Collecting Goals for 2009

[NES_Rules]

2009 is practically here, so let's hear those goals.

[Sirgin]

My goals for 2009:


1. Buying a Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox.
2. Buying a PS3 and maybe an Xbox 360.
3. Buying 50-60 fun games. I'm not looking for anything in particular.


That's it. I hope I'll make it.

1. Sell off all my nonCIB stuff
2. Finish my CIB Metal Gear collection (US only )
3. Finish My CIB  Sonic Collection (Like that'll happen!)
4. Finish my Sega Console Collection (NonCIB, like that'll happen)
5. Work on my CIB N64 collection
6. Buy a CIB WonderSwan Color and/or Crystal and some CIB games

[BadEnoughDude]

Tough to say right now, but ideally:

1. Find a reliable, affordable and safe storage space for my games before I move to Portland.
2. Sell off duplicate systems/games.
3. Get an XBOX 360.
4. Fill in remaining holes in my PS2 collection.

Keeping the goals realistic and attainable for now, as I'll more than likely be bogged down with school/work after I move to Portland. Selling off those duplicate games/systems will surely finance my 360 purchase, and it's something that I can do at my leisure.

[Mr. Ksoft]

I have several goals as I still have a relatively small collection with lots to get.

In order of importance:

1.  Get a Sega Saturn, my little holy grail of collecting.
2.  Get a model 2 Sega CD
3.  Get a Sega Master System
4.  Get an Atari 2600 so I can play these games I have for it Completed March 15!  It's a 7800 but close enough.
5.  Sell off or give away to friends my duplicates and sports titles I picked up in lots.  I've never sold anything to others online before, so this will be a new experience.
6.  At least double the size of my TG-16 collection (which isn't too hard as I only have 11 games )
7.  Replace most or all of my cart-only Genesis games with CIB copies
8.  Hit 500 unique games.  Only need about 180 more games to get there.  Seeing as I picked up about 150 unique games this year but only got into collecting with 7 months left in the year, I think this is very possible.

I think these goals are realistic.  Let's see if I can achieve them!

[Moriya Hanzo]

After careful consideration, i have decided to go a little easy this year. I actually did one of these before the year started, and that was to get a PS3. Well here is the rest in order.


1. Get a Turbo Duo R (Top priority for me this year)
2. Reach 75 Psone games
3. Reach 20 Dreamcast games
4. Reach 15 CIB SNES collection-----Done
5. Reach 20 TG-16 games

EDIT: Reached the 15 CIB snes games (32 total)

[OatBob]

1.  Dreamcast complete.
2.  40K Gamerscore on Xbox Live (I'm starting this one late since my 360 is in for repair)

Hasn't Dreamcast complete been a goal of your for like, 3 years now?

Yes, indeed.  However, the year I initially set out to complete it I was a long ways off.  I now only need 65 titles, less than I had when I first set that goal, so I am confident that this will be THE year it happens.

PROGRESS
02009-01-01 _ 219/284 (77%)
02009-01-15 _ 229/284 (80%)

[cverz2]

Well I did this in 2007 and didn't come close except for one.  So I am going to be a little more realistic this time around.

450 total NES games ( need 58 )
180 total SNES games ( need 31 )
125 total Sega games ( need 33 ) and no longer buy them loose
100 total PS1 games ( need 12 )
100 total PS2 games ( need 14 )
100 total N64 games ( need 30 )
50 total DS games ( need 21 )
50 total GameCube games ( need 25 )
25  total PS3 games ( need 16 games )

Purchase a Dreamcast, Saturn, and XBox 360. And start collecting a few titles for each.

Hopefully I can acheive most of these goals. Shouldn't be too hard. Probably won't get the 360 until Christmas though.

Awesome!

[Tondog]

Stop being such a collector and start PLAYING games.

Also, I'd like to get a Saturn (and mod it to play imports and burned discs) or a modded PS2 (for imports and burned discs).

[Crabmaster2000]

Last year I completely failed pretty much all of my goals. This year im going to keep it a little more obtainable:

 1. Get at least 10 games off of my Gamecube wanted list
 2. Get at least 20 new Gamecube games
 3. Get my NES games to at least 200 unique titles
 4. Get my Virtual Boy games to at least 7 CIB different titles
 5. Get a battery for my Saturn so I can finally play Dragon Force, Shining Wisdom and Dark Savior (PRIORITY)
 6. Replace Pin connectors in both NESes (PRIORITY)
 7. Get 2 or more N64 controllers (PRIORITY)
 8. Get 2 or more SNES hookups (preferably S-Video)
 9. Get 3 new CIB Saturn games off of wanted list
10. Get 5 new SNES games off of wanted list
11. Get 8 or more Wii games off of wanted list
12. Get new shelves for game room (wont happen until I find a new home and move in)
13. Get at least 10 new arcade style games (PS,PS2,DC,NGC or Wii) to use with my new Arcade stick
14. See if I can fix Gamecube and Sega CD
15. Finish cleaning up all the carts/cases that need it
16. Box all loose N64 games after I get new shelving
17.Clean All NES Games (Priority)
18.Get Dreamcast Adaptor for Arcade Stick

Things may be added to this list at the year goes on, but as of right now I would be thrilled if my 2009 turned out like this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. 3/10 (Donkey Konga, Mario Superstar Baseball, Twilight Princess)
2. 3/20 (Donkey Konga, Mario Superstar Baseball, Twilight Princess)
3. 153/200
6. 1/2
10. 1/5 (Axelay)
11. 7/8 (Target: Terror, Metal Slug Anthology,Sam & Max, King of Fighters Collection, Geometry Wars, Blast Works, Nights Journey of Dreams)
13. 6/10 (Raiden III, Castle Shikigami 2, Metal Slug Anthology,Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Soul Calibur, )
17. Approximately 60% done

[Fuyukaze]

Think I'll keep it simple this year.

1.Get a PSP
2.Get the last 3 Atlus titles I need for the PS2
3.Get the last 5 Atlus titles I need for the DS
4.Get the last 2 Romance of the Three Kingdoms games I need for domestic consoles

I could list more but why?  I'll get more games.  That's a given.  I'd rather list off what I want most and stick with the easy stuff first.

[phoenix1967]
