Hi guys, just thought I'd make this as a sort of "Goodbye" thread, from myself to all you cool dudes who I've had the pleasure of sharing this passion with over the past 13 months!!
I made the very hard decision to stop visiting these forums and quit collecting steelbooks. It's been very tough to reach that decision...in fact it's took me almost two months to be decisive...but finally I'm there.
The game has changed SO much in the past 6 months alone. I have become increasingly baffled by the sheer volume of STEEL that is getting released worldwide this year. It's really mind blowing. For me at least, I've ran out space...money and love for all of the countless releases.
The fact that steelbooks are becoming almost like regular amarays now has taken all the collectibility out of the hobby for me. I just don't get that buzz anymore...it's not special for me.
I have a few GB's to honour but after those are all paid up i will be calling time on my collection.
It's been a blast! I've had some really fantastic banter on here, I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of such a passionate and intelligent community! This place is honestly heaven for a steelbook nerd like me.
That makes it even harder to leave, but I can't keep looking at all these wicked releases without being tempted to keep buying!! Haha, call me a sucker but that's just the way I am. I can't afford it anymore...need to think about the future, start saving some of my wages for holidays, weddings, a house...ya know?!!...important stuff!
So yeah, that's it I guess. I'll be selling ALL my steelbooks over the next 4 months. Not here...before you ask.
I just don't get enough buyers, haha!
THANK YOU to all the staff and fellow ninjas here for making my time within this community absolutely unforgettable!
HDN has set the standard for me...needless to say the bar is set VERY HIGH!!!
