Obviously only for games you finished and/or don't want to play anymore. If you're keeping a game because you play it more or less frequently, it doesn't mean you collect it. (e.g. multiplayer titles, like FIFA, Street Fighter, CoD etc - if you play them actively).
I hope I gathered every type as I can't think of another one.
Personally, I trade in my games I have finished and gathered when I buy a new one and only keep games I actively play or just took a break from. Tho, I keep my favorite game around, but I'd still say I'm a "pragmatist".

I keep them in case I want to play them again year's later, or a friend wants to borrow them

I keep my games. I tend to buy games at discounted prices, and I replay games very frequently.

I sometimes feel as though life is a curse that has been placed on the living. I envy the unborn at times.

Keep all collectors or limited editions give away regular ass games to younger relatives.

Finished as in platinum I throw them on a certain shelf. But games where I gave them a good shot but didn't get into I just throw them in the closet. I don't really trade them back in because I always buy games used and by the time I am done with them I wouldn't get much at all for them.

I'd still prefer 5 bucks over letting them rot in the closet tho x)

I tend to keep most of my games but I get rid of ones that I just thought were okay.
Jan 5, 2013 3:12 am GMT
I keep all of them for collection, but I also tend to replay most of my games anyway.
Eventually I'll give a game a second chance years later and end up loving it, like it happened with Parasite Eve 2 for example.

I've only sold one game this gen (Guitar Hero 5, which I sold because I imported most of the songs from it onto WoR). There are a few that I really should have sold when I finished them to get more money back, but I'll probably end up keeping them all until I eventually get rid of my ps3, at which point they'll probably be worth about what PS1 and PS2 games are worth at the moment (ie loose change)

Collector. Never know when I'm going to want to play an old game again, plus the collection looks nice. Also, when buying used games, I'll buy the cover inserts and manuals if missing. I hate not having the full package.

I keep them. Not for collection's sake, but rather to be able to play them again whenever I feel like it.

I keep it so i can play later.

This.
Plus, I buy two copies of the games I enjoy most or highly collectible titles (sometimes second "copy" is digital).

I always sell them. Better off to get some money back for them while I can rather than let them sit on the shelf and become worthless.
