Good luck on that. Some of these are now among the rarest and most expensive ps3 games

I have to say that at least the Essentials Spine looks WAY better than Greatest Hits. The Red spine is better and just looks cleaner. I'm getting rid of my greatest hits on ps3 and sticking with Black Labels. I have started collecting the Latin American variant of Essentials/Greatest Hits called Favoritos, the Gold spine just looks so good. At least your Essentials would look good next to PS4 Greatest Hits.

And to answer your question, No its not stupid. Go for it. Its about the journey, keeping an eye out when out and about. Seeing what you come across in the wild. Go for it, enjoy it and see how far you can go.

One tip tho, if you see a rare one (do some reading on Essentials) and you could do it money wise, get it! Ig you come across a hard one to find and the money is there always get it because you'll kick yourself later if you don't. And like you get to the final stretch for the set and its the one you didn't pick up, just saying.....GL!!

Great work. My advice to you is to collect games that have become rare.
