I recently posted my collection, but Ive done it with photbucket now for easier viewing. Ive listed duplicate/alternate consoles together to avoid cluttering.

No new additions since last time - http://s938.photobucket.com/home/enter1701/allalbums

Cheers, I guess for me in a werid way having a box for the console/game makes it a more complete item. Its a curse though, as boxed items generally go for more...

Yeah it's a bit more to fork out for a boxed console alright, I guess it's worth it though. I've moved around a bit and lost alot of the boxes I had and after awhile, I thought there was no point collecting any more boxes because I kept losing or destroying them. The other problem was storing them *goes back to pic's and drools*

Parents attics are great for storing empty boxes :pac:

God help them if the place ever goes on fire. The roof will be a raging firestorm.

Speaking of boxes, I just dug out the one for my ps1 1180 analog pad. It still has the instruction manual too.

Cha-ching!!!

I've never even seen that for sale anywhere, what does the bidding start at?

I hate boxes, just means a game is just in the collection for staring at, instead of playing.
Honestly, I don't really care about the monetary value of a game, just the value I get from playing it, or knowing I have a game series I really like complete, doesn't really enter into the equation if it has/has not got a box.
Of course this is only really of consideration with carts as most disk based games seem to have boxes made of spaceage stuff called plastic, instead of the woodpulp derived cardboard Nintendo insisted on wrapping their stuff up to the GC.
And even then the jap GC stuff came with nifty little cardboard slip cases around the clamshell.

The Saturn boxes are pants. All 3 of mine are falling apart Why couldn't we have had the nice plastic ones like the US or Japan?

I like to have the boxes for things, makes it feel complete or something.

Jack burton

Just a cart feels like a used pair of underpants, every game needs a little home

Couldnt disagree with you more Ciderman...as usual

The likes of Zelda 3 for the Snes came with a lovely box, and a map of hyrule and assorted parfanelia. For me as a kid, that was pure magic on christmas day...looking at all the places the game would take me etc. Some games' box are pretty generic though. But I feel the same with consoles, it just makes the whole package complete.

I have no idea, that's the problem! It's very hard to gauge the price of something when there are no comparisons at all...although I guess that's a good thing too heh

Just took some pics for anyone interested in having a look. (Box haters and completists can leave now!..I'm looking at you, Ciderman! )

The only problem with it is one corner seems to be a bit white..and there are some very light scuffs on front, but other than that it's like it just came off a shelf in store -

Myrddin

Just like 1995 :cool: Nice find!

Actually this is the best damn PS pad ever! The NeGcon by Namco!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeGcon
I championed in Wipeout, Wipeout 2097, Need for Speed series and Gran Turismo with this puppy.
It is probably the only controller I own a box to, given that when I bought my 4th PS I wanted to relive the bliss, and it came with a box I never got around to throwing out!

Could be worth a few bob in years to come I suppose, but I'm not for selling, at any time I could get the urge to play Need for Speed again, and I'll come a callin for the NeGcon!


Pity then that the JoGcon sucked, I have one of those too, awful thing, consept never worked, it's amazing that this thing got past the prototype stage at all.

Regarding the analog pad for the PS though, sure we all had one or two of those, never knew they'd become valuable!
I reckon I can lay my habds on one yet, although it has no box.
They were a bit too light for me, and I seem to remember they were quickly eclipsed by the release of the dualshock, around the time of GT and Ape Escape

I've wanted one of them for a while. That swivel section seems really interesting.

They were only on sale for a very limited period in 1997, with little mention in the media. And as you said, they stopped making them because of the pending release of the Dual Shock.

I only ever remember reading about them in one Playstation mag around that era. And then my memory muddled them up with the standard Dual Shock.

They're quite valuable because very few people actually bought one. And a lot of people prefer the longer handles than the short Dual Shock ones.

CiDeRmAn

Well, I was selling them in Gamesworld at the time and they were the next big thing accordingto the Sony reps!
The Dualshock was not to make it to our shores at all and we were to make do with the analog only doohickey instead,
for a while they were bundled with consoles as well, I think, and quite a few were sold as well, especially to use with the likes of Need For Speed III, Gran Turismo, I think Toca was also compatible with it, and rumble was some untouchable thing only the japanese could have
Then there was a big switch and the Dualshock arrived, to wide spread acclaim and flew off of the shelves, not literally but, well, you know...

They were great days I tells ya!

Atavan-Halen

I'll definitely have to get one of those controllers before their true value becomes known!

I'll pop up pics of some of my stuff tonight

Thanks for the memories guys

I still have the boxed game,with the manuel and map in top condition. I wonder would it be worth a lot in years to come.

Yeah I managed to buy it again years later after selling all of my stuff years ago. I wouldnt think it will be worth "a lot" per say, but it will be worth as much as a very popular but unrare snes game will be worth.

Mine has the little black book of secrets you can "consult" if your stuck :P

o1s1n

I don't have a box for A Link to the Past, but have the map and booklet.

Considered getting the map framed. Would look pretty cool.

Atavan-Halen

So here's a few pics, not everything but am currently sorting out stuff and re-organising my games. Will post up more pics in a while. I wont put the pics directly here as they're very big :P

N64 + games

Genesis + Games

Megadrive 1 & 2 + Games

Original Gameboy + Games

Gameboy Color + Game

Gameboy advances, SP and Micros + Games

DSi & DS + Games

Saturn + Games

That's all for the moment

CiDeRmAn

There is, of course, a handful of games that are only complete with the box and other additions, Castlevania SOTC is all well and good on XBLA, but why settle for that when the PS original with the art book and the soundtrack disk are so much better, same for Zelda on the Snes, same especially with Super Metroid and it's awesome guide book.
But, nevertheless, the regular run of the mill Snes game cam in lousy cardboard packaging with forgettable instruction manuals and suffer little from only being owned as a cart.
At least Sega were good enough to provide robust clam shells for their titles.

Well Im afraid thats all Nintendo gave us, so unless you like shelves of loose carts (which I dont), then there is no other genuine option.

Did some organising last night while on a 2-can red bull trip..... my OCD is out of control!
