Well this is actually a question i'v been thinking about for a while. I'll just guess everyone knows about Earthbound here...CFFJR wrote:Question to any and all:
Would you spend a significant amount of money, say over $300, for an item that you want strictly to add it to your collection?
And follow up for those who say no, would you do it if you had the money for it free and clear?
I never actually played the damn thing in my life. Just a week ago I got a SNES emu just to try it out. I'm really not far into it...but all ready it just seems like a normal RPG...not something worth what 300+?
But I would like to own it...just so I can say I own it lol. I don't own "rare" games...I think the only "rare" game I own is a chinese version of the first Kirby game on the GB. I looked it up and it's quite rare, more so when the label says "For China Only". I don't consider it rare though...idk why.
Back on topic...i'v been thinking about buying Earthbound only because I might be getting into some serious money soon. My Grandmother just passed away and my dad is splitting whatever money is left from paying off debts and after being split between her 4 children, between me, my half brother and himself. Originally it was going to be split between my half brother and me, but we're low on cash so he needs some of the money to pay off bills and to go into the food budget.
I don't expect a ton of money to come my way after all of that...but still enough that I can rest a little easier knowing it's in my bank account in case something happens. Depending on the amount of money I may or may not buy Earthbound or something else pricy and somewhat rare I would never even think about getting normally. Like if it's over...5,000 bucks..I'll most likely buy that one rare thing as a little treat. If it's under 5,000...I won't buy something that pricy...I might buy maybe...50 bucks worth of good games that i'v been wanting for a while.
The last thing I want to do is use that money to feed my addiction...which is why i'm limiting myself to one item or one set amount. But also...I should use the money on something that's useful and I would spend more time using it...like a new PC. This one is...getting on in years and is having some real heat issues so I think it's time is limited.
Long post is long
