My Super Meat Boy CE came in today and yep, pretty shoddy package. The plastic wrap they used is like super cheap so the weighted figure's base ripped through it. Eventually, it's just going to dislodge from the tray and rattle around inside the box.

An update on this. So I got home and opened the envelope to discover that they sent me the PS4 version, not the PS5 as I ordered. Despite the little blurb at the bottom of the cover saying that a free PS5 upgrade is available, this is a lie. Putting the PS4 version into my PS5 shows the Full Game at Full price and no way to get the upgrade.

I also received the PS4 version when I had pre ordered the PS5 version back in January. I already put in a return request and, well, now this makes me think I'll just get another PS4 version.

[Kain]

I did a chat with Sony Store about the free upgrade.  They told me to contact the developer, Wired Productions, so I wrote them an e-mail about the PS4 > PS5 upgrade not working.  Waiting for them to see it and write back.  They're probably off due to the weekend.  They're not the only one who dropped the ball on this, the Evil Dead PS4 > PS5 disc upgrade is not working either.  I've got a response back from those devs letting me know they are aware and working on it.

I also got a PS4 version instead of the PS5 one I ordered. The PS5 copies do seem to exist based on eBay listings, but it's weird that the wrong version was sent out to so many people.

I ordered one PS4 copy and one PS5 copy off Amazon and was sent one PS4 copy and one PS5 copy.  However, I do not know if the PS4 copy I was sent was from my PS5 version order, and vice versa.

 

Both were floaters of course, but I expected that with Amazon and their shitty bubble mailers.

Unless you threw out the packaging already, you could check the tracking numbers against each order to know for sure which copy is from which order.

That's a good idea, but the packaging is already gone unfortunately.

Honestly for the trading card packs, if you like them, it's not crazily expensive. I mean I understand it's cardboard and it costs them cents to make, but cards are usually like $3 - $5 on eBay if you're interested in a specific one. So $6 for 5 cards seems reasonable.

The worst part is the number of cards printed... 80? If you get a booster box you're getting 216 cards in a box and an average of 2.5 of each card. Who would possibly want that? Would be much cooler if they had some really old leftovers and there was a possibility at getting some of 500+ cards through the history of LRG. Everyone's just going to get the same cards, whatever market there is for them will be flooded, and these won't be worth the cardboard they are printed on.

Plus I buy a couple of packs of sports/Pokemon/magic cards, I have a chance at a "chase" pull. A $50 mythic rare, a game used jersey card, a holo Charizard. What's the chase here? You hopefully get a $5 gold card?

I only ordered the PS5 version and they delivered the PS4 one. I got my replacement copy today and that was correctly the PS5 version. Just weird that it happened to a bunch of people for the same item.

Re: stuff

I limit my collecting not to cost, but to space.  I have a small game cabinet in the living room for modern stuff and an okay amount of small space in my office for retro.

I don't collect carts (DS, 3DS, Vita being the exceptions), complete collections, and limit duplicates to very, very select few games; even digital vs. physical, only keeping the digital, if the physical is insanely priced.

I only buy lots of new games when there is a Walmart clearance I know I can instantly turn that into profit at GameStop for games I want. Otherwise, I have a heavily curated collection of relatively modern stuffs.  Under 600 games (still a lot!) that I constantly Mari Kondo the ever living crap out of...

I have a local game store that I frequent that flips anything nerdy, so I bring them old figures, imports, and games, and they either give me cash or games.  I am not making a profit, but I turn old stuff into things I want to keep (like a lot of Switch, PS4, PS3 stuff into a clean copy of Koudelka!).

It's okay to collect, and it's okay to let go.  But speculating on the stuff is dangerous.

Add me to the list of people who received the wrong version of Martha is Dead from Amazon. Ordered the PS4 version and received the PS5 version.

[thormx3467]

Received my PS5 replacement for Martha is Dead today. How did they manage to screw this up so badly? I really thought I was a one off when I came to this thread to post about it.

This happens on a somewhat regular basis with Amazon when there is both a PS5 and a PS4 version of something.  I've had it happen 3-4 times in the past year and it's always niche titles.  Not sure if the distributor makes the error or if it happens at the actual distribution center.

I moved about 2 years and I misplaced all my reward tickets that they use to give us with purchases. I just found them and wondering if LRG still honors them. I have about 150 of them and they’re all tied to my account.

Pretty sure they won't. I also have some lying around.

Contact support and ask them.

Threw all of them into the garbage afterwards

The worst part is that LRG is selling out ALL of the customers who ever bought games from them by making those trading card promos worthless and overprinted.  I feel deeply cheated, sitting on well over 200 LRG games.  I hate LRG.

 

The lesson is that LRG stuff isn't really collectible, because they can always reprint it.  Pretty soon we'll be seeing blind 10-packs of Switch games previously released.

I started with LRG on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and quickly noped out when it was clear they were going to spray gaming diarrhea everywhere. I went back to them for any game I wanted to play that could put a physical copy in my hands instead of digital license. If you don't have this as your reason for buying their games, you're going to be unhappy.

[HaloGX]

Ugh. Dammit. Why can't these be regular retail releases?! The first double-pack did. Hell that one had a retail 3DS release.

[Midori Monkey]

I also got the wrong version of Martha is Dead.  I ordered the ps4 version and got the ps5 version.  I just got the replacement in and it was the ps5 version again

Never say never--there might be a "Deluxe"/"Complete"/"Plus"/"Whatever" Edition announced late this year for Switch & PS4 that gets a normal everyday retail release at $40.

lol very true. And very plausible.

[TheKbob]

Yea, unless you've bought one of the big ticket early hype releases (see Celeste, Pirate's Curse), there is no long term value in any of this garbage.  It's like Beanie Babies, the OGs were worth a lot, but the reprints and later stuff was just speculative plastic waste.

Spending $40 for a game that is $1 in a Fanatical bundle is not wise.  If you really like the game and want it physically forever (Bug Fables is rad), then know what you're getting.

I look at people swapping and selling their excess copies in Facebook groups and its always the "that game has been $3 on the eShop/Steam" titles. 

And they're all sealed.

[nagpo]

Suddenly LRG is releasing some solid games. wtf. I gotta get super sami roll

[NotNewHere]

I'm just waiting on to pick Contra and Rondo for Turbo announced then to cut ties with LRG if they don't keep taking their sweet time
