Limited Run Games, putting digital games in your hands

[palmer6strings]

I got 2 copies of Soldner-X-2,
There is one more batch coming out in 20 minutes for those who did get in the first batch.

I was able to get a copy of Soldner and Breach & Clear for PS4 during their 6PM sale.  VERY happy to get Soldner, since i love me some shmups.

For whatever reason, they only allowed 1 per order at 6pm. I only wanted one, but 2 of the guys at the shop did too. We all logged into separate paypal accounts though and each of us managed to get a copy

From what I could gather, they limited it down to 1 per person on the second batch due to high demand.

I was able to get 1 of each in the morning batch.  Just got the games, skipped on the soundtracks this time.

How many of you guys open and play these?  I know I plan to.

Haven't played but most have been opened.

I will, i don't collect to keep the value high. I have opened all of mine except Octodad because I haven't had time to play it yet.

[BadChad]

My Octodad and Xeodrifter are still still sealed because I already have both of them digitally on my PS4. Soldner X2 I don't have digitally on my Vita so I'll probably open that one up.

[Bear78]

Mine are sealed but mainly because I haven't got around to playing any of them yet.  I tend to leave all games sealed until I get around to playing them unless there's some DLC code or something inside that has a time limit on it.

Well, if you guy open them, scan them for the cover project.

[palmer6strings]

I open mine. I don't really like to download games unless I really really want to play it and there isn't a physical release.

I feel like its irrelevant to scan covers for games like Limited Run releases. I can't really see there being a situation where someone would actually need a scan of any of these releases given the limited quantities and the nature of the hardcore collectors that buy them. I'm not saying they shouldn't be scanned, I just don't see why it would be necessary given how much little use they'd actually get.

Aside from archival purposes having them as a backup would be nice. You never know if your home will flood and ruin the cover or any other mishap. I do see your point though.

Well, the main ethos of the site is preservation.  For completion sake, I think it's important we have them.  Will scan mine as and when I open them (if they are still required).  For the moment, they are all still sealed, along with a huge amount of other stuff in my 'to play' list.

I've achieved all the covers I'll ever download from the cover project. My personal goals for TCP are archival. Plus, for some reason, we have members that like to make covers for their digital collection.
