PSP Collectors

[chocklo]

I think gamesgaryjpg mentioned 800 something!?

sigh.... didnt realise I was that far off...

[chocklo]

Phew! just flicked through the old posts. Gary said the there were 800 including 100 each of variants and essentials. I'm not aiming for either of those so just above 600 sounds about right - back on track!

[chocklo]

The collection so far.....

[hydr0x]

Chocklo, you know you have to scan all of these PSP games for the database, don't you?

[gamesgaryjp]

These are the stats we have on our database:

There are 645 for a full set, and an additional 33 variants. There are also around 100 platinum and i dont know about essentials as i havent bothered. Far too many so far, and they keep coming.

The stats are as follows:

PAL UK: 620

EURO EXCLUSIVE: 25

VARIANTS: 33

The pal uk includes limited editions and box sets.

UMD games collecting is just a small part of the UMD library on psp. Whilst you guy's seem to be in a hurry to get a full set of PAL games, I've been busy building up my collection of UMD games, movies and consoles and promo items spanning 7 years of collecting. Though some of you have some impressive collections it will be sometime before you reach the size of my collection in terms of overall psp items! There are lots of psp games that are just not worth the money or the time collecting as they will never present any future value in terms of collecting as there are so many of them out there. Plus a lot of them are just not that great to play....... I currently have over 750 UMD's ,10 consoles most of which are limited and lots of accessories and promo items! You guys have a long way to go yet!

Granted most of you don't just collect for the psp, I still have the largest collection by far for psp on this site!

Just thought I'd throw that in.........LOL

Wow, you want some kind of medal?

I dont collect umd movies because i collect games, not films. I see them as pointless and count as nothing towards the psp library. If you enjoy collecting them, you go do that

Ive been collecting PSP games for more than 1 1/2 years now, i started with factory sealed and then whole set in general. Im in no rush at all, i buy them when they are at a low price im willing to pay, not before then. In my mind, i set a price for the games, and only buy them when they appear for said price.

If it takes me another 5 years to finish the collection, it doesnt bother me one iota. I enjoy collecting for the PSP and im not competing with anyone else for any reason.

Im collecting a full set of factory sealed, so far i have 122 sealed titles, and the rest are complete in excellent condition upwards. I dont care about future value and ive no interest in collecting systems either.

So, before you make another silly post about how great you are with your UMD movies, remember, its not all about you. We come on here to be friendly and have pleasant discussions regarding games. Me and chocklo are having a little 'to and fro' with the PSP collecting. You appear to have just came here to show off how you think you are better than anyone else with the PSP

I thought you were cool, man!

Sorry but this is the internet and I'll say what I like, I wasn't abusive I was stating a fact. The psp was designed as a multi-media device not just a games console. If you ignore the UMD movie library your a fool. Most of the older UMD tiles are deleted and are much harder to find than games. I've had to listen to you guy's comparing the size of your manhood's for sometime now! That's why I posted what I did to get a reaction! And it worked as you took the bate........

Like I said in terms of psp collections I have the largest most comprehensive here, get over it. If anybody wants to contest it? Bring it on!!
I bought a psp on launch back in 2005, I followed the psp because it was a great system to play and the best handheld media player of it's time not just to collect for.The collecting came secondary as I progressed through each model of the psp. You missed all that because you have only recently started with the psp. You obviously rate your collection as the greatest there is out there as I'd already guessed. So out of all the the psp's you could have purchased you got a psp 3000 in pearl white? As for as your collection of psp games I have 300 of my own. Suppose it was you who bought all those naff football games and pointless shovelware titles to fill up your collection! Lucky you.

I'll stick with the very best games and UMD video's from all over the world on psp. Not to mention my lush Limited Edition psp's only available from Japan and US.What was it you said on playstationcollecting.com?? That's a great UMD movie collection! I'd like to collect those once I've finished on the psp games. Guess you forgot what you said back then.......By the time your done with PAL, I'll have the most comprehensive collection of psp items around on the net! Just to rub salt in the wound that is......LOL

Okay, I'll say it once and only once: Stop it.

I won't tolerate you calling people fools, nor will I tolerate passive aggressive behavior like that. Yes, this is the internet, but the internet is not a place where you can do everything you want. Any law and the normal rules of social etiquette still apply. If you can't do that, just leave.

Contrary to your claim you were not stating facts. Whether or not someone considers UMD movies part of the collection is up to him. As food for thought, do you consider DVD movies part of a PS2 collection? You love anything UMD, that's great. But don't force others to have the same view as you do. Especially not just to make your collection look better. It's pretty obvious that you're a bit annoyed that these guys have more PSP games than you, the self-proclaimed king of PSP collecting. That's okay. But don't resort to behavior like this. If you want to beat their collections so desperately, just buy more games. Oh wait, you said you only want the good games and that's the reason you have 300. Curious how you want every bad movie but not every bad game.

[gamesgaryjp]

The collection so far.....

