Don't really own anything special. I usually just buy the cheapest versions of games or consoles. Only exception would probably be that PS4 Retro City Rampage physical copy that's apparently worth $150+ despite only costing $30.

 

[Aters]

Don't know where it is right now but a few years back I bought red dead redemption and ended up seeing Clint Eastwood in Manhattan. Makes no sense but I got him to sign it.

That's so cool.

 

[Nishastra]

I have a few fairly rare PSX games. Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and Ghost in the Shell come to mind immediately.

 

[Seven Force]

I have a copy of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (The Cross Generation of Heroes release) signed by Ryota Niitsuma and a copy of Scribblenauts signed by the 5th Cell guys. That's about it.

 

[HF2014]

Purchased a Seattle Mariners edition Nintendo DS at Safeco Field.

Ok thats really cool. Didnt knew this existed!

 

[Breads]

Another thing I own are these two Solatorobo artbooks, which are Japan only and extremely niche. I think there's only a select few people in the US who even own them.

How much of it is Nobuteru Yuuki's work? I might try to get my hands on it if possible.

 

[Nosgotham]

I got a cool borderlands mouse from Gearbox community day that was only available there. Its pretty neat

 

[eXistor]

Nothing that others aren't able to own, but I do have a bunch of Nintendo standees (one of the perk of working in a gamestore).

Outside of that have some rare-ish videogames (mint in box Earthbound and similar stuff) and game statues, mostly Zelda.

 

[Jonbo298]

I haven't kept everything over the years, unfortunately (traded in Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64, so much hindsight regret). Still have a GameBoy Player (including boot disc) and the broadband adapter for my non-existent GameCube.

 

[Baron Von Beans]

Id say my signed CE copy of Gears of War 2 fits quite nicely in here. I've got two Lancer Replicas as well to go with it.

 

[Stiler]

I own the World of Warcraft: Collector's edition.

Not only that, but it was signed by a bunch of Blizzard devs at the launch event.

Probably my most special gaming thing I own.

 

[Bookman]

Castlevania 3 (nes) in near perfect mint contidion?

 

[KiraXD]

My grail, signed and sketched ipad, Death from Darksiders 2 by joe madureira (darksiders/battle chasers/xmen artist)

 

[SuperSah]

I have a signed lenticular sleeve by the creator of Big Bang Mini on the DS. He even drew me a fantastic little doodle.

I know it's nothing 'big', but it's special to me and that game was an underrated DS gem.

 

[Saganator]

Unfortunately, not really. I still have the NES that was given to me when I was 6. Imported copy of Demon's Souls?

 

[aradikus]

I have to admit that over the years and growing older, I tend to get rid of collector's stuff. My most precious and rarest thing that I own today is this baby girl!

Not that rare, I've got two or three of those around here somewhere.

 

[Pontiaction]

I have an original preorder copy of Duke Nukem 3D signed by George Broussard and Joe Siegler.

I was on CompuServe chatting with those two guys the night Duke shareware was released. Later in life I moved to the Dallas area and had an opportunity to meet them at Gearbox's first Community Day, so I got them to sign my copy from all those years ago. Pretty cool moment for me.

 

[Rektash]

Final Fantasy VII signed by Nobuo Uematsu
Chrono Cross signed by Yasunori Mitsuda
Soma Bringer OST signed by Yasunori Mitsuda
Koudelka signed by Hiroki Kikuta

Soul Sacrifice Delta Asia version (the rare one) with english language option.

Quite a few rare PS1/2 jrpgs.

 

[SegaShack]

Yup. Me too! 11,768 here.

 

[Bookman]

2 cabbard of this kind of stuff. Mostly assasins creed things

 

[professor denim]

Neo Geo Aes and nearly 50 games. Including Metal Slug 3 US and Garou Mark of the Wolves.

 

[Menitta]

Boxed copy of FF6 on Super Famicom.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Nothing that anyone else couldn't buy easily. And none of it is signed :'(

 

[Warnen]

I have a shikishi (autograph board) of a doodle of L from death note by Takeshi Obata

 

[Rimon-hanit]

I actually canceled my Ni No Kuni edition (after it was obvious it's going to be limited), was short on funds.

The favorite collectibles I own are:

I like nice boxes (the Tekken one is actually kind of crappy, but I love Tekken).

Not really video game related but that's the only rare item left I own today..

I have to admit that over the years and growing older, I tend to get rid of collector's stuff. My most precious and rarest thing that I own today is this baby girl!

It was rare for a while, but I think they did a reprint a few months back.

 

[robotnik]

Nothing that special -

Uk Panzer Dragoon Saga
Uk Elminage Original (300 copies made)
JP Psychic Killer Taromaru (2500 copies made)
Every SHMUP ever released on the Sega Saturn

Elminage is the only thing there that's special, everything else is easy to get with enough money. I'm glad I got all the shmups before the prices really ballooned a couple of years ago.

