Thanks, there's boxes and other artwork I have laying around. It's late and there's not much light in my room. Tomorrow I'll take a picture of everything!

welcome mate

[Deathhound]

Welcome to the forums, enjoy it here!

You've got great items so far! :)
Love the bandit mask from Borderlands.

[Forces]

Thanks! That's not everything, I still haven't managed to find a good way to group pictures, maybe all steel cases in one photo and all game guides in another? I bought the Psycho mask when I went to ACEN as my friends and I cosplayed Borderlands characters

All steelcases in one photo for sure :poke:

Game guides in another works but steelbooks should get their own photo shoot :D

[Forces]

Alright, should I also do a panoramic of my room? I've got game posters and a cool gaming set up, or should I stick to the collectables?

I'm surprised you don't know this yet but we LOVE pics! :drool:

The more the better :thumb:

Pics of your pet are also acceptable if you have any :rotf:

[Forces]

So I guess I don't have much steel books :( Do you guys buy them online or look for the CE's to have them? I haven't seen much steelbooks lately

lol no worries buddy :)

Some of us are steelbook junkies some don't care for them at all

(I love steelies :D)

A lot of steelbooks are pre-order bonuses so are never available for regular purchase

Futureshop in Canada get them

http://www.ebay.ca/sch/Video-Games-Consoles-/1249/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=steelbook&LH_PrefLoc=1

US gets some....

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-Consoles-/1249/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=steelbook&LH_PrefLoc=1

Then europe get a bunch too

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Video-Games-Consoles-/1249/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=steelbook&LH_PrefLoc=3

Note those are all just generic ebay searches in those specific countries, some steels on US ebay may be from Europe and vice-versa etc.

Always here to help if you need it :thumb:

Is it safe to trust eBay? I usually purchase from Amazon, or instore

[SwiftDeath]

Is it safe to trust eBay? I usually purchase from Amazon, or instore

to be honest ebay is the only way to get a lot of items other than perhaps here

It is fairly safe but it depends what you mean

When you buy something on ebay, you are more than likely buying it from another individual and not a storefront per se

Hence however that person does business might affect you but ebay offers certain levels of buyer protection in case of damage, non-delivery etc.

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you wanted to get really serious about collecting

[Forces]

Okay thanks! Did you see the picture of my gaming set up? ;)

Swifty approves :thumb:

......and is mildy jealous :beee:

:rotf:

Nah looks nice although is the X360 directly on the carpet?

[Forces]

Also, since you're here, I've seen a lot of "press kits" What exactly are those?

[Forces]

I haven't gotten around to getting a little shelf down there, and a the PS3 is in a different room. Every shelf/cabinet/desk type thing I've looked for is too tall to fit under there, and I have no idea what else to do. Also, I rarely play games on my xbox or PS3 since I have a gaming laptop

Also, since you're here, I've seen a lot of "press kits" What exactly are those?

Press kits are promotional materials sent to gaming journalists to advertise the game basically

People have different defintions as to what constitutes a Press kit but usually rule of thumb is that it has to come with a copy of the game and have been distributed before retail release so journalists could review it

They can get pretty rare as a lot likely get thrown out/kept

You could always put a piece of plastic underneath it

My worry would be static electricity affecting it although the way modern electronics are today it's probably just me being paranoid (plastic is an insulator, cardboard is also good)

[Forces]

Does the person who runs this site get press kits? Could I just make a small blog and get press kits? Lol

[SwiftDeath]

Person who runs the site doesn't but other gaming journalist sites do

You need to have a big enough following so unlikely with a small blog although I think it helps others make connections that lead to items :D

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay :)

[vhal_x]

Welcome :) I'm sure you'll love it here (and your bank will hate it :P) xx

[Forces]

Haha, I'm just glad my girlfriend doesn't mind!

Just make a video blog on youtube reposting trailers/news articles found on other sites, and boom. It'll be raining press kits.
