Покупать игры на дисках в 2026 — хобби или инвестиция? Коллекция игр на PS2, PS3, PSP, 3DS, Switch

For over 10 years, I've been collecting video games, consoles, and gaming merchandise. During this time, I've accumulated over 400 gaming items: from rare PlayStation and Nintendo discs to collector's editions, steelbooks, Japanese releases, and portable games. In this video, I'll explain how I started collecting games, why I never bought them as investments, the principles I use to select new titles, and why, for me, the value of a collection isn't in the price, but in the memories, the packaging, and the ability to insert a disc into a console at any time. In light of the recent news that Sony is phasing out discs, this will be especially relevant in 2028 if Sony, and then everyone else, stops releasing games on discs. For now, let's seize the moment while physical releases are still a part of gaming culture. I'll show you my favorite games for PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PSP, PS Vita, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. I'll tell you why I love Japanese editions, color manuals, first-print editions, steelbooks, and unusual collector's editions, and I'll also show you some truly rare finds I managed to snag for next to nothing. 00:00 — History of the Collection 00:32 — Blu-ray, Movies, and the First Game Shelves 01:40 — PS3 Collection 11:12 — PS4 Collection and Steelbooks 12:54 — Rare Games and Complete GOTY Editions 18:37 — Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Collection 20:42 — PS5 Collection 21:20 — Why the PlayStation 2 is My Favorite Console for Collecting 21:39 — How the Collection Came to Be 22:16 — The Best PS2 Finds 29:40 — PSP Collection and Rare UMD Discs 39:09 — Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS 39:06 — PlayStation 1 and the Legendary Black Discs 40:54 — PlayStation Vita 42:06 — What's Next and Plans for the Collection Do you collect games, or have you long since switched to digital versions on Steam or subscriptions like Game Pass and PS Plus?
