Now that my harddrive is always filling up, I find it quite hard to choose demos that I've downloaded to erase and free up space. Are any of you others quite attached to your demo collection?

No. As soon as I play them / buy the game those things are gone.

Trailers and such on the other hand...I have a hard time getting rid of those...

I erase trailers and demos of games I own. It also helps to have a 320GB HDD.

Nope.. if I own the game there's no need for me to have the demo.

I erase demos and trailers as soon as I get tired of them.

No, I don't really keep them for long. I have demos of MS: PR and Valkyria Chronicles that I'll probably delete soon.

Not really I don't keep demos in my HD after I play them, I just delete them and don't go back to again.

I keep some demos until I get the game. The ones that I kept for the longest include Uncharted, GT5P Demo, DMC 4, Naruto, PES 2009 and Megaman 9

Yea... I do the same thing. I don't delete the demos until I actually get the full game. Sometimes I have friends come over to play the demos as well.

whats the point of keeping them on the HD if you dont buy the game and you get the urge to play it you can always DL the demo again.. well unless you have a really slow internet connection and it takes 2 hours to DL

What I do with my demos is simply play 'em until the real game comes out, then delete

What I do with all the trailers I have downloaded, is see 'em once a week until the game comes out and then delete 'em also

Totally. I hate getting rid of Demos, especially if its a gmae that I don't want to buy, but still want to play around with. Its even wrose because a lot of times they will move demoes off the service, line PSN or Marketplace. I still have a saints row demo from befor it cane out and a Just Cause demo, its reduculous. The only exception I can make is if I get the game later on.

Demo collection? I usually delete the demo when I've made a decision to buy or not. After 1-3 plays. Demos are like clutter on my hard drive.

Idelete most demos after I play them, sometimes if the demo is really cool and the game is not out yet, I just leave it for a while to play it again, but they always get deleted at some point.

Some times it's just laziness on my part. One thing I would be keeping for sure would be the MGS4 trailers I've collected.

I am too. I remember when I thought that game memory was the only thing gigs were for. What an age we live in. Its rough but a 60 gig is enough... for now!

The worst part is I play action games, shooters, racers, download full games and have a couple betas. I'm fortunate but I hate choosing what must go, grid or SC4...

lol, I'm a packrat.

I don't delete trailers or demos unless I have the game.

I still have my MS: PR Qore demo.

It's my baby, and I keep it on there thinking I'm gonna play it one day eventually, but I'm probably not.

Not really, if the demo is bad I delete it. If I have the game, I delete the demos and videos.
