I almost got Rondo of Blood on eBay the other day. Went for Exile: Wicked Phenomenon instead, which was the same price. Rondo, I'll just get a digital copy now that I see one is available.

There are a handful of games that I'm really interested in but can't justify the price of a physical version... Shantae, Twinkle Star Sprites, and the two Wii VC titles I nabbed today: The Dynastic Hero and Monster World IV.

I don't know if it counts, but I also bought Battle Princess of Arcadias, but it's digital only (unlike the Japanese version). And I got a second physical copy of Wild Guns Reloaded because I wanted the limited edition keychain

You're the one who determines what counts. Your list, your rules. Some folks don't count digital at all, some count them the same as physical, some do like I do and count digital but make sure it's denoted what's physical and what's digital. It's all up to you. We won't judge you (unless you like the Game.com; then I'll judge you hard).

Those in italics are digital games; those in standard font are physical. Anything crossed out has since been sold and is out of my collection, but I'm keeping those counted towards the YTD count since I did acquire them this year.

Good to know. I actually buy a lot of stuff digital these days. It's not because I prefer digital over physical. It's because sometimes I'm just dying to play something and don't want to wait for a physical version to get delivered. Plus, I tend to play multiple games at once, and having to keep disc swapping would get annoying.

I typically buy physical now if it's something I played and loved, so I want it on my shelf. Or something without a digital version, like Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection. Or if it's something retro, like my ever expanding Gameboy Advance Collection

I'll just list both in this thread

Go take a look at some of my posts on the last few pages of the Games Acquired 2016 thread.

I start off the year with Goodwill scores of Perfect Dark (N64) and Ed, Edd, n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures (PS2) for 3 bux each. Actually got Perfect Dark thinking I already owned it and was going to relay the good deal to a friend, but I guess I sold my copy so good thing I picked it up
