There are some nice things about a certain "deal" video game stores can give you today, although sometimes you wish you hadn't done it. If you're thinking that what I am talking about is the exposing of your **** (boobs and moobs alike) in hopes of getting a discount for a game, it doesn't work. People don't like moobs. At least none of the people I've tried to this method with liked it. But once an elderly lady did wink at me totally checking out mah sugar lumps. That's a deal in itself! AMIRITE?!

Now, DON'T think about moobs. You're not thinking about it right? Great big hairy nipplebeards!.. I just scared myself. Anyway enough about that before I cause you to drink yourself to death. What I am actually talking about is the trading in your game for store credit deal. Sometimes it's nice when you feel that you have no need of a couple games, so perhaps you could trade it in and put it towards getting that new release you've been waiting for. I mean, when you're low on cash it seems like a reasonable option. I've done this plenty of times in the past myself, but when I begin to think about it I regret it.

If I would have never traded in any of my video games for store credit, I would need a shelf dedicated solely to my collection alone. With trading-in, later on you miss the games you once had. But that is the price to pay if you want to keep up with the times and play on. I guess you could always just go out and rent them instead of dishing out sixty dollars or trading in a couple of games? I personally don't care much for renting, because I like the feeling of owning something rather than knowing I am borrowing it. But at the speed I finish games it'd probably be best if I did end up doing that. But I will continue with the buying. :P

But I am through with trading in. I've decided that I am going to start collection again and one day I might just have an entire bookcase dedicated to them. It's easier to keep your games at certain times of the year though. It always seems like the rush of sought after titles always come out in bunches, and then leave a long stretch of time where only a couple good ones are released. But if you're willing to wait it out, like I have for Heavenly Sword, eventually it'll show up in the bargain bin for about twenty bucks.

This was just something totally random that I had on my mind, and I thought I'd share it. There are pros and cons about trading in.
