You are stepping into another dimension, welcome to the Twilight Zone!

Have you ever bought a game, finished it, sold/exchanged it, then suddenly a few months later you feel you want to play it again? I am getting this compulsion with Bioshock. Now that the second is coming out and although it is a prequel, i just want to play it so badly! So, i am buying it on Saturday. And i also got Devil May Cry 4, because i liked it and i am realising that it will not be available as platinum, so it may disappear after a while. Like another game which i would like to find in my nostalgia trip, Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Ok, am I a bit crazy?

You'd think after the first time you re-bought it you would learn..

Anyway this happened to me with final Fantasy 12, i sold it because i thought it was too hard, then i started missing it and re-bought it and finished it, Now i hold onto it for nostgia reasons and wnating to play though it again...one day...oneday.

Well when you start using your own money and not your parents to buy games...Im sure your bi-polar disorder will go away......and you will question reselling...

Go to any other country in the world and try and pull that bi-polar crap.......Its mostly spoiled kids who have been babied and given what every they want their whole lives.....

Whatever you're trying to say, it makes no sense whatsoever, and makes you come off as a complete fool, congratulations.

Naw, you are not crazy. I did the exactly same thing with Bioshock but I saved myself 40 dollars in the process so that is not a bad thing. :P

HAHA i tend to do this a lot myself. I often trade in my games because I get it stuck in my head that i have to have this OTHER game, then a few weeks or months later i'm like "i kinda wanna play _____ again"

about 6 mo ago i traded in my PS2 and games, then a few weeks back i really wanted to play DMC3 again, so i had to go and find a used ps2 and DMC3... again.
really dumb.

I do the same thing often. There's several games I can think of right now that I have sold that I wouldn't mind playing again.

this si why u should never ever sell/trade ur games, u work hard for ur money to go buy a 65 dollar game just to sell it for less than half the price, but u think thats bad, i buy game after game after game, even though i haven finished the other games lol i have well over 50 games including psn ones, and honestly i probably only finished 10 or 15 of them lol the rest i play couple of hrs then switch to another game lol

I don't sell and rebuy games, you just lose so much value.

Bioshock 2 does make me want to pop Bioshock in and play again.

I almost did it when I was buying MW2. I'm in a wheelchair, and I had my Fallout 3 in my backpack so I can buy MW2 cheaper. Arrived at EB Games, I buy the game, full price, come back at my car... Oh damn forgot to exchange Fallout 3. Now I'm kinda happy cause I'm sure one day I'll replay it.... one day...

Apparently alot of people have this problem with the grand theft auto series, espcially San Andreas. They beat it and get sick of it, sell it, then 4-5 months later, you feel the urge to not necesserly todo the whole storyline again, but just to muck around, shoot a couple hundred people (sounds wrong, i know) steal some cars, run over some people, then have a 45 minute cop chase in one oif the best GTA maps i've seen from the series.

from typing that, i really want to play SA again lol, too bad i sold my ps2..GTA IV just won't cut it, i hope they make GTA SA again, but on ps3 with new sotryline and much better graphics.

oops bit of topic..kindda
