Are you a traitor???

Excuse me :oops: I ment TRADER, as in someone who replaces your game for credit or $$ when your done with them.

I find myself torn. On one hand I'm tempted to keep them for the sake of having a "collection", but on the other I rationalize that I'd probally never play it again since I had beaten it. I have actually repurchased a game over a year latter to replay it. What do you do? Game$top, ebay, swap with friends, or keep until they collect dust?

Keep. I'm the kind of person who can randomly go back and play my older games, so I get my money's worth by keeping them.

I also don't like trading in because it hurts the industry and will help drive prices up.

I hope I'm never in the situation where I need to sell or trade my games to aquire new ones.

Each one of my games are special mainly because of the people that get me them, I couldn't give that away.

I don't sell or trade my games..

I treasure them, hoping that someday my children could still play with them and say;

"I wish I lived in the 90's.. I love you Dad, you are the best Dad in the world.."

I actually have my Dad's Atari 2600 with me.. including its game paks stored in ziplock bags.. its not working though..

I always trade games in. Sure, there's some games I keep but most I trade in.

Last year I bought about 12 Xbox 360 games and at the end of the year I owned maybe 4.
On the DS I have two games and plan on trading both of them in for Animal Crossing.

Well, if you don't play it anymore, you should sell it. I don't see why you should keep your video games on the shelf while others can enjoy them, and you could get money for them. Then you can buy new games.

After I sold Pokemon Pearl, I heard about Pokemon Farm, and I regretted selling it. But I found a few games that I wouldn't play again, and sold them to get Diamond. I still had my game and it was basically free with money left over.

I have only traded in 1 game. Every other game has been kept.Wiz007

Im sorry. I cant fight the curiosity. What was the one game!?

Wow, thanks for all the input! :D

I have a few jewels in my collection like my limited edition gold Zelda cart or my banna yellow dk & of course all the limited newer stuff like oblivion, halo, & gears. I think that an interesting point was made about driving the cost of the industry up, I never thought of that. I wouldn't mind seeing some research on that matter.

Great responses everyone thanks!

I buy only used games because I don't really see how you can damage a DS card so I usually get my 7 day money back guarantee until I find game that I likeeric252

I agree, I always try to buy used. That's what I did with CoD4 for the ds, good game but not worth spending $25 on without online support. I'm waiting for Iron man to show up used next.

I have kind of a weird system. If I don't like a game I naturally just trade it in for something better. But if I enjoy a game I keep it in my collection until the end of it's generation, then sell the console, the games, and everything else to get money for the new system. Ex: I had a GBA with some gems like Golden Sun, Mario & Luigi, etc. then I traded all that in when the DS came out. So far I've only traded games in to like a Gamespot, but I'm interested in trying the Ebay method and seeing what I can get.

I hope I'm never in the situation where I need to sell or trade my games to aquire new ones.
