I've kept pretty much all my games over the years. I know it sounds stupid, but there is just something inside me that wont let go. :P Like there trophy's or something. :lol: Plus I loves lining them all up on my shelves. Do you guys keep them too or not??

I like to hold onto particular LE (Limited Edition) games such as Shadow of the Colossus or Ico or just some of those games that are enjoyable to replay once in a while (The Longest Journey, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island).

But with a majority I feel the need to free up my shelving space even if they are some of the greatest franchises. Why did I sell Secret of Mana on the Snes though? I have no idea..

I hold on to all of my games! :D

I keep them for replay value. Before I picked up Test Drive Ultimate last week I was playing through Oblivion again.

I pretty much keep the lot...I've learned lessons from other people. So many of my friends regret selling their SNES or N64 and games. :P

I usually prefer to sell the majority of my games once the generation is nearing an end. Only keeping certain titles which I hold in high regard.

I usually keep all mine but there are a few that I will sell. I tried to trade PDZ in at EB but it was only worth $11 because it was one of the games that comes packed with the console or some shit.

I traded in Dead or Alive 3, Enter the Matrix and and Mechassault when I bought Guitar Hero 2. I just never played those games and they were nothing special. Oh and EtM was a pile of dog turd.

I hardly ever sell mine. Only back in my days of relative poverty.
And now I'm regretting selling Future Cop LAPD and Unholy War something fierce.
Not making that mistake again.

I've never once sold one of my games. The CC (Caveman-Complex) sets in with me. My shiny trinket stays my shiny trinket. Plus, you can never get good money for selling second-hand games over here. I know someone who bought some Splinter Cell game new, for €60 (the week it came out), to have the price literally crapped on when he sold it back to the shop he bought it from several days later for a shitty €12. :unsure:

I keep most of mine, cause I buy them cheap, and won't make much by selling the anyway. So it's just better to have a bigger collection, plus, if I get bored I have a lot of choices. I've only had my 360 for a couple of months, and I'm already up to 15 games, with another 2 in the mail.

^ I know how that feels, I'm on 22 360 games and I still haven't had mine for a year yet. Granted, you'll be ahead of me before I do hit a year into my 360's life but then, you have more money than me. ;)

To answer the thread, yes I do keep my games even if I'm not playing them anymore. When I was younger I sold a few games and regretted it immensely, so yeah now I refuse to sell anything. It's just lucky that the games I do own, are ones I enjoy eh? ;)

If I don't think I'll ever play it again then I sell it.

It's not really that I have more money, I just refuse to pay full price for them. Forza 2 collectors edition would be the most expensive at $79. Most of them were less than $50.

I'm the same if it isn't a bargain I will really struggle to pay full price the majority of the time.

I'm quite the same, which makes my current employment extremely convenient.

When you've blown all your money on games and can't afford more, get a job in the industry to get them cheap :)

I actually had a look at my games, here what I paid for each;

Condemned = $30
Crackdown = $72
Dead Or Alive 4 = $25
Forza 2 = $79
Dead Rising = $31 ($62, my brother paid half)
Gears of War = $37 ($74, my brother paid half)
Kameo = $13 ($26, my brother paid half)
King Kong = $30
Ninety-Nine Nights + At World's End = $105
Perfect Dark = $40
PGR3 = $25
Prey = $25
Ridge Racer 6 = FREE (A friend got it for me)
Saint's Row = $50
Star Trek Legacy = $37 ($74, my brother paid half)
Viva Pinata = $35

So as you can see, the majority of them were nowhere near full price.

Do you want me to cry with jealousy? No, then shut up!!

:P

I don't mind waiting for games to drop in price, or searching the 10-20 odd games sites to find the best price. Plus, having a brother that will pay half on some games also makes it easier.

That's actually the way I have gotten most of my 360 games too. Most of my purchases have either been off various forum users after they're done with the game/s, or for cheap prices in various sales.

I don't really have an issue with paying full price for something that is newly released though, if I really want the game anyway.

$80 is probably as "full-priced" as I'll go. I sure as hell ain't going to pay $100+, which is why I haven't gotten Guitar Hero II yet.

Guitar Hero I'd gladly pay $120 for.

Yeah, you never seem to get enough money back on games you sold, then when you go to look for them, you remember that you sold it for 5 bucks, when you have a huge urge to play it.

Kirby Canvas Curse, looking at you here...

after i get sick of a game i put it on ebay, cause i know i wont wanna play it again, then i just buy the next one i want :D
