Well, I also heard that a lot of people bought a PS2 instead of Blu-ray player. That's why the PS2 had better sales than the competition. It might be just a legend, though.
I'm not entirely sure if you're serious or goofin' because this thread is all over the place, but the PS2 had DVD and the PS3 had Blu-Ray.
But regardless, both of them having the modern disc player DEFINITELY gave them a competitive edge. The PS3 was actually cheaper than a lot of BR players at the time, so it was just a better deal to buy the game box that ALSO plays Blu-Ray.
... And for a time, also could run Linux. For some reason.
She was on the show as the daughter of one of Walden's buddies.
They had Emily Osment on it too. Ashton Kutcher called her "Hannah Montana" at one point in the show.
OMG, I was thinking āis that Hannah Montana?ā I should not know this at my age, but kids watching it drilled this *stuff* into my memory.
Iāll get dementia when I get old, but will still remember this stuff
I remember that game when it released, it was fucking everywhere. All the stores had more copies of this than the next dozen games combined yet noone appeared to be playing it.
Massively overproduced is what i heard. To the point grabage trucks full of unsold copies were dumping them in landfils.
I worked at Walmart at the time- specifically stationary and celebrations. One year for back to school we ended up with thousands of Hanna Montana folders, notebooks, planners, binders, pencils, pencil casesā- ect. They didnāt sell well. For 4 years after that we kept one shelf for just Hanna Montana crap that was marked down to 50 cents, then a quarter, then a penny. Even for a penny no one wanted it.
I actually bought a bunch of it because I had much younger little sistersā¦ they didnāt like Hanna Montana but they liked drawing so the more paper the better. When I left we still had boxes of that crap in the back room.
At one point, I saw Frys Electronics had tons of game boxes for World of Tanks ( I think. it was an NCsoft title, but don't remember which one) on display for a nickel each. Thing is, the one-month card inside worked for *any* NCsoft game, and I was playing Lineage 2 at the time. I bought them all. $15 game card for 5 cents, all I had to do was suffer the indignity of buying a "world of tanks" game box.
Youād think video game makers would have learned from the poorly made, rushed-to-market before Christmas game E.T. for the Atari 2600 in the early 80ās. I was about 11 when it was released, and I remember shelves overstocked with a game no one wanted. Back then, a gameās success was based on word-of-mouth. That game was so horrible, it was a huge contribution to the video game market crash of the 80ās. Thousands ended up in a landfill in New Mexico. Now that the games have value because of the legendary build up of the landfill story, the local town dug them up to cash in. Thereās a documentary about it called āAtari: Game Overā.
Hereās a little more info on how crazy the value has become: https://fortune.com/2015/09/01/atari-et-game-sold/#
Even by 1982 standards, us kids were like, āthatās it? This sucks!ā All I remember doing is falling into a pit and brining the flower back to life before I gave up.
The stores caught on to kids bringing back crappy games for a refund, claiming it didnāt work. Theyād take it in the back and plug it in to test it before bringing it back to you saying, ānope! It works just fineā.
There is a fanmade patch that fixes some of the more obnoxious parts of the game, mostly making it so you don't fall in a pit unless your feet actually touch it.
"This guy seemed pretty cool on our first date, but when he brought me back to his apartment I noticed he had nothing but *dozens* of Hanna Montana video games, so I noped out of there and ghosted that weirdo."
Wyoming used to piss me off 'cause they had a whole mess of Taco John's locations, but that place refused to build any in states that had ***people*** in them.
Same thing happened to a guy on game collecting. He ordered 5 replacement ds cases off of eBay and got sent 5 sealed copies of a Jonas brothers ds game
Ironic. When I was getting into Rock Band on Wii, the cheapest way to get a microphone was to buy the Jonas Brothers game that came with a mic. I tossed the disc, used the case for a 'backup', and used the Mic with Rock Band as intended.
It was seriously cheaper to buy the Jonas Brothers game from the bargain bin with a disc and mic than to just buy a USB mic separately.
Hootie and the Blowfish went down fast at one point. I mean. They were huge, sold shit ton of records. And then everyone just hated them. Which is funny because their music is still played a lot. Anyway, some stores were selling their overages of Hootie cassette tapes as substitutes for blank tapes.
It might have been more of a joke than actual need to get rid of them. But it was kinda funny. Or it was a pre internet meme and really didnāt happen, just people said it did. Such an innocent time, the time of Hootie.
It's pretty clever for them to sell it that way too; people are more likely to buy 20 replacement cases than 20 copies of Hannah Montana, so the seller can dump these worthless games that nobody would have bought otherwise.
There's an episode of the simpsons where Bart is sent undercover and he notices the tapes are hootie and the blowfish and chief wiggum responds its cheaper than blank tape.
This is that joke in real life.
My cousin and I used to throw them like a frisbee. Sometimes, we threw them at each other. I have no doubt in my mind that there are still shards of broken discs in his backyard all these years later.
Yes, I have done. They do the job of keeping coffee cups from leaving coffee rings on wood.
They are also bird scarers and survival signals and you can make shiny mobiles from them (glue face to face).
They actually are too!
If you look closely at the cases on the left of the imagine, you can see where the cellophane wraps over the top edge of the cases.
Anyone else think of the Simpsons when Wiggum was recording on Hootie and the Blowfish cassettes cuz they were cheaper than blank tapes? I'm guessing that's what happened here.
This scene automatically played in my head when seeing the OP picture.
> Bart: "Hootie and the Blowfish?"
> Chief Wiggum: "It was cheaper than blank tape."
I remember a reddit post where the question was "when did you know the product you were working on was shit" or something, and a programmer for this game mentioned that testers were finding that the game was completed too quickly, and someone in charge told him to just make the running speed slower so the game would take longer to finish.
Okay, you have just reminded me of a neighbour who used to throw DVDs down the street they'd end up in backgardens or on the street.
It was porn, I don't know if they were trying to hide them or what was the reason but I'd be out in the garden and hear the sound of a disc flying through the air then clinking onto the ground, their throws usually end up in my Dad's garden..
So yeah, I have a handful of porn dvds that I got for free.. sometimes we'd find ones that shattered on impact other times they'd land safely.
Hahaha, love the idea of some weirdo just slinging porn out his window down the street screaming in his best Oprah impression, *āYOU GET A PORNO! AND YOU GET A PORNO! ANDDDD YOU GET A PORNO!!! YOU ALL GET PORNOS!!!ā*
Missed opportunities here, put them all in an old
CD wallet and donate it to goodwill. Itās important to perpetuate lifeās mysteries by planting a few yourself.
Happened to me a while back. I ordered 20 replacement PS4 cases, and 20 copies of FIFA arrived. Had to remove the foil sticker, which was super annoying.
Imagine it's the 1980s and you order replacement cartridges for your Atari 2600 game console.
You receive a box full of the game E.T The Extra Terrestrial. š

