Why did you guys start collecting games? I want to start collecting myself...

[Ryu Kazama]

Been "collecting" since I was in my teens. Never got rid of any games or anything. Some people keep their books and novels, I keep my games library.

The whole limited edition thing most started when I imported a few games (FF, SF) and noticed there were special versions available. Since then I get whatever I can afford/is nice/fits in. I don't get anything and everything because I find that a bit silly considering I've got other things to worry about, but if it's Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Tekken, DMC, ZOE... etc related then yeah, I'll try and get it if budget, space and sanity allows.

To be honest nowadays it's far easier getting a hold of something simply because people have become more aware (deliberately to resell or no) to maintain the condition of the item. Items from years ago are a bit harder due to the lower print runs and much niche market at the time.
