Do you keep your games forever?

[Shana]

What do you do with your games when your done playing them? I just have all of mine sitting around collecting dust right now because I just can't seem to decide if I will play them again if I should get rid of them! I know I'm not trading them into to GameStop or something, that's just a waste, but especially with the PS4 getting ready to come out I really don't think I need to keep them. Do you guys keep your games? Are any of you collectors?

Nope, I only keep the ones I really like and have replay value.
I give them some time, if the game is in my shelf for more than a month a end up selling it online so i can buy more games, or just trade it.
Simple yet effective strategy.

Nope I sling games on eBay and craigslist all day errday.

No seriously, I sell the heck out fo my games and I'll be selling them ALL as part of package deals with my xboxes I'll be selling.

I usually ebay them later although some of my fav's Ive kept for years,until recently..when I ebayed them too.

There are some games that are dear to my heart. These are the games that I hold on to forever like Xenogears, Tekken 5, Okami, Final Fantasy 8, God of War... However there are also some games that I just let go of and give to my cousin. I also sell some games when I really need cash. What do I do with the games that I keep? Nothing. They just collect dust in a corner. But I feel warm and fussy inside when I know that I have them.

I trade them with friends, but it's not always possible since some of my friends would usually buy the same game due to impatience. Some titles I will keep on purpose, just because I know I'd probably want to play them again someday. I learned this the hard way by losing many of my PS2 games due to negligence, and when I find myself wanting to play certain games there that I soon find out that I've lost, I end up kicking myself for it.

Nowadays I keep my games. When I was younger I used to trade them in or sale them though because I was broke. I ended up buying some of those games back because I regretted getting rid of them.

 

[themarting]

I try to keep them forever if i can, doesnt always work out that way.

I do still have my original dreamcast and a couple of the games, as well as the memory card i had in high school. Thats a LONG time...

Im honestly genuinely surprised with all the no's . I keep all the games i get whether i like them or not. I feel like once i get rid of a game i immediately want to play it again lol but i also like knowing i have a big library of games to choose from and ill have these games when theyll be incredibly hard to find when they get out dated.

I keep all my old games. I like to play them over and over to see how much better I can do. There have been only four games that I got rid of. Two of them I didn't like that much and I stopped playing them. The other two because I had better brand new copies of those games. Otherwise I keep all the games I like even thought I have beaten them. I don't really like to throw away good games.

 

[mareebaybay]

I won't lie I usually keep my games forever. I don't know why, I just always think about that day I may want to play it. I mean I think about "one" day in particular. I know its crazy, but selling my games just seem so useless, since you will never get what you spent back on them.

 

[kniera]

I trade them for other games through sites like Ebay alot of the time.

 

[dannyboy]

It depends on the quality of the games. If the games have replay value, then i will certainly keep them. I think it also depends on how much i think i can get for the games. I think if i can get a good price for them, they that definite factors into probably selling the games.

 

[BlackSolaris]

Keep everything, got to build my collection from somewhere, even if there is one or two titles that i regret buying that i am still up to sell them if i ever can.

 

[The Unlosing Ranger]

I like to keep them if I really enjoyed them. I sometimes get that need to replay old games I enjoyed so I like to keep them around. If it's the kinda game that I could barely even finish one playthrough of, though, I will get rid of it ASAP.

Yup, i do the same thing.

 

[Fleexie]

I keep my games.
I have only traded in games once, and yea to be honest I regret it because later on I found out I really wanted to play one of them... So yea lesson learned, never trade in games.

 

[ayinxx]

Ebay for me too or it depends on the game's playability...

 

[Banister]

I do sometimes other times I don’t. I usually keep games that figure lots of significance and provide a platform where I as the player enjoy playing it. However if I have downloaded it for money I cant just chuck it any howly regardless of how boring it is.

 

[GetFresh]

I usually keep them. However, I just recently sold most of my games to Gamestop (horrible decision). They gave me little to nothing for the games I had, but then sell it at $10 or so.
