PS3 Demon's Souls Collector Reporting In

[Mephistophea]

Hello,

so I finally decided to join this community and not just lurk around. I am Meph from Czech Republic and I am collecting all editions of Playstation 3 game from From Software called Demon's Souls. It includes all region editions, collector's editions, promo editions, review editions etc.

Ever since we got european Black Phantom edition on June 2010 I wanted to own "more" of this game but it wasn't financially plausible so I started acting on this feeling as of late 2017. Now it's been more than year of serious collecting and I have gathered good amount of editions I set out to get, with missing quite a few still.

Maybe I will get assistance from more experienced members of these forums, maybe not, either way it will be fun time I imagine. Thank you for reading. :)

Hats off my friend! That is a nice collection!Thank you very much, I clicked on the Castlevania collection link in your signature and was in astounded by the sheer size of your collection, well played. :)
WOW.....that is a crazy amount of Demon's Souls right there! Impressive. I didn't even know there were that manyYeah, it's growing larger as I dive deeper into it as a lot of regions have own unique variants. I am using a lot of shopping agents to import that stuff from all over the world as ebay and other standard means aren't enough at all. Also I browsed through your Souls collection Mar-l-Aoutat and despite me going super focused only on Demon's Souls, it still pales in comparison of what you gathered. :)
