ho... while seeing the topics regarding gd-r sales etc a question came up for me: what do those of you guys who buy spindles of gd-r's actually use them for? collecting, or actually burning things onto them? f
this was meant to be a serious question... i might be able to supply a few gd-r's to people who would actually want to use them for devving or stuff... f
I plan on doing a "service" for board members in getting the data from their Devkit-Harddrives and burning it to GDRs ...
I wouldnt want people burning too much on gd-r. Simply because you will know someone out there will burn some game on gd-r and call it an original. I wonder how much a prop arena gd-r would fetch on ebay only for the buyer to be worried that it was actually the released version burned onto the gd-r.
what are you calling an "original" ? I don't think that any GDR of Propellar Arena is really an original ... I don't think that there's a difference between a Prop Arena burned from a Dev-Kit now and a Prop-Arena burned from a Dev-Kit back in the days ... of course it is a different story, if its a rip of the game with downsampled music or vids, which is only burned to a GDR instead of a CDR .... the service I would want to offer should be for people who want their games from Dev-Kits to GDR (to preserve them and play them on regular dreamcasts), I don't see the point in burning a ripped version to a GDR other than selling it on ebay ... having said that, I don't think, that a GDR of an unreleased game is worth anything after the relase of that game ... but its a different story than that with REAL originals like the Flintstones White Lable ...
With the somewhat large amount of discs showing up all it takes is a few people to burn some unreleased games onto gd-r to simply make their money back or get a rip of a game like prop arena and sell it on ebay. Also i personaly think that a game being burnt inhouse at sega (or whereever) has much more value then the one that some guy made in his room to try and make a few hundred on ebay. Nah im not saying anything about your service. Just saying in general with so many discs flying around you have to watch out for the gd-rs you buy now more then before. Well im pretty sure there are people willing to pay top dolar for the orignal in house burnt gd-r of prop arena...