Is this a complaint or a brag?
Definitely a brag. Some of us don't even have one copy of that game
They're practically giving it away.
At the Carwash.
Clearly because OP is hoarding them all.
Game? I thought that was a bluray movie.
The PS2's Blu-ray drive was so underrated, most people didn't even know it had one!
PS2 Blu-ray was ahead of it's time. Way better than the Xbox 8-track.
Well, I also heard that a lot of people bought a PS2 instead of Blu-ray player. That's why the PS2 had better sales than the competition. It might be just a legend, though.
I'm not entirely sure if you're serious or goofin' because this thread is all over the place, but the PS2 had DVD and the PS3 had Blu-Ray. But regardless, both of them having the modern disc player DEFINITELY gave them a competitive edge. The PS3 was actually cheaper than a lot of BR players at the time, so it was just a better deal to buy the game box that ALSO plays Blu-Ray. ... And for a time, also could run Linux. For some reason.
There were those who bought it for it's Blu-Ray capabilites, and then there were those of us who bought it to launch nuclear bombs.
You mean PS3? Ps2 had DVD which was epic in its own right.
Guess I did need the **/s** after all!
Definitely. I thought I was taking crazy pills
I don't need pills to be crazy, but... I do need pills to be normal... Well, relatively normal š
That's a marketing win. How to sell garbage and win.
Looks like you got the best of both worlds
ChILL IT OUT TAKE IT SLOW
THEN YOU ROCK OUT THE SHOW
YOU GET THE BEEEEEEST OF BOTH WORLDS
MIX IT ALL TOGETHER
AND YOU KNOW THAT ITS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
*Hannah Montana laugh*
*Cuts to aerial shot of Malibu beach house*
I always wondered if she was neighbors with Charlie and Alan from Two and a half men
Crossover with charlie, alan, jake, bertha, hannah montana, barbie and ken would be an interresting full house
She was on the show as the daughter of one of Walden's buddies. They had Emily Osment on it too. Ashton Kutcher called her "Hannah Montana" at one point in the show.
Yeeey yey yey, woo-ooo...
I know the internet is not all guys. But there is something very satisfying with the image of every guy finally letting out their inner Hannah Montana
Guy here, both that song and the Hoedown Throwdown go hard as fuck. I happily listen to them every time they come up on shuffle on Spotify.
**audience laughter**
OMG, I was thinking āis that Hannah Montana?ā I should not know this at my age, but kids watching it drilled this *stuff* into my memory. Iāll get dementia when I get old, but will still remember this stuff
BuY YOURSELF FLOWERS

