will our collectors editions be WORTHLESS!!?? in the long run?

[Twisted]

..i was chatting up a bit with someone who works in the world of economics, and also is a savvy collector of various things, he pretty much alluded to the fact that, the video game market,..and talked about how my approach was silly when it came to "collecting" video games, and actually believeing overall, there a "good investment"..to summarize, what he said,..is that game companies and entertainment in general is heading towards digital distribution, and physical media discs are on their way out in the next few years, especially DVD and CD, in place Blu-Ray also has a shelf life remaining of about 6 years, before that medium is discontinued,..also DVD players, will be phased out, just as we see the trend of CD players, making our CD/DVD's "obsolete" and inoperable in the next 4-5 years, and of course gamemakers tend to re-release nostalgia games with updates, enhanced play and graphics for an attractive price, since most collectors editions are composed of bonus CD/DVD content, and the next gen consoles, will probably have limited backwards support if any at all,..so if we held on to our prized editions for maybe another 5-10 years?...what will become of them?..when the media disc format is obsolete? (cd/dvd?)..and if it is an extremely popular title, it will be re-made, and better than ever for a very affordable price..and ask yourselves?..is anybody really seeking out PS2?..collectors editions?..and would you pay at least what it cost, let alone top dollar?..no, of course, not..you would say..it's dated, a relic, and offer or valued maybe at 25% of original price...this is a losing game, where just pouring our money into it, and it'll give us joy for a year or two..but will we regret it 5 years from now?..we all know the next gen systems are going to be all out 2-3 years from now...when we "show off" our current collection?..is anybody really going to be moved?..or impressed?..no, it appears at first as useless junk,..when BIOSHOCK 2 collectors edition came out,..it went for $100..now a days, i see it for as little as $15...still rotting on the shelf, in the bargain bins etc...and this is a AAA current gen popular title...and it's only been out maybe 2 years?....this hobby of ours is more or less leading the way of the pied piper.. SORRY FOR THE RANT, IT'S ALMOST 3:00 AM, AND I AM BORED AND AMPED ON RED BULL..HAHAHAHAHA ..I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR PEOPLES THOUGHTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO KEEP GAMES SEALED, AND BELIEVE THEY TRUELY WILL INCREASE IN VALUE OVER THE LONG RUN,..(NOT ACCOUNTING FOR/OR ADJUSTING FOR INFLATION)...as opposed to those, who believe it comprises nothing more than useless junk and trinkets, and 6-12 months from now, nobody will care, unless it is extremely limited of no more than 1,000....for instance, there's a lot of hype led to believed about the sonic generations collectors edition..how it is in demand and a hot item..unfortunately,..those in the know...have said, demand has not been as much as anticipated, as where led to believe, and of course there's reasons for it not even being offered in north america, and the game itself..is selling SLOWER AND LESS than anticipated..these are all troubling signs..no matter how cool we think it is,..we are a very small minority..and sales numbers say it's not "that" cool as we think it is..meaning it won't hold tangible value, or be even worth what you paid for it down the road, hype aside..of course others could care less, and tear right into the boxes, and play with all the gadgets, and just throw them out or give them away down the road when they've become bored of them i suppose?
