Excellent main discussion. If you couldn't tell by the multiple threads I've written about it, this is something that fascinates the hell out of me. I'll have to finish it tomorrow, but so far, so good.
Yep, this was a great segment. Kudos to Duke for coming to the table with varied examples that were each worth discussing on their own. They each built to the general thesis of the conversation.
The PSX collecting talk intrigues me. I definitely agree that there is a pro-Nintendo slant with collectors which increases the market (as compared to both PSX and the Genesis) but for a system (PSX) with so many units moved, and SO MANY titles (to add to a conversation on the show - FIFA 2004 was the last PSX game, similar to how they did FIFA 14 for the PS2) why isn't it as collectible?
Is it cart vs. disc? The fact that PSX games play on PS2 so maybe gamers didn't offload their favorites when the next generation came? Lack of real scarce titles?
I know there's a future episode on PSX collecting (I'm getting there) so really interested in listening.
Favorite small scores segment, Bil going back to the well on the NHL '98 for the Saturn talking point (I agree, it does suck - and the PSX vers is great and one I played a ton of) and catching himself for telling the same story. I mean, it's a 3 hour segment, can't blame it for happening.
