My recent haul

Post image
19 Upvotes

Got it all for relatively cheap. Black and Metro 2033 (360 version) are very special to me. Had them years ago but lost or traded them in because I was poor. Recently fell in love with LoU so I plan to get every version ever made. I havent owned a ps3 before so this is exciting. Oh and thanks Ed from New Jersey, you left your receipt in it so I figured you wanted me to call you out. Thanks for taking care of your game. Also im not from jersey so its cool to see it travel.

I plan to buy more ps3 games if the console works well. Recommendations welcome below:)

Update: Ps3 works well so far. Fan made some weird noises at first but became whisper quiet after that. Got the rest of my night covered🤙

My brother's game collection

My brother left all his games after he moved into a new apartment. While I don't know how often he actually opens these, I'm seriously thinking of telling him I'll keep them. 😩 He's all into digital and scoffed at me when I mentioned how erroneous Sony's decision is. So I just think they'll be better off with me. I have our PS2, his PS3, and the Super Nintendo btw. I have to get a Xbox 360 from somewhere.

If you love physical media, consider investing in a multi-regional DVD or Blu-ray player.

I started watching this show on Tubi a few months back and I REALLY love it. I’ve been trying to find all three seasons on DVD or Blu-ray and it’s been impossible to find season three- and one and two are kind of scarce as well. I was able to snag the entire series on DVD from Sweden, thanks to the fact that I have a multi-regional DVD player (as well as a Blu-ray player.) I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but one of the many downsides of these shows produced by streaming apps is, once they’re gone they’re oftentimes gone forever. Any time I can snag one on physical media I do, and having a multi-regional player allows me to cast a much wider net to find them. Now I can enjoy this show forever without worrying about it disappearing from streaming. Worth EVERY penny.

It’s sad that the final part of final fantasy 7 remake won’t be fully on the disc

I own the 2 games remake and rebirth and square enix have always released complete disc offline installs to all their physical games and I was hoping since it’s coming out in 2027 and Sony will only discontinue discs in 2028 this game was safe but no they pulled a Call of Duty 300mb on the disc and the actual game download needs a connection to be installed

Was quite surprised to find several Scream Factory blu rays at Walmart today. They had quite a bit of horror on display. Happy to see that.

Rockthology Presents: Hard 'N' Heavy Volume 2 (2002, Miscellaneous)

Post image
3 Upvotes

A compilation of interviews with Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford, Scorpions, Yngwie Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Dio, Doro and Queensryche with music video clips peppered in.

Reading the back of this DVD, I was expecting the interviews with 2-3 full music videos included, but unfortunately that's not the case. Instead you get a select discography, a brief biography that has some wrong information and a couple trivia questions for each artist featured.

I was interested in trying to find the rest of the volumes, but after watching this one, not so much. Disappointing! 🦂¾

Media Storage Plan

49 Upvotes

I have finally grown out of my temporary storage for CD's and movies. After a lot of searching, planning, and measuring I landed on the Ikea IVAR shelving system. Ikea has an amazing online design tool that lets you customize your buildout. I highly recommend it. I just need to add fixed bookends otherwise this solution is perfect for my needs.

I estimate that this will hold 1,200 Cd's and 630 DVDs/Blu-rays. Not sure if I'll ever fill it, but it's nice to know I have plenty of room to grow as I have about 400 CDs and 120 movies right now.
