I have 4 games so far: Black ops, infamous 1, uncharted 1 & 2. So I can't consider myself a collector (had a ps3 for about 1 month now) but once I get more games I am going to keep em all haha.. :D

No, not really. I keep games I love and know I will want to play again. The rest I either sell or trade in.

Yup, I keep all games I buy, not only as I would replay them, but looking at the cover art from time to time, reading the manuals, watching my collection grow gives me a sense of satisfaction.

I guess I'm a collector. I've traded a few games in in the past, but I've kept almost all of them. I like watching my collection grow.

I'm a collector and I have around 2,600 games total currently. I became a collector a few years ago and have been happy doing so ever since. I haven't traded in a game since I was 16 (9 years ago). I don't like trading in games because let's face it, you get ripped off with trade in value and some games will become rare. I have games I won't play more then once but I rather have it on my shelf then trade it in for $5-$10.

I keep every game that I have played. I only buy a small fraction of what's published, but I am proud of the games that I have.

Damn. People have a lot of games here. I have about 33 games and thought I had too much. I only plan on buying Battlefield 3 this year. And maybe two other games next year. All the rest I will rent. Save so much more money that way (than buy and trade).

Same here. I may have breached the 100 barrier in terms of bought games, but only own about 30 as of now, and about 20-25 of them are "keepers" like Bioshock, Fallout 3, Portal 2, GT5, etc...

I fancy myself as a collector. I used to sell my games to Gamestop but I got tired of getting ripped off every time so I stopped. I love my growing collection because I always have something to play so I'm never bored.

i am definately not a collector.i usually sell off my games after hitting 150 mark meaning if i have approximately 150 games i sell the games i dont want anymore .so i just recently like a month ago sold 120 games .now i have like 2 xbox games and 20 ps3 games.\

i realised that it was a waste of money for me to keep games i have beaten and i never play them again so i sell them off

I sell off the games that I know I won't play anymore. Demon's Souls is definitely a collector for me.

I only keep the games I really like and then I usually trade the rest in. So far this gen the only games I'm hanging onto are Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Demon's Souls.

You could say that I'm a collector. I still have all my Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 games that I've ever owned. I also still have all of those systems in my possession as well. EDIT: I also have an Atari 2600 plus games as well as Pong. I believe the Atari broke many years ago, but everything else still works to this day.

I keep all my games. I used to get rid of them, but I now I enjoy getting a bigger and bigger collection. I'll buy really cheap games for systems I don't even play any more, just because I feel like it...

I definitely collect games for all of my systems. I currently have 211 games for my PS3 but that number will be rising quite a bit over the next couple of months.

I suppose I have become a collector in the last few years... I hover over shelves and bins and garage sales picking up games for past systems (and my PS3), buying games I wanted back when they weren't $1.99 for a copy. I just bought "NARC" for my Xbox a few days ago. I don't buy everything as a complete-ist would, when the game reviews well on a technical level I'll buy it, but a miserable title is not something I need on my shelves.

So, I guess I collect playable, "good" games. I put the word "good" into parentheses because taste is a very subjective thing. I have found pleasure in games like "GoldenEye: Rogue Agent" for my GameCube, though really, it's not what the broad majority of the public would consider a good game. I get a twisted gas out of seeing how the devs took movies which are sacred to a lot of people, and completely bastardized the stories and villian set to suit their own alternate-reality vision... A good amount of folks would look at it (rightly so) and decry it as against canon and there-for a bit of an outrage, and to a degree I do as well. But being an FPS junkie since "DOOM", and a Bond fan, I wanted to play through it. It's playable. And there are some interesting ideas with weapon wielding, and tech-super powers, and it plays at a silky-smooth framerate. There's really nothing to "hate" about the game, then or now. I just didn't buy it at launch.

All of the games on my shelf are, theme-wise, something I'm interested in playing or to preserve for future players... But since I'm not into RPGs like some people are, the "collection" is light in those areas... So it's hard for me to look at my library as a true "collection".

But I guess in a way, yeah, I'm a collector.

:P

I hold on to games I enjoy. I also tend to keep games until I beat them, even if I dont`t particularly like them. I keep seiries` such as Halo and Assassins Creed, I guess I see those as collectable. But I don`t seek out rare games, and I don`t have any games that I bought just to add them to my collection. So I have a collection, but I wouldn`t consider myself a collector.
