"I Own A Physical Copy Of...." Talkback

[Peter Paltridge]

There are less than three thousand people in the world who have a physical copy of Devespresso Games' Vambrace: Cold Soul sitting on their shelf. I am one of them. What wacky circumstances resulted in this, and how did I get to be so privileged? Find out this week!

For me, the biggest advantage of physical Switch games over digital Switch games involves physical games taking up less of the console's memory. I keep them in one case as opposed to their original packaging, but still hoard the original packaging due to Nintendo printing something interesting inside (such as the inside of the Super Mario Odyssey case listing the lyrics to Mayor Pauline's "Jump Up, Superstar!")

I own a physical copy of GTA 5. Just like the other 2% of the world.

This reminds me of how hard to find Yo-Kai Watch 3's English physical release is. They only released a certain amount of copies, and after that, you were out of luck, unless you want to pay $80 for it.

I just got a physical DVD of the movie I Origins. I don't think many of those were made. Also found a VHS of Madagascar, which is also supposed to be pretty rare, having been made close to the end of the VHS' lifespan.

My current white whale in terms of this kind of stuff is the VHS of the French movie Climax. A24 made about 100 of the things, in 2019 mind you, and they only turn up on Ebay once in a blue moon - and when they do there's typically some quirk preventing me from snagging it (as I write this there's one on Ebay but it only ships to the U.S. and not Canada).

also, I already shared this in the Wonderful World of YouTube thread, but Scott the Woz talks about Poop Slinger on PS4 and other rare games here:

This is the kinda thing I was complaining about. They just announced a physical for both Ori games, but you can only buy them at the same time in a box with a bunch of other junk that costs $150.

Forget the “Collector’s Edition.” I want a “Slow Internet Edition.”
