Do you now collect games/consoles, SW?

I used to simply trade my games in or sell them on eBay when I was done with them. I used to get rid of my old consoles and the games on it too.

BUt then I decided to stop, and now I never sell my games (unless I really dislike it) because I want to collect them.

Heck, I even went to the store and bought plenty of PS2 games that I missed out on. I also now rebuy them, and all my other sold games so I can have them in my collection.

Do you do the same SW? I recently bought some of the older FF games on PS2 that I sold. I'm going buy the J&D series on PS2 that I've never played....although I can't see myself doing a full playthrough of them any time soon. :P

What do you do, SW? What do you think of it?

I wouldn't say I collect them, but I do buy older games quite often :) Of course I like my PC way more, and like to be able to chat with people, and listen to music while I play, so I've started doing certain things to play my collection of old games on a newer machine :shock:

Now all my old games are just sitting under my bed except for this copy of NBA Jam which is sitting in this Sega Genesis, and obviously my copy of Rayman 2 which I keep close to my heart :oops:

I figure if I was a collector I'd want my walls lined with all these games, and to tell the world how much of a gamer I am! But you know? If they were gone tomorrow I might only cry a little bit :P

I usually just buy games new and keep them. I only take them back if I really hate them. This gen it has only been Prototype, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, and Prince of Persia 2008

I usually keep a game I've enjoyed so that I always have a playable version on hand (in case I ever want to spin it up again). Games I've disliked, however, I have no second thoughts selling or simply discarding. Consoles, on the other hand, I always keep for collective reasons. :)

Yeah I've been collecting for several gens now. I rarely buy DD games because I like to see the physical copies on my game shelves. And trading games in is just like throwing money down the toilet.

I have only ever traded in games once and that was this year and they were the crappy games I got with my psp, I have a big game collection dating back to my sinclair spectrum for which I own over 80 games :?. I have offered to sell them to make space but my wife won't let me because she thinks it would upset me later down the road :oops:.

As anyone who actually knows me on this board knows I'm a huge video game collector of modern games. This generation alone between the PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP & PC I have over 1,200 games.

Some of my collection can be viewed below but the pictures are old.

Anyway, I traded in some games when I was younger however I stopped the moment I made the foolish decision to trade in Pokemon Snap.

Yes I still have my old consoles and games from the SNES on I also bought an NES in 2005 with some games.

I don't like the feeling of selling my games I always regret it.

I don´t think I can be called a collector but I rarely sell my systems and my games,so I have a bunch now since 1989.

I've been collecting games and consoles for years, though I don't have every game and console I used to have, I do it with most of them.

As the case with a lot of posts up here, I wouldn't consider myself a collector, its just that I love videogames,and have since I was a kid, and played the Sega Master System. I've kept every system that I owned and now I still have a Genesis, Turbo Grafx 16, N64, Dreamcast, Saturn, 32X add-on(only a few games for it),Jaguar, Gamecube, SNES, 360,PS3 and PS2. I still would like to add a Neo Geo,3DO, PS1, and NES. I'm turning my garage into a game room and I plan on hooking up the old systems to a regular CRT tv, so it will keep that retro feel, and hook up the next gen consoles to the flat panel. So I think it's best to play all the great games across all the great platforms, because each one has at least a few great titles that are worth experiencing. That's why it is hard coming up here on SW and debating your loyalty to a preferred console. I'm not really loyal to one or the other, I just have console preferences, and that's what fuels the debates I guess.

I collect both consoles and games. Much more than just that, I love some of the artwork that comes with them. Have some 2500 games, own most consoles, and even have some Arcade PCBs in my collection. I never sell.

i collect all systems

but i stopped collecting them since backwards compatibility came about on systems

but i keep all the games i had for all my systems except my ps2, because i have been having financial problems lately and wanted some collectors editions on ps3

i still have nes snes sega genesis sega cd 32x ps1 ps2 but i dont have a ps3 because of yellow light of death

i used to have a turbo graphx 16 but i sold it because all of its games worth playing are on virtual console

i used to have a n64 but i sold it because all of its games worth playing are on virtual console

never had a sega saturn, didnt like it

never had a xbox or xbox 360 because i didnt like it

never had a jaguar because i didnt like it

never had a 3DO because i didnt like it

still have my virtual boy though and game gear, although the sound on my gamegear is broke/low, and my virtual boy stand has a crack on it

I never sell anything.

I usually keep all the games I buy. The only game I returned this gen was FF13

i wasnt aware people even did this. Do most gamers sell their games once they're done?

I keep every single game unless its utter crap. I especially would never get rid of my old games (too much nostalgia)

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"][QUOTE="TheColbert"] That's just ridiculous. Why would you spend that much money on games? You better make a lot of $$$.IceBlazerX

I do consider myself a collector of some sorts.

I mostly either collect artisticly impressive games or based on who the developer was.

usually when i buy good games that i really like, i tend to check out the developers who made them and see if they made any other games. So i usually collect their other games aswell.

This has happend with many games. After i played okami i became a fan of clover, so i went out and bought their other games, like god hand. Then when clover went bankrupt and the members of it left and made platinum games, i started buying their games. Bayonetta and Vanquish.

Same happend with Retro Studios, Level 5 and Grasshopper manufacturer

[QUOTE="IceBlazerX"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] I spend that much money on games because it's been a hobby of mine for many years and I enjoy collecting things. Well yeah, no one buys my games but me so, I'd have to have a good income.godzillavskong

Considering there are no "kiddy" games of any kind in my collection, the answer would be no. Also, where did you get this idea that in a thread about gamers collection you'd only see people with small or moderate sized collections? I'd like to know that and would recommend for you to be less of an rude person.

I don't consider myself a collector but I hate selling or trading my consoles or games I still have my MSX, Megadrive, NES, SNES, 3DO, Neo geo, SEGA saturn and all my other consoles and handhelds with all their games which I bought :P.

I still have a crap load of PC games, but I'm by no means collecting stuff. These games & consoles are worth too much money to just have them sitting around.

Exactly, I won't say how much I make but it's more then enough to support essentials and my gaming purchases. My gaming collection isn't even that big compared to many of the gamers who are 30+ years old I've seen on various forums lol.
