I used to do it alot, but not so much anymore due to the lack of time. I have Chrono Trigger from the SNES on the DS i will sometimes play. If i had more time i would go through many of the old games.
Devs work their asses off for years, then if a game is sold used they get no money at all from it.
$50 isn't that much, and complaining about having to buy a new game compared to a used one from gamestop that is $5 cheaper is REALLY STUPID.

Personally i prefer buying new games.. no scratches, the box is new & you won't be missing the instruction booklet. If i can't find it new then ill get it used.
I think it is more to do with greed than anything else, the cd market hasn't been killed off by used cd's being sold even though piracy is even worse than it is with gaming. If people want to sell something they are done with I don't think anybody should be trying to stop them from doing so, if the game developers are not making a profit they should look into a new business model not persecute their paying customers. Nintendo have taken their new direction for this very reason, to cut development cost and open up new potential customers yet hardly any 3rd party developers have truly got onboard with the concept.
Get a wider audience and stop bleeding the one you have dry I think is my point.

The problem with the gaming industry is most games stop being published after a certain amount of time, usually when retail outlets are not making money off of them & need to clear space for new releaes.Cds usually don't do that unless the band is no longer present & the record company isn't getting anything out of it anymore. And not to mention Sony's lack of ability to enable Ps2 backwards compatibility probablly made things worse. The only way you can playa PS1 game that is not being sold on the market is to go on the PSN network & download the game, even so there isn't alot of games to choose from. It's not expensive to produce current games like cartridges used to be, really they should use it to thier advantage & milkthe older games, especially for those people who can't afford to pay $59 for new games. Releasing games on multiple systems usually help too.
I think xbox fanboys are worse, they claim that its better then the ps3, yeah how? And what difference does it make.It's not like they'recomparing the NES to the Ps3. Now thats a difference.
Anyways i would have sold those things off, make a profit off of them. And i don't care if FFXIII is on 6 diff systems, they just did it cuz this was a massive game& they could make more sales. More sales = more FF for us.
FFVI is the best in the series IMO. It had some really awesome scenes that would blow practically every other game out of the sky if it was redone in CG.
I usually wait til they become greatest hits or check amazon.com for discounts. I only paid like $30 for Devil May Cry 4 & that was back in Dec of 08. Igenerally buy games for full price if i know they're good.
Yeah, I'm hyped too because Nomura already confirmed that the game will have towns, NPC's and everything what FFXIII lacked. Even a huge world map like the old FF games (prior X). I think this just confirms that FFXIII was gimped...

Think of it as FFXIII part 2 =). Either way im getting this game it looks awesome.
