Thanks to Kotaku's article https://kotaku.com/ps2-manuals-archive-scans-4k-playstation-…

Kirkland said he dropped about $40,000 on his U.S. PS2 collection as he methodically bought every U.S. release over the course of 22 years.
His 4K U.S. PlayStation 2 scan set is likely the largest, highest-quality collection of video game manual scans publicly available

      probably not, since that listing says it is for PAL releases. USA will be NTSC releases. I'd throw a pinch or two of salt at his asking price anyway..

        Some games are extremely rare and expensive. Why do you think it took 22 years to complete the collection.

    For those that are interested in emulation and gaming in general, here is the list of all notable consoles/systems. They're listed from the slowest to the fastest, grouped together in terms of "console generation" and includes handheld devices as well. In brackets, I've put how much storage they consist of for the entire collection. Sometime Later I will try to limit each system, something like the Top 50 Games each, calculate the storage amount, then list out each title for you.