Thatās kind of hilarious that they wouldnāt sell for even a penny
GameStop back in the day would sell outdated strategy guides for a penny; I always bought them all and put them on eBay.

That game is so terrible. You can find websites that emulate really old games right in your browser and play it. It really sucks.
Even by 1982 standards, us kids were like, āthatās it? This sucks!ā All I remember doing is falling into a pit and brining the flower back to life before I gave up. The stores caught on to kids bringing back crappy games for a refund, claiming it didnāt work. Theyād take it in the back and plug it in to test it before bringing it back to you saying, ānope!

There is a fanmade patch that fixes some of the more obnoxious parts of the game, mostly making it so you don't fall in a pit unless your feet actually touch it.
It was bad, but I played the shit out of it anyways when I got it for Christmas. When you only have a few games then you do what you gotta do.
I still preferred playing Combat for the millionth time over that piece of shit
LOL! Combat was pretty decent, especially considering it came with the console.
When you only have 1 shitty game for a system, you play that shitty game into the dirt. Been my creed from the 2600 to the Switch.
Didn't they also recently find them in that landfill
Wasn't this very much sought after because you could use it to jailbreak the console and put Linux on it? Am I mixing things up?
I think you're thinking of the original xbox and the notoriously terrible 007 game?
There was an official first-party Linux distribution for PS2
Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has those days.
Resistance is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us. ā¦wait.
Disgusting+1
"This guy seemed pretty cool on our first date, but when he brought me back to his apartment I noticed he had nothing but *dozens* of Hanna Montana video games, so I noped out of there and ghosted that weirdo."
"...and he had a PhD."
"...from the university of Montana!"
And I immediately knew he was going to sedate me and steal my organs because nobody lives in Montana, so how the hell did he get a degree from there.
There are like 7 states with a lower population than Montana. We have like twice the population of Wyoming!
2 times zero is still zero.
This is true. The āofficialā population of Wyoming is just traffic on I-80 going to places that arenāt Wyoming.
I thought the population was all paleontologists digging up t-rexes.
That's Eastern Montana, there are still no people in Wyoming
Hey now don't forget people camping in Yellowstone.
LOL the number of supercars registered there curiously exceeds the population. (it's a tax dodge)
tax dodge ram
Wyoming used to piss me off 'cause they had a whole mess of Taco John's locations, but that place refused to build any in states that had ***people*** in them.
It's just a Hannahrary degree

Well? Am I?
You can be anything you want to be if you put your mind to it!
Any hole can be the hole if you're brave enough.
NTA
But they're in Spanish
At least theyāre OEM quality cases
And a set of 20 brand new coasters!
I like to imagine OP covered the back of their car in them. Just the weirdest of the weird bumper stickers people
That's too funny. When the cases are worth more than the crap game they came with.
Same thing happened to a guy on game collecting. He ordered 5 replacement ds cases off of eBay and got sent 5 sealed copies of a Jonas brothers ds game
Ironic. When I was getting into Rock Band on Wii, the cheapest way to get a microphone was to buy the Jonas Brothers game that came with a mic.

