Wii Warm Up: What do you do with your booty?

I look at what games are coming that I want and buy the best, I don't sell them for the reason that I really wanted them and they're really good for the above reason. I don't buy games very often because to me buying a game is a little more complicated than just going by a gmae and decide to buy it. My parents usually wants to know alot of stuff.

I used to sell games a lot but I only got a fraction of what I payed and felt like it was worth more just to keep them around. Better to get a few minutes of pick up and play time from an old game than pass it off for a couple bucks. Although, I'll probably get rid of my PS2 and games after I finish God Of War 2.

I ALWAYS save and keep all my games and systems. I did try the "trade for store credit" thing once and walked out feeling like a rape victim, so never again.

If it's a good game, I give it to my sister-in-law. If not, it gets sold or traded.

I tend to keep all f my games in my library, because sometimes it's fun to visit with an old friend. I am currently replaying Metroid Prime 2:Echoes in anticipation of MP3:Corruption.

Since I started playing in the 1970's, I have collected about:
350 Atari 2600
30 Atari 5200
50 Mattel Intellivision
15 ColecoVision
30 NES
20 GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Advance
60 GameCube
20 DS
10 Wii games

The hardest part of having all of these is finding the right place to store them. Most of the Atari/Intellivision/ColecoVision games do not have their original boxes, and none of the NES games do.

Only recently did I purge some games that were less than stellar when I sold my 'Cube after getting my Wii. The console and 3 VERY awful games brought in about $90.

I sell almost all of my PC games when I am done with them. As for console games, I hold onto most of them for at least a year or two before selling.

Usually I keep what I buy, but sometiems I'll sell if I haven't played it in months and know I never will again. Occasionally I'm wrong, and re-purchase.

The worst offender, is Sonic the Hedgehog. To date, I've had the game (or a compilation it was in) for the Genesis, Saturn, Gamecube, PlayStation 2, and now the Wii. And, now that I have it on the Wii, I cannot physically sell the game unless I sell the console itself. Which is probably for the best.

My family buys a lot of games. We just enjoy playing them, and we're also pack rats. We keep everything, even the crappy games. We sold about 3 games, and own over 300.

We also keep all the consoles. Even though we have a Wii now, we will continue to have the Gamecube. Hell, it's still hooked up in my room.

I just recently threw out a bunch of Genises games and the system because I couldnt find a buyer and didnt want it to collect dust in the closet... Oddly enough now im buying back all those games for the Wii...and yet it feels like a new game?
In my defense I have a kick ass entertainment center and it cant be cluttered with a ton of systems and games. 1 Wii is all you need anyways! :)

I keep everything I buy, Except The Elder Scrolls III and Fable. Those two games later came out with a special edition (which I bought) and I gave them to a friend.
I have 38 different systems (no dupes) and over 800 games right now. And that is after I had a bunch of my stuff stolen.
Cheers!

I used to sell all my games once I got bored of them, but now I'm going to start selling them on eBay so I can get more money.

I've ended up regretting every non-backwards compatible system I've ever sold (I bought another Dreamcast, and I might buy an N64), so I won't do that again. Selling my 20-30 Xbox games to buy a 360 was a sad but necessary sacrifice, I just wish I'd sold them on eBay for more money.

I believe that people should keep the old games and systems ; primarily because of the nostalgic feel they have after you haven't played one in like 20 years. I felt that with the NES after not playing it for so long. Dusted that baby off and it was like taking a trip through time. Feeling enhances the effect if it is the original system not a VC game on the Wii. But hey this is all about the opinions of others so I'll pass the torch, but for the record I keep all my old games if possible. They too are like a trophy!
