 |  Games

eBay user “videogames.museum” is unloading a trove of 6,850 games, 330 consoles, 220 controllers, and 185 accesories, with bidding starting at $550,000.

The collection has no offers thus far.

The eBay user explained that the collection is the result of more than 30 years of collecting games. “I just have too much things and the space to store them is finished long ago.”

The user, who lives in Milan, Italy, spent more than eight hours a day for the past two months simply taking pictures and cataloging the inventory.

The listing includes various collector’s items, including the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles pearl white GameCube, the Metal Gear limited edition PSP, the Hitachi Gamenavi Sega Saturn, and both the Bio Hazard Dreamcast systems in red and blue. A full list of items included with the collection is available here.

Last year, a French game collector’s eBay listing for more than 7,000 titles across 22 systems sold for over $1.3 million.

$250 gamepad-equipped tablet launching this spring

The gamepad-equipped, Android-powered Wikipad tablet will launch this spring, developers announced today. The 7″ version will be available at “leading retailers” later this year at $250, while the 10″ version is still in development, but not the company’s focus at present.

The Wikipad was originally targeted to launch at GameStop on Halloween, but was later pushed back. Explaining the delay, the company said it discovered a “flaw” during the pilot production run. This mistake was not one of the design team or its manufacturing partners, the company said.

“We needed the additional time to improve the controller based on those discoveries,” the company said. “During the delay, and after carefully listening to people who voiced their opinions regarding our initial price point, we decided to alter our product roadmap and make the 7” tablet at $249.”

The Wikipad tablet features an attachable dual-analog controller and a 7″ IPS screen. The device comes with 16GB of memory with a micro SD slot to support an additional 32GB of storage. The Wikipad table boasts a NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor and is “optimized for cloud-gaming.”

The Wikipad will support games downloadable through PlayStation Mobile, Nvidia’s Tegra Zone, Google Play, OnLive, and other forthcoming platforms.

Activision reveals new sales milestone for real-world toys sold in the United States since launch in 2011.

Over 100 million Skylanders toys have been sold across the United States, Activision announced at the Toy Fair 2013 this week (via Destructoid). In total, the franchise has generated over $500 million since launch in 2011.

The Skylanders series was created by Activision subsidiary Toys For Bob, which developed the original Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure and its sequel Skylanders Giants.

A third entry in the franchise called Skylanders: Swap Force is due out this fall from Vicarious Visions. As its name suggests, Swap Force will feature toys whose tops and bottoms are interchangeable.

Activision will have competition in the “toys-to-life” space this summer when Disney launches the first of its yearly Disney Infinity installments. Activision is unfazed by Disney’s entry into the market, saying it is confident Skylanders will remain the top-selling game.

‪Big In Asia Livestream Replay: Tales of Xillia 2‬

It’s funny that the guy clearly has absolutely no idea what he’s doing even though he’s trying to explain it. He’s wailing on an enemy resistant to physical weaponry, all the while doing 0 damage. Very rarely he exposes its weakness using a wind attack and begins to do damage, but at no point does he question why he’s doing 0 damage. If he had an elemental weapon (he should at this point) or at least used an elemental arte before every attack he made, he would be doing more than 0. The resistances and weaknesses are clearly shown at the top right when he is targeting which enemy to attack, not even in Japanese, so you really would have to have no idea what you’re doing to miss it.

In addition, I’m pretty sure the adds in that fight never stop respawning, so there’s no reason to kill them. This is all along with completely wasting overlimit mode, etc, etc. I’ve played through the game (I own it) and enjoyed it, and at this point in the game, this is all common sense, explained to you in Japanese AND you really should’ve figured it out by now, ESPECIALLY if you supposedly played the first Xillia (hint: it’s mostly the same).

Also, for all the people saying we didn’t get the first Xillia: we ARE getting it this year.
