I have set myself a few goals for 2010 in terms of collecting games.

- Purchase ICO and Shadow of the Collosus for PS2

- Increase my collection of PS2 games to atleast 150 games

- Increase my collection of Xbox 360 games to atleast 60 games

- Buy atleast 2 collectors editions with games coming out this year.

Do you guys have any collecting goals?
Another update for my collectors goals this year I think.

- Still haven't purchased ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. I check Ebay daily and also look for them whenever I am in a video game store.

- I happy to say I passed my PS2 collection goal. My goal was to reach 150 games before the end of 2010. It is September and I'm at 154-155 titles.

- I'm 15 games away from getting my Xbox 360 collection upto 60 games.

- I have so far bought one collectors edition this year (Halo Reach) and there are many more games I can choose to get collectors editions for.

Still haven't reached my 100 DS games goal for 2010 yet. Getting very close. Would like to have 150 or 200 by the end of next year too. I no longer care about the previous goals for other consoles. I think I'm just going to focus on DS and Wii for now and occasionally get something for PS3 and PSP.

Wow, one of my main goals was also to buy ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.
And hopefully Deus Ex 2 Invisible War for xbox cause i never did play it and the third one if coming out next year.

Other than that im going through a tight period financially so ill be happy to just squeak out the major new releases for the rest of the year.

I think my PSP needs more love, too. I've only had it a few months. It feels neglect. Considering a Minis collection, but not sure how many of them are actually any good. Might update my goals to include PSP at some future point.

That's how i am as well, just with the Wii and GC. I gave up on the ps3/360.
It's hard to collect all the quality games on one console alone, not to mention expensive.

I only get five dollars a week (if I get around to doing my chores... stupid homework), so my goals are usually small, to fit the amount of money I have.

-Get Golden Sun: Dark Dawn on release date (I have it preordered)
-Get the Saturn and Dreamcast on Craigslist that are $10 total (I have to find a way to get to the seller, though)

...Yeah. I do want to have a complete N64 RPG collection (I'm already up to four), but I probably won't get around to that until 2011.

That was my goal as well, for 150 by January. I can think of at least another 15 or so games I want, but not sure if I can think of enough to get me to 150. At any rate, I don't think I'll make it.

My Amazon wish list so far has about 70 DS games I want, so I've got plenty to go after. Money's the issue. I only buy so much per month, so it takes time.

Well, I think I've done a pretty good job so far. The MAME arcade had to be put on hold, even though I have everything I need because we had to re-organize the garage. The deal on craigslist to get a working Sega Saturn and TG16 fell through, and I have yet to complete those.

Also, I didn't necessarily find my old SNES, but I did manage to find two for very reasonable prices at garage sales. I now own a model 1 and a model 2.

Current Goals:
Finish MAME arcade cabinet. (just need a monitor now)
Get a working Sega Saturn.
Purchase a TG-16 with games.
Purchase a PSP, preferably a 2000/slim model.
Sell off my duplicate SNES carts.
Shelve all of my SNES and SNES cartridges in order
Build a new shelf for my consoles. (I bought too many games this year, had to take them off the shelf to make room for cartridges)

I have set myself a few goals for 2010 in terms of collecting games.

- Purchase ICO and Shadow of the Collosus for PS2

- Increase my collection of PS2 games to at least 200 games

- Increase my collection of Xbox 360 games to atleast 60 games

- Buy atleast 2 collectors editions with games coming out this year.

So to wrap up last years gaming goals so I can start new ones.

I didn't manage to purchase ICO or SOTC for PS2 although I saw them both, I never had enough money to buy them.

My PS2 collection is around 160 so I failed to meet my 200 PS2 game goal

My Xbox 360 collection is 55 so I was 5 off of my goal of 60.

I did buy 2 collectors editions last year. Halo Reach and Fable 3! Goal achieved!! [luigidance]

Let us know how you did with your goals!

**I bought a media shelving unit from Best Buy. It works great for all games, with the exception of Sega Saturn cases. Video Here

Purchase a working Sega Saturn
Purchas a TG16
Get at least 4 more Mega Man models*

*I managed to get only 1 new model this year. It's still in the box it came from ebay in.
**I cataloged a ton of games this year, but I'm still sitting on nearly 100 to add to the collection.
***You can see my consoles sitting at the base of the shelf in the video posted above.


All in all, I think I did a pretty good job, considering most of my uncompleted goals were added in late into the year. Let's see what this year holds.

To purchase & add to my retro collection. Mainly a Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo.
Slowly we watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are
Stands before us...
