I was just wondering if anyone here actually "collects" video games.

Not really. When I don't play a game for a long time, I get rid of it. Only games I own are Uncharted 2, MLB 11 the show, and Modern Warfare 2. Only games I need.

I keep every game i buy. Getting rid of games is a terrible idea, I have gone and replayed metroid and zelda games many times over. I would never get rid of any of my games.

I have all the games I have bought or received in hardware purchases over the years, maybe close to 60 games over 11 years.

Not really. I collect all the games that I want to play or will eventually get around to. :)

I play all the video games I get, I rarely sell video games, I've collected a lot over the years, and I don't play a lot of them anymore. But I keep them just in case I want to play them again someday.

But I don't collect video games just to say that I have them like a typical "collector."

I'm not a collector in the sense that I'm trying to collect every title for a certain system, or trying to collect the rarest games deliberately. I buy games that are worth buying, and if they end up sucking then I sell them. Since there are a lot of good games out there I have quite a few.

I don't really collect games, but I do keep most of them. The only ones I get rid of are ones I am almost absolutely sure I won't play again.

I have the Zelda's Collector's Disk, if that counts, but not really, I prefer using Steam nowadays.

I'm not sure if this falls under your description, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

I'm a stickler for sequels and follow-up content. Once I play a game and like it, I will buy every DLC, expansion pack, sequel and prequel to that game that I can lay my hands on at first sight, regardless of critical response or consumer sentiment. Collector's and Limited editions also fall under this, and so do merchandise like toys, soundtracks, statues, comics, novels, keychains and even stationery.

Does that meet your criteria?

I'm a video game collector as well as player. My collection is currently around 2,500 games I think (I haven't counted in awhile.).
