I've seen mega collections like this before and I'm never impressed, because you know he hasn't played even 25% of those games.
After watching the video I'm a bit more impressed. He owns a shop, and actually has good knowledge of game collecting (so it seems). Still I'll never get collecting that many games.

Thats Joe Santulli ... he runs www.digitpress.com
Most of those games are for his store in New Jersey..
Which is a really great store to check out in the Clifton NJ area. Always has a wide selection of games to choose from. Few AES carts as well.
Holds Monthly tournaments and such too.

So it was Digital Press --I wasn't sure if was the same one or just happened to share the name. I don't hang out over there, but I know they have serious collectors (and pretty strict forums).

The way those twin freakish cock-knobs were handling his shit would have made me flip the fuck out. When cock-knob #2 was pulling the arms on the R.O.B. I would have backhanded the shit out of him.
Oh, and I wasn't impressed

Nice collection but im definitely not impressed. We could all ove thousands upon thousands of games if we bought every piece of shit that came out.
Also, why were they giving him credit for downloads?

Not impressed either. Anyone of us could do the same thing, but I'm more of a quality over quantity. I like having a good sized collection of all good stuff. It's the ultimate Blockbuster.

Everyone in the thread said:
Given infinite time and infinite money? I don't think people give these serious collectors enough credit - it takes a lot of time/effort to source all of that stuff for reasonable prices.

Not me, I would never be able to come up with the money needed to amass 30k games.
I mean, even if he only paid $10 per game it still would be $300,000, and I bet he paid much more for some titles... that's nothing less than insane if you ask me.
He either has extremly good dealer/distributor connections or has more money than it would be good for him... no prob with collecting stuff but that's not collecting, that's an extreme case of hoarding.

Ohh shit..
Thanks.............................
I still have a lot of stuff,my system amount numbers and game amount totals were pretty high.. but I've I sold off a lot when I got into the MiniMotoGp racing..
And I still am in the process of still selling stuff off..
I'm just having too much fun racing these little Pocketbikes .....I still game but am not into the game collecting like I used to be.
I've actually kept more of my quality stuff,...ultra rare stuff..items that are on display and or that I play..(or my Son plays)
Cabs will never be sold and some of my favorite items...(except the woody and Klax
)I know Joe real well,He has to be one of the nicest people you'll ever meet...I go to his store often ..and trade stuff in..Many members here know Joe and go to his store/NAVA meetings..
He's the real deal...His collection is amazing..He does a lot for video gaming in general.....He really knows his stuff..Has a Great store & great knowledgeable staff..
DP stors is one of the places in this state that is a must go to..It's amazing..

As Chris1 stated, the Digital Press store is one of the best locations I've come across that deals in older systems. At the end of every month, there's a gathering at the store in which people can come in, trade games, play in tournaments, sell gear, and etc. The other cool thing about the store is that they stock up on current gen domestic and import games from time to timeas well. I'd rather go to Digital Press than Gamestop due to the choices of past and present gen consoles/games and the fact that I'm 5-10 minutes away. Joe (the owner) also hosts the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. This is the first year in which they had to cancel it (probably due to location issues). From my understanding, he also used to write for a couple of hint book companies.
I've met a couple of people from the board (both DP and N-G.com) over there and there's always a 2 slot running Samurai Shodown II. So far it's been a great place to chill and talk about games.

Yeah, I was 'bout to say, that's Joe from digitpress.com
Good for him and his store that he got the 5 minute feature. It's refreshing to see a gamer being poised and not coming off as some creep on camera. Joe represented the "gaming community" well in that clip.
He seems like a good guy, and it's a cool vid.
30,000 games is insane too. I topped out at around 1,000 games or so before I sold over 100 Saturn games to clean up some clutter.

I would be pissed off if I had half that many ROMs.

Am I the only one here that loves video games, but is embarrassed by video gamers? I feel bad for this guy, because you know that there's one thing he just can't seem to collect... and that's vaginas. I love gaming (I mean, I fucking love it) but I sort of hide it in "real life". Sure, go to my basement and I'm fucked since there's a shit load of games down there, but beyond that I don't.... I don't know... I don't advertise to people how much it really means to me. Anyone else?
