Hello to all the members of the community!
I've been browsing the main site for ages as I am an avid collector myself and always out on a scavenger hunt for great deals and really unique editions for my lovable console games :1:

I recently decided to give it a shot with the forum thanks to the fellow member @tonybsg and I was surprised by the amount of information, deals and insights that one can get from the threads. I am also eager to start dealing with other members, since the Marketplace has some sweet items up for grabbing :thumb:

A few quick info on myself:
I am on my early 30's and still I cannot let go off my favorite habit of enjoying videogames and getting sucked in the magical worlds that game developers build for us. I have been a gamer since a child, starting with an Atari 2600 and an Amstrad 6128, moving along the whole history of modern video gaming and owning almost every significant console since then as well as PCs. Although I've been a PC gamer for most of my adolescence, consoles gained my preference since PC gaming is expensive if you want to keep up with the latest hardware to enjoy games at its best.

My favorite consoles are SNES / Gameboy / Master System and of course all of the Playstation consoles -especially PS2- but I do not discriminate through brands and I also own an Xbox360 since I enjoy playing the exclusive titles. Wii has eluded me until now, but soon I plan on acquiring one:bday:

Last but not least, I particularly like adventure games (from my PC gaming era), mostly an RPG and Action/RPG story driven titles, as well as racing, soccer and platform games. FPS are not my favorite but Halo for example is included in my all time best games list. I do not play multiplayer/online games since my day job keeps me busy, but on the other hand local coops are my thing!

I own many collector's editions and items and I plan on sharing images later on...

Phew! Happy to be here:banana:

Well, I've been planning to upload some pics for your enjoyment :thumb: but my camera broke down a couple of months ago and with all these major games in between there was no budget left to purchase a new one.

Also my smartphone has a shitty camera so I was reluctant...

Anyway, today I had some arrivals (Mass Effect Library Edition Vol.1) and thought to drop some photos from my mobile. I am quite impressed by this edition, great hardcover, awesome artwork and god look at all these pages :drool:

I got it on Amazon UK from 26,80 pounds with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all. Here you can find the current link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mass-Effect-Library-Eduardo-Francisco/dp/1616551119/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1369329546&sr=1-2&keywords=mass+effect+volume+1

Bonus: Full Mass Effect "family" :banana: Missing a couple of figures and I forgot to add the books on my shelf, but I will update when it's complete.

Nice collection.
I also played Mass Effect before. but stopped eventually.
If I continue my mass effect campaign I will be surely jealous with this nice deal you've got