Thats a rather large collection in such a short space of time mate, kudos! Where do you put all of your collections? Space must be a bit tight with just PSP & DS

Excuse me but I wasn't calling anybody a fool but if the cap fit's!! I was stating what I know to be true about the playstation brand I follow.I'm allowed to express my opinion without fear of an admin/moderator threatening me. I have done nothing wrong, rather it is you who has a problem with my ability to express myself.
I don't have to leave this forum. It's harmless banter and as I said in my previous post if someone has to have the largest psp collection why can't it be me? Have you got a problem with me stating this? Or do you want to control this too. There is always someone bigger and better that was the point I was trying to make! However I think you missed my point and jumped on me all defensive. I haven't been rude,abusive or broken any forum rules. I'm a moderator myself on another forum so I know how this works!! However regardless of whether you like what I've posted, to be fair It's all harmless.

People here surely aren't that naive that they think this wouldn't have happened at some point?

Just to add I don't think your in a position to give me advice on what is good/bad on the psp format. Just for the record the UMD format was designed specifically for the psp console and UMD movies don't work on any other console or device. So comparing a DVD and the PS2 to the psp is pointless. And yes UMD movies do have a place in collecting for the system, you just haven't realized it yet! Still doesn't change anything. You just sound like your sticking up for the other forum members at my expense. Oh! I forget I do have a psp shaped throne too. which I'm actually sat on as we speak.

I have 3 PSP games...and 1 UMD...winning

[hydr0x]

If you ignore the UMD movie library your a fool

Excuse me but I wasn't calling anybody a fool

You sure?

And I'm not a moderator, I'm the owner of this site. If I tell you your passive aggressive behavior won't be tolerated then you can accept that and change it. Or you don't and live with the consequences. Your post was out of line, and it was not harmless banter. You were hurt and started flailing around instead of sucking it up.

Oh, and I'm not defensive, I don't even collect PSP actively. I'm the site owner and I don't have to tolerate certain behavior towards site members. If I observe such behavior I have all the right in the world to say so and tell you to stop.

As I said it would be foolish to ignore such an important part of the playstation portable library wouldn't you agree? I accept your the site owner. I'm cool with that, as I said I've not been abusive to you or anyone else here. If you have a problem with me stating specifics about my psp collection I don't know what I can do to change that. I'm not about to sell just yet. However I may be open to offers though. I know your not actively collecting but at the right price you could have a fantastic collection.
Please don't tell me how I'm feeling you don't know me and certainly don't have the ability to read my feelings or thoughts. Otherwise you'd know what I'm thinking now!

i can beat that, i have 5 games, and 1 UMD is on it's way still don't have a PSP to play them on

[hydr0x]

As I said it would be foolish to ignore such an important part of the playstation portable library wouldn't you agree?

No, I wouldn't. Even if it was an undisputable fact that the movies are part of the PSP library, which it isn't, then still everyone would be free to make up his own mind whether or not he wants to include certain parts of it. You have no right to belittle someone who does. You are ignoring huge parts of the game library, has anyone called you a fool for that? Would you like being called a fool for it?

[xXHotFuzzXx]

Curious how you want every bad movie but not every bad game.

Wasn't aware you was familiar with what items I have in my collection. What I own is about half of what's available and I only buy what I consider great and collectable but as you stated your not the authority on psp collecting. However I do have the experience and knowledge so we'll leave it at that. As for as UMD movie collecting goes here in the UK you won't find anybody with the same experience other than a good friend of mine on another forum. I don't think It's wrong either to state you have more experience in one subject after all that's why people are chosen for specific jobs. So we'll agree to disagree.

I think you're out of your depth here. The UMD video format was designed specifically for the psp and each has it's own identification number on it's spine this indicates it's part of a library. As I said it's part of the psp UMD library of psp games,movies and interactive/music UMD's. If you think otherwise I suggest you ask Sony. UMD = Universal Media Disk.

[hydr0x]

I'd suggest you actually start reading posts before you reply to them. Even better, try to comprehend them.

Your first reply makes no sense, You specifically stated that you only own about 300 games because you only buy the good ones. Hence my point that you wouldn't want to be called a fool for that either. Reread what I said: "Curious how you want every bad movie but not every bad game." Then try to actually understand it. Then think about your reply...

I'm not even sure why I'm arguing with you anyways, as you've taken the same passive aggressive approach again that I warned you about. Keep on like that and you'll leave me no choice. I won't even bother to answer your second reply as not only did you manage to mix up your own terms (PSP library, UMD library), you're also still dismissive of other people's opinion, only accepting your own OPINION as fact. So, I urge you, before you continue running straight into a ban, reconsider your attitude and try to contribute to threads like this in a constructive rather than aggressive and destructive manner. No one cares if you have a better collection or not. As you will see in countless other thread people are very positive about people posting impressive collections that make their own look small. That's no problem, quite the contrary. What is a problem is you crashing in here claiming everyone else is wrong and has ridiculous collections, just because yours has more movies and whatnot.
