Cool MSN video about Digit Press owner







This is pretty cool.

It's an interview with Joe Santulli, owner of Digital Press and a look into his collection.

Pretty nice store he has, I'd go a lot more if I still lived in North Jersey.

  • I've been to his store... its really cool. I was in the basement there too, where all of his overstock is and stuff. So many games.
  • Yea the store is fun. They have those monthly nerd gatherings that I've yet to go to, but do plan on it.



    How'd you get to see the basement?

    Well, I went during a monthly nerd gathering (NAVA), and I'm tight with the DP guys, as I've been a mod over there for years.

    ...well obviously he mentioned there are two of those ... so you have to collect the other copy because Joey is not selling his
  • I should really go check out his store.  I live in South Jersey, I'll have to take a ride up there one day.

    On Joe's Blog he had a post about the whole shoot for the "Collect This" segment he did. He talks about how it was heavily edited. He mentioned in that post how he wasn't saying to collect his one of a kind proto but for collector's to be on the lookout for protos of other games as they're highly collectable.

    The editing does make it appear fairly WTF is he talking about how am I supposed to get his copy.
  • Awesome video, If I ever make it up that far north I want to stop by digitalpress.

    Haha, yeah, you could tell the people who edited it didn't really get what he was talking about.

    Cool.  Does much trading go on or is it mostly just people hanging out and playing Rock Band?
  • I was in his store once....when I met with Buyatari to pick up a NWC. It's definitely a pretty amazing store. I saw the basement too and it really is quite amazing how much crap he has accumulated that has just been building up.
  • Yea, I wonder how he amassed most of it? Like, whether it's mostly from customers at the store or if it's acquired from other venues like ebay, craigslist, yard sales, whatever.

    Umm... when I was there (only once), there was a lot of trading going on. But I've seen the pictures of recent ones, and that seems to be all they're doing. I'm sure there is always a lot of trading going on, but they don't really make for good pictures. I picked up a bunch of CIB NES games when I was there.
  • Most of you know me, and I'm always the type of person who has to prove things with pics. Here's me in the basement!:

    He told me when I was there that it was mostly excess crap that he acquired from customer trade ins. I remember him telling me that he routinely gets so many copies of Max Payne that he doesn't even take them anymore.
  • funny video...was it just me or did he look a bit wild eyed watching those clowns grab at his boxed one of kind irreplaceable atari games?
