Collecting goals for 2007

[OatBob]

Well, there's no way I'll be able to "top of the Dreamcast collection" by the end of the year.  I did however pick up a PS2 and a ton of games, as well as an Xbox 360 and Halo 3.  Looking at a goal for next year... top off the Dreamcast, and get a ton of last gen games.

[Tondog]

Well, how have I done so far?

Get The Neverhood for PC complete in box. (Not CIB, but still in case with manual)
Get Shenmue 2 for Dreamcast. (No)
Get Rez for Dreamcast. (No)
Get an N64. (No)
Get a Sega Saturn. (No)
Reach 100 PS2 games. (No)

Whatever. I did get a PS3 and a DS this year, and I'm happy enough with that.

[Alx]

Just a small list that I plan on getting at the end of the year:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
PS3 or a new Xbox 360
God of War II
Silent Hill
SHADOWRUN (unlikely; SNES version)
Parasite Eve

I'm surprised I haven't posted in this yet...

My goal is to surpass at least 300 different NES accessories before the end of the year (including variants)...and 600 NES games. 

Well, glad that I surpassed both of these goals recently...and there's still a couple of months left in the year!

Deciced to add a "ranking system". It is mostly based on my prejudices towards systems and which ones i can get cheapest. Also if i keep being  CIB snob then it is going to be VERY hard for me and cart based stuff...

EDIT!
YEAH THE RATING SYSTEM BE DAMNED I WAS ABLE TO DO IT!

15ish away from US MK home consoles releases
5ish away from US MK handheld releases

I may have set my goals a little high this year... in my defense i WAS working at a game store at the time...

I never posted any goals for this year but I did FINALLY complete one from previous years which was to finish adding my collection to the database. The PS2 was the last batch I was sitting on and I finished loading them a few weeks back.

looks like I accomplished my lone goal. though it was a carry over.

[Ghost Soldier]

My 2007 goal was to break 1000 games and accessories.  I surpassed that in june/july and closing in on 1500.

Shifting from casually collecting to making it an active hobby, my collection skyrocketed this year...this Spring, I started getting really into PSX and N64 collecting after the GameStop liquidation, and began going yardsaling and checking CL often...I went from single-digit numbers of PSX, N64 and DC games to 300+, 150+, and 20+, respectively.  I also doubled my collection of NES games to about 200-300 and my SNES collection also broke 100 as well.  I've also hit 60+ PS2 games (newest additions include the entire SMT series) and 45 DS games, as well as going from a half dozen to 50 Sega CD games.  I've been picking up so much stuff lately that buying games tends to pay for itself when I flip my duplicates online.

I did manage to get my hands on Suikoden II (Bought it with guide for $75, sold the guide for $60, net cost $15) and Earthbound (part of a large collection for $80), so I am quite happy with my progress.  My third crown jewel was found in a thrift shop; I stumbled across a mint complete copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 (DC) for $2.79.

I failed my goal of getting every 7800 game released, since I decided to get rid of any games I didn't play.

Broke 3 more goals since my last post.

Nintendo DS i have at least 35 games now.
Xbox 360 sitting at 22ish games now


I think that is going to finish me off for the year...
6 out of 15. Not as good as my previous year but i set alot more goals and alot higher ones this time. And i came damn close to completing alot of them.

Plus life kinda thrust me into the real world for no reason. Man life changes the rules to much :-/