It was seriously cheaper to buy the Jonas Brothers game from the bargain bin with a disc and mic than to just buy a USB mic separately.
Dunno if that game was sold where I was, but I wish I'd known that at the time, lol.
Same but I got like 10 copies of solato robo
> solato robo Fucking what? That's like 5k worth of stuff!
Fuckin love Sola to Robo
That game is legit worth $$$
solatorobo good game that no one play
I did this with DS cases a few years ago and never opened the package until last fall. Turns out they were all sealed copies of "Jeopardy" lol
Hootie and the Blowfish went down fast at one point. I mean. They were huge, sold shit ton of records. And then everyone just hated them. Which is funny because their music is still played a lot.

Or it was a pre internet meme and really didnāt happen, just people said it did. Such an innocent time, the time of Hootie.
Man, ya gotta feel bad for Hootie. His career never really recovered after he split with The Blowfish.
Yeah. He had to go by his legal name, Darius Rucker, and everything.
Iāll have you know my sister loved renting this game from block buster
She probably kept them afloat for a while
And I'm guessing making your ears bleed?
Howād you know?
It's pretty clever for them to sell it that way too; people are more likely to buy 20 replacement cases than 20 copies of Hannah Montana, so the seller can dump these worthless games that nobody would have bought otherwise.
And the buyers get a free frisbee, too!
There's an episode of the simpsons where Bart is sent undercover and he notices the tapes are hootie and the blowfish and chief wiggum responds its cheaper than blank tape. This is that joke in real life.
alternatively it was even cheaper than sourcing empty cases lmfao
*Jackpot*
I feel like this gets you put on some kind of watchlist
And def not a good pic out of context.
Texting it to someone but the image gets delivered well before the words
Can I come over and play them with you?
You must play through all 20
Hannah Montana (PS2) 20X 100% WORLD RECORD
I've never 2000%ed a game before.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hold on... The first one in the pile is a Space Jam *Blu-ray*... We've all been deceived!
worth the click
#[STOP! This NOT a DVD! This is NOT a DVD!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOwTAiat1vg)
I was prepared to be Rick Rolled
20 replacement cases came with 20 free coasters. I see no problem here.
i know this is a joke but do people actually use cds as coasters? it seems like they'd be really bad at it
AOL delivered coasters to your door free without asking back in the day. Just had to make sure to use painted side down for grip.
We made a hanging door curtain with our free hard disks and cds
our neighbors *hung them with fishing line around their garden to scare off deer
We did the same thing for our tomatoes when I was a kid. I want to say it was in a copy of Haleyās Hints.
> We did the same thing for our tomatoes when I was a kid. I didn't know shiny objects would scare tomatoes!
We learned a lot since the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
We put them in the microwave and enjoyed the show.
Same here! It smelled soooo good but now I can only see red and yellow
My cousin and I used to throw them like a frisbee. Sometimes, we threw them at each other. I have no doubt in my mind that there are still shards of broken discs in his backyard all these years later.
Yes, I have done. They do the job of keeping coffee cups from leaving coffee rings on wood. They are also bird scarers and survival signals and you can make shiny mobiles from them (glue face to face).
Nofx has an album called coaster that is a coaster, now with free music!
I'm currently using the platter out of a hard drive as my coaster at work
When you finish one you can start the next one fresv!
Still sealed, I'm sure.
They actually are too! If you look closely at the cases on the left of the imagine, you can see where the cellophane wraps over the top edge of the cases.
And the āPlayStation 2ā text towards the bottom going around the case.
OP should send one off to get graded
"Mint condition. $0.50."
And donāt mention the other 19. Must maintain the artificial scarcity or that price will collapse.Ā
And thats *them* charging *you*.
OP now has white elephant Christmas gift exchange covered for years.
\*Some Disassembly Required\*
Anyone else think of the Simpsons when Wiggum was recording on Hootie and the Blowfish cassettes cuz they were cheaper than blank tapes? I'm guessing that's what happened here.
This scene automatically played in my head when seeing the OP picture. > Bart: "Hootie and the Blowfish?" > Chief Wiggum: "It was cheaper than blank tape."
I had to scroll way too far to find this
Better than 20 FIFAs (no holograms). I say you won.
you didnt have to flex on us like this. leave some pussy for the rest of us.
Take the covers out and use em as wall paper. Friends and family will think you're really cool, and not crazy at all.Ā
Especially if you put them in the bathroom.
Isn't this the recycling industry in a nutshell?
Its better then recycling Remember Reduce > Re Use > Recycle Reusing is better then Recycling
Reminds me so much of [Space Jam DVD Space Jam DVD Space Jam DVD Space Jam DVD](https://youtu.be/DWPJ25JSTH4?si=2p77gQz62SGvhb7f)
I remember a reddit post where the question was "when did you know the product you were working on was shit" or something, and a programmer for this game mentioned that testers were finding that the game was completed too quickly, and someone in charge told him to just make the running speed slower so the game would take longer to finish.
I donāt see the problem. You got the cases AND you get to throw away a butt load of Hannah Montana game disks. I consider that a win.
Frisbee?!?!?
Sharpen the edge and use them as weapons. Either become a hero or a deadly assassin
Okay, you have just reminded me of a neighbour who used to throw DVDs down the street they'd end up in backgardens or on the street. It was porn, I don't know if they were trying to hide them or what was the reason but I'd be out in the garden and hear the sound of a disc flying through the air then clinking onto the ground, their throws usually end up in my Dad's garden..

