I sold my MGS4 to a friend for $35 so that I could buy Saints Row 2 from another friend for the same price.

I'm having so much fun playing Saints Row 2! IMO it's better than all GTAs and will surely be one of the best games of this gen.

I don't sell my games. I'm a collector. Even though, some of them were bad but I still keep them.

i dont see the problem with selling games... 60 bucks is alot to pay to have something sitting on your shelf when your not using it. i traded in silent hill homecoming and some other game i dont even remember... oh yeah it was soul calibur 4 for fallout 3... that was an awesome decision! i have no regrets

I did the very same thing! And I too love Saints Row 2 and find it better than GTAIV (but not better than Vice City). Too bad the game is so plagued with bugs. For weeks, I haven't been able to complete a certain mission because the game freezes at the end.

Now, not only does my problem remain, I now can't play for more than 30 seconds before the game shuts itself down and brings me back to the XMB menu (?!). But when it's working, it's one hell of a game!

It's kinda a matter of personality though. Some people just don't like selling games. I kinda regret it too whenever I sell a game. Even if it's a sucky game and I got a better game from it. It's kinda like losing a little piece of yourself.

LOL. Nah, they call him Dr. Feelgood because he lives in Portugal's Tinseltown!

About the topic, I sold AC to get Warhawk and I am very happy I did that. I don't like to collect crappy stuff... :P

I went through a massive phase of trading in games...and I regret it. I traded in some games which ended up being collectors items...PAL copies of Killer7 and MGS: Twin Snakes for gamecube, original MGS, non platinum copy, and a day one copy of Half Life for PC...

Is that an offense or harmless joke? I didn't get it.

Reporting? I never mentioned anything about that. Er the joke was kinda bad I guess cause it didn't really come from anywhere or make sense.

Here is the song though: doctor feelgood

I never in my life sold or traded a game before only once and that was last year when I bought Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the PS3, I simply couldn't complete it and I'm the kind of guy that when buying a game I try to finish it.

Back when people could still trade PC games, I traded in Rainbow Six Platinum Pack for $70 where I bought it for $50 for sale in another city a lil while earlier. Probably because it wasn't for sale anywhere near my area.

Sold Soul Calibur 4 to put money towards Resistance 2. I really liked SC4 , but R2 will last me much longer.

The game I almost sold but am extremely happy I kept was Burnout Paradise. It has so much replay, and Criterion keeps coming out with FREE updates for it.
