were much worse to miss out on.

LRG in trouble again this time for selling cdrs for 3do games.

I heard about this earlier today, some youtube posters were talking about it. I guess you're supposed to just keep the games sealed to be graded, you're not supposed to open the packages to view the contents.

I remember when posting negative comments on LRG here was frowned upon, any poor business practice by them was excused by supporters who bought every release. Time has really changed things.
