Wow thats a mouthfull to read,lol. Colllecting anything isnt pointless if its what you enjoy,if it wasnt none of would be here to begin with. A majority dont collect for financial gain but for the simple enjoyment of it,regardless wether something has a glitch in it or not. In fact its entirely possible that these collectables with the glitches will be of more value or rarity than those without,purely because there wont be many around. As it is now,first print runs of games are popular because they are a first print. It,to me doesnt matter if i can play anything online,if i can play it thats all that really matters. Even then,you only play to relive a memory,to remember the joy etc you had when you first played it. Sure its more fun with more people but theres ways to have more people join if you want. Then it gets packed away for another few years. I still have an ATARI 2600 somewhere & every so often i will crank it up to play space invaders,frogger etc purely for the hell of it. On the subject of online servers the original xbox is a good example,even though the xbox 360 was released in 2005 these consoles continued selling well up intill 2007. Online servers for the original xbox was only shutdown on April 15 2010,the last game played online was Halo 2 which was not shutdown until May 11 2010. The official date is April but due to some diehard fans keeping the consoles on/connected it took a month for it to finally shutdown. So,maybe its entirely possible this will happen again,that online servers will still be kept going even after the console has been replaced. Maybe this time it will be longer,maybe the servers will never be shutdown.
In conclusion,to answer the title statement simply collecting or doing what gives you happiness for whatever reason & whatever way is never ever pointless
