When I moved to Canada I gave all my PAL games and movies away, they wouldn't work here anyway. (2002)
I shipped the rest. You only need a contact address and have to pick it up at a warehouse after it arrives. It goes by units of volume and wasn't too expensive, I could have easily taken everything, I had lots of space left.

I got rid of all my PC game boxes (although unnecessary I found out later) and put all the manuals and CDs together. It's all still in boxes... Same with my Laserdisc collection, still packed away. My collection of ntsc dvds (I imported 90% of my movies while in Europe) is happily sitting on my shelves though.

I wanted to ship my 10k worth of home theater equipment even though I had to get a 750 watt voltage converter to be able to use it. I took the PC as well, might as well take the monitor and desk and some other useful stuff.

Thinking back, I should have taken a PAL tv and all my PAL stuff as well. I guess I wouldn't have used it long, yet it would be nice to have now. Boot up the Playstation, N64 and Dreamcast on an old PAL crt tv.


If you're not sure, pack it up and ship it. When you have kids you might get nostalgic feelings to play those old games with them. Although I guess the way things are going everything will be either remade or remastered by then :)