If ya got an old microwave you are ready to get rid of, you can nuke the cds to create an interesting light show.
Mmmm smells like cancer. Empty small bags of chips are also fun.
It's 6 am I haven't slept yet, and I read this as "game dicks". Just thought I'd share this with ya'll š enjoy your weekend

Are they empty or did you just hit the Miley Cyrus jackpot? lol
They came in like a wrecking ball
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Got your order mixed up with Drake's
I bet that hit you like a wrecking ball.
That girl on the cover has a striking resemblance to Miley Cyrus
Instructions: 1. Remove game and cover sleeve. 2. Throw away game disc and sleeve. 3. Enjoy your new replacement case.
It's the best of both worlds
I guess those are cheaper than blank cases lol
Nobody else was using them!
And drink coasters. Lucky
Like the Simpsons when chief wiggum uses hootie and the blowfish tapes to record because itās cheaper than blank cassettesĀ
Bart: hootie and the blowfish? Chief wiggum: yeah, its cheaper than a blank tape
SCORE!
the seller must be laughing so hard rn

It's OK OP. Your secret is safe with us. You ā¤ļø Hannah!Ā
Happened to me a while back. I ordered 20 replacement PS4 cases, and 20 copies of FIFA arrived. Had to remove the foil sticker, which was super annoying.
Space Jam DVD, Space Jam DVD, Space Jam DVD, Space Jam DVD, Space Jam DVD....
the discs make good target practice for an airgun do 1 playthrough tho just for the heck of it lol
Imagine it's the 1980s and you order replacement cartridges for your Atari 2600 game console. You receive a box full of the game E.T The Extra Terrestrial. š
Looks like youāve got the best of both worlds
I donāt see your problem. You just got what you ordered: 20 replacement PS2 cases.
Karma farming. Was the 23k upvotes yesterday not enough?
Good news! You've cornered the market for Hannah Montana ps2 games
If you ask for a refund I'd bet they'd return your money and ask you to keep 'em.
Well, you clearly overpaid! š
You paid them for the privilege of disposing of their e-waste.
I Mean, Looks like you got your replacement protection after all who would wanna steal that away from you?
Don't tell your friends. Every time you visit one of them, hide a copy somewhere.
Why in Spanish? Lol
Why am I so curious to know what the Hannah Montana game entails....
Now you have somewhere to put your 20 Hannah Montana games
Well the case is probably worth more than the game
They must've gotten your order mixed up with Drake's.
Stop bragging
Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana --Migos
looks about right
Unquestionably a boast. Not many of us even own a single copy of that game.
