i can really see why not being a fanboy isnt in ur list

btw why would u buy a 360 if u can get all the good 360 games on pc sooner or later
if u have the money the optimal combo would be pc/ps3/wii
pc/ps3 alone guarantees u get to play all the good 360 games

Buying sealed games is an investment...I have 3 hoping they'll grow in value. Oh, and Chronicles of Riddick and Geldeneye, FTW.

No, not limited production really...but not all games need to be limited production to grow in value. Look at FF VII, sold millions and worth $100 or so sealed. I currently have Suikoden Tactics, FF: CC, and MGS2 all sealed...I spent ten on each and hopefully they will grow to make me a profit sooner or later.(well I won't sell the MGS2, but the other two can grow if they are worth anything in 5 years).

I knew someone would say 40 year old virgin. Haha. Well, I already own the software, so I'll play it however I want to. And I am in the process of selling a lot of the stuff. I only plan on keeping my TG16 and 3DO collections. I am the original owner of the systems and have near complete sets. I even had a Kisado for the TG16.

"Now playing: PS3:Resistance, NHL 2k7
PS2: Final Fantasy 12, Bully
PSP: Lumines 2
PC: nothing
GC: nothing
50% cow 30% hermit 19% sheep and 1% lemming
pc: AMD 64 3200+,evga 7800GT CO SE,evga Nforce 4 mobo, (3x512mb),160 GB hd, 16x dvd +/- rw"

yeah, whatever.

In America they each had around 70 games, somewhere around there. But I got the PC Engine -> Duo/TG16 converter, so there are lots of JPN HuCards that I don't have.

Of course not, all the originals.

Wow, there's quite a few games based on movies/shows that were good. Spiderman 2, Chronicles of Riddick, the SNES Batman game, Goldeneye and you could even say the original Metal Gear.......don't be so harsh on the whole lot of them.

Here's my top 5 on what gamers shouldn't do:
1. Enjoy a game more just because on what system it's on, or because people you know says it's good.
2. Talk excessively about games in public or excessively use jokes from games - they're not funny the 4th time around.
3. Re-inact any action scene from any game: unless you're a professional mokap artist
4. Compare graphics of good-looking next-gen games to decide that one sucks (unless you professionally know that YOU could do better).
5. Pick up a game from EB (unless you preordered) - seriously there are better prices and deals than that **** Gamers are commonly fooled by EB because gamers think a store who specialises in games, must be also have the cheapest deals. 

1. Act like a fanboy (I think we can all agree on this one)
2. Hype games (guilty)
   
3. Collect games i.e. sealed/stored (they're meant to be enjoyed)
4. Buy games based on movies/cartoons
   
5. Trust retail employees.....(BB,CC,EB,GS,GC)

I would like some feedback if possible :D
If you disagree feel free to make your own list :)
