I usually trade them in fairly quickly after finishing. Sure I keep a few each year, but for the most part I trade them in. I was in Gamestop last week and saw a copy of Resident Evil 4 for $9.99. It's been several years so I replayed it and am having a blast. Kinda makes me wish I would just keep them all. Do most of you keep/collect or trade in.

I try to keep mine but everynow and then i need help paying rent or bills (curse being a broke college student). I usually end up repurchasing them later if i trade them in.

I stopped trading in games after I got out of high school, and I regret every single one of them. So many nes, snes, n64, and dreamcast classics I wish I could go back and play.

I keep all my games, but I've decided I'm going to sell all my ps1 and ps2 games because I don't use my ps2 anymore, may as well have the money instead :)

I should try too, but I usually don't. I'm really good at wasting money. So if I get an urge to replay it.... I end up rebuying.

I have never sold any of my games which date back to the NES. If I'm ever strapped for cash I would sell some of them, but I'd try as hard as I could to hang onto my RPG collection since that is something I am quite proud of (plus it is getting up there in value and I'd like to see how far up it can go).

That's what I tend to do. I breeze thru a game, maybe play it on the hardest mode then turn it in within a few weeks to get 30-35$ to go for a new game. Then in a year or so if I feel like playing it again I go rebuy it, like last week with RE4 for 10 bucks.

Indeed. I am a collector, plus I don't like wasting money on worthless trade ins. Most of the games I buy (and have bought throughout my life) I can go back to at a later date and play them again (and have gone back and played several times over the course of many years).

As a collector, I usually keep most of my games, but sometimes I do trade in/sell off ones that I despise.

I used to, but I realized it was an awful lot of clutter and I rarely replayed most of them.

I've never sold a single game in my life. One of my friends, a former nintendo fan (thanks Wii...) now 360 fan, sold his Pokemon Red and Blue for 2$ a piece, along with Pokemon Yellow for 5$. If I could have, I would have bought them.But they were the only games he sold.Also, I did buy a Gameboy Color & Pokemon Crystal for 20$ off a friend, because he already had one.

Another friend, always xBox fan, sells all of his games he buys.. From CoD4 to GTA4, I wish he didnt sell them. Before I got my PS3 for Christmas, I had little resources to many non-Wii games, such as those stated. The only games he kept were Rock Band and GH3. Also, if he doesnt buy them in the first place, he will rent them. For like a month. Then lose the games. (i.e Far Cry 2 / Fallout 3)

In the end, I can't stand it when people sell their games.

Since I am never into collecting things, once I buy a game, I will play it until I become no longer interested in it anyone. Then I will sell it on eBay to get some or most of the money to buy it in the first place. Unlike the "hardcore" on the GameSpot forums, I see video games as interactive, but disposable entertainment.

Most of them. If I find a Playstation One game lying around I'll turn it into a frisbee for an hour and trash it. If it is a PS2 game, I try selling it for a few bucks unless it is a really fun one. I keep all PS3 games (because I don't have many) Oh, is anyone looking 2 obtain Grand Turismo 4:D

I keep all of them, even the ones i didn't like (Alone In The Dark), i love to see the side of the box, and see the name of the game, it always remember me of the good times i had playing that game.

What makes me cry is when he either uses a good game as a frisbee or puts a bad game in a crystal case while all others gather dust.

I used to trade stuff in, but not anymore. Within a few months I miss whatever it was I've played, and on occasions it turns out whatever I've traded in is actually quite rare and worth something. Plus I'm quite proud of my extensive collection.

Currently, all games I have purchased for my 360 are still there (except Just Cause, which is more of a kind of "rental", in that once I finished it, I traded it in for PDZ). Currently, I have 17 games.

I usually trade-in games, except free roam games (GTA) or games i buy to play with friends (Guitar Hero). Other than that they go straight to Gamestation.

I've noticed that I have a huge pile of games that I rarely play, yet for whatever reason I'm hesitant to sell them. o.o