Damn, I missed it

 

[TheFNEffecT]

My Taco Bell PS4 haha

 

[Blam]

My Taco Bell PS4 haha

Hated that those deals were limited to just the US and not NA.

Oh the most special thing I own is a bunch of triple AAA development alphas/QA etc.

 

[Kombatologist]

Not as cool as a 20th Anniversary PS4, but...

(As some of you may know, Trevor Goddard died in 2003.)

Damn, I did not know that , watching MK won't be the same now, that's way too young.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I've the Xenogears Perfect Works book from back in the 90s/early 2000s, and a nice Valkyrie Profile artbook too. I think those are probably the only reasonable rare or special gaming things I have.

 

[Lexxon]

Nintendo Power 100th issue Gold N64 controller. I refused to let ANYONE use it for years, but we've been using it for the past few since all the other controllers' sticks are complete shit. Part of me wishes I held onto it in mint condition and sold it, but it's a fun memento.

 

[Trace]

Signed copy of the boxed version of League of Legends signed by Phreak/Ryze/Rivington/Ironstyle/Bunch of other people along with Elementz/Cop and a few other pros.

 

[strafer]

4 disc CD-Rom version of World of Warcraft.

 

[ChrisD]

Nothing that anyone else couldn't buy easily. And none of it is signed

This, but I love my collection all the same. ^^

Most valuable item I have (for the time being; prices fluctuate!) is the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition, think it's still worth $180~. Though my personal "Grail" item that I'll refuse to ever let go of is my copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy with the steel book case. I love that thing so much. It's not even all that valuable anymore, but it carries a lot of memories with it and still takes the title of "best looking" on the shelf.

Not really video game related but that's the only rare item left I own today..

I have to admit that over the years and growing older, I tend to get rid of collector's stuff. My most precious and rarest thing that I own today is this baby girl!

Awwww. She's adorable. Good to see such a proud father! (Mother? Hope I got it right the first time, if not, sub the word ^^; )

 

[Kamina]

I own a PSP Go.

And that one:

 

[RealityCheque]

By the end of the week I'll own an Elite controller.

Does that count?

 

[1upsuper]

I don't have anything too crazy:

Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut, loose. Hollywood Video rental exclusive. Something like ~10,000 copies ever existed. Bought my copy a decade ago for $20 and now it's pushing $300, loose. AFAIK it's one of the rarest N64 games if not the rarest (prove me wrong GAF)

Complete boxed copies of EarthBound, Mother 1+2, and Mother 3.

Moon Crystal for the Famicom, loose. Bought it in Japan.

I also have a bunch of now-expensive games from the NES to the GameCube, but nothing really noteworthy.

I also have a near complete Umihara Kawase game collection. I have complete copies of UK SFC, Shun Second Edition PSX, Second Edition Kanzenban for DS, Sayonara for 3DS, and Sayonara Umihara Kawase+ for Vita with mousepad and little figurine, and I bought the OST for it. I still need to get copies of the first version of the PSX game and the crappy PSP port. I also want to collect all the promotional materials and artbooks for the series.

Now for something with a lot of sentimental value, I backed the Katawa Shoujo artbook kickstarter and so I have that artbook. I didn't have much money at the time so I could only donate enough for just the artbook, but I'm so glad I have it.

 

[Movalpolos]

the neatest/weirdest thing i own would probably be this (not my photo, obviously):


It's just such a nice package for such an obscure series.

I want that.

 

[zoukka]

Special editions intended for press for God of War, Jak II and Ratchet & Clank. I had press connections back then.

 

[banefirelord]

A signed Giant Bomb poster from all of the staff (post Ryan's death, sadly ), two Sam and Max posters signed by Steve Purcell and an authenticated Cold War-era Department of Defense metal fallout shelter sign.

 

[higemaru]

I have a copy of Streets of Rage 2 signed by Yuzo Koshiro but aside from that, there's not too much else in my collection that's too outstanding.

 

[blame space]

does anyone want to buy a pipboy edition fallout 4

 

[cj_iwakura]

I'd give up just about anything for one of the Elminage Original sets.

 

[Voidance]

When I was a teenager, I foolishly got rid of a lot of stuff that's now rare, but I did manage to hang on to one thing: an original run copy of Final Fantasy VII. Not the rarest gaming item out there, but it's what I have.

 

[openrob]

I had a chance to pick one up on the day. Thought it wasn't a big deal
Regretted it several days later

 

[blame space]

is anybody using that 20th anniversary PS4 as their main console?

 

[Mondrian]

I have a handful of rare titles, but my favorite gaming items are my Net Yaroze and PS2 Linux 1.0 kit.

 

[cRIPticon]

Diablo II box signed by the entire team, a SYZYGY Pong board signed by Nolan Bushnell, an ATARI Lynx signed by RJ Mical, and a copy of Ralph Baer's book, signed by him, when I visited with him at his home in 2007.

 

[Jacknapes]

Got a signed card from all the devs of Witcher 3
