Collectors. Pack rats. Some gamers collect their games, others trade them in once they're finished with it. I myself am a collector, and I feel guilty when I trade some in. In fact, I eventually rebuy that same game when it becomes cheaper. I have to get the Collectors Editions with games and some movies. I'm rebuying my entire DVD collection into blu ray currently, and I don't reget it at all!
I think of a collection as a status among gamers. The bigger, the nerdier it is, the more gamer you are. I know this is not the case, as you can have tons of games and not game at all, but if the person has gaming paraphinalia around them, it's likely he's a hobo because he spends too much money on games.
My collection is not a small one, but it's defintily not the biggest I've seen. Now my question to the one person that actually reads my blog (Hai thar Scott). Do you get embarrassed by your collection or are you proud? Do you go for the Collectors Editions or just the regular edition? And do you go to someone elses house to envy their collection/or freak out about a particular game that have in their collection?
PS: That's not my collection.
