Lots of people pluck me in into what they plug in
For they do not need me to do what I give them
But they prefer me over the other
Because I’m more collectible
Everyone got to have me
For they need to give the price of sixty
But most youngsters have a collection of me anyway
And I’m coming in a box to them on their birthday

$\begingroup$ The question is being downvoted because it is a simple question. (being brutally honest) I figured out most of the question from a single glance. It is not very interesting to do. It may be hard, but not interesting. $\endgroup$– AzyncMar 28, 2018 at 11:26

$\begingroup$ −1 because (1) I have never heard the word “pluck” used in the context that the accepted answer suggests you mean it to be used. Nor can I find any such usage / definition in a quick online search. But it goes deeper than that. “Pluck” and “into” don’t go together; you pluck something from something. (2) “they prefer me over the other” seems to be your opinion. And maybe the opinion of 50% of the people who have an opinion. Or maybe 70 or 80% — but it is an opinion, and so not a great clue. (3) “Everyone got to have me” is clearly hyperbole — not to mention ungrammatical. … (Cont’d) $\endgroup$– Peregrine RookMar 29, 2018 at 3:11

$\begingroup$ (Cont’d) … (4) The “sixty” clue may be immediately meaningful to a small portion of the United States population — but not me, and definitely not my parents. I expect that it is known to very few people who do not frequent the US. $\endgroup$– Peregrine RookMar 29, 2018 at 3:11

$\begingroup$ Like dude, I do not even live in the US, these are not my prices, and it’s my first riddle, so like, some stupid shenanigans. $\endgroup$– maounkhanMar 29, 2018 at 15:33

$\begingroup$ It is a little wrong and can you be more specific on videogame? Like videogame isn’t the right word and the start kind of has wrong answers, so 55% correct. $\endgroup$ Mar 28, 2018 at 2:18

$\begingroup$ @maounkhan may be it is x-box (preferred over Nintendo) $\endgroup$– smritiMar 28, 2018 at 3:12

$\begingroup$ Nope, it has something to do with the actual videogame, he didn’t answer the second line correctly, same with the third, if he answered those correctly he would have the right answer. $\endgroup$ Mar 28, 2018 at 3:29

$\begingroup$ @maounkhan Could you give me a hint for line 2 and 3? $\endgroup$– AzyncMar 28, 2018 at 11:27

$\begingroup$ Video games have two methods of getting the game, so this is referring to those methods, and this method being the preferred the one most of the time. $\endgroup$ Mar 28, 2018 at 12:49
