Topic	I find the 'to have something on my shelf' argument for physical media dumb

And I know it was an exaggeration, but a games selling digital at 5% of the physical copy barely happens, IF it has even happened ever. It wasn't an exaggeration. I was specifically referring to retro games and stuff like Virtual Console, not normal new titles. Look at Earthbound - it's $8 on VC or equivalent to less than $4 on the SNES Classic, but original cartridges go for over $150. Most examples aren't that extreme, but even for common games, the VC is usually at most still half the price of a cartridge. Oh. You're talking about those kind of games. Yeah. If you're talking about original cartidges from forever ago, they would be more expensive. Which is what a few people were talking about. Selling old original cartridges & such for games. I thought you were talking about games that are out for the current system. My mistake. I buy digital for old games. But they are only a couple bucks, and for some people, they can only get the digital version. Not everyone has all their old systems. And some may have never had them to begin with. Most of the time, when people were collecting original cartridges to sell, they are talking about buying them when they first came out for normal price and then selling them later on. They would be on the receiving end of that $100. I did say MOST, though. Some would pay the $100. Haha. When it comes to current games, they are usually a lot closer in price. --- 3DS Friend Code: 4742 6214 5315 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
