A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

As a word of caution for those buying physical used games on Bluray, check the disc for holes. (programming.dev)

While for the most part this kind of damage is fine (this game is playable), it's questionable for how much longer. If you have the hardware or the capability, always remember to back up your physical games.

PS2/PS1 throw it into a DVD player Ron a PC and rip it.

PS3 you'd need to homebrew it. Same process to get the files ready to play on RCPS3
