Re: Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

I have every game I've ever owned. I've never traded in a single game.

A lot of times I'll go back and play old games every now and then for nostalgic purposes, so I never want to get rid of them. I probably have 50 or so games for Xbox and Xbox 360 dating back six years since I got my Xbox.

I also have 10 or so Nintendo 64 games along with the Nintendo 64 console sitting in a box somewhere.

Re: Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

I traded in a lot of games in the past, 3/4 of all my PS2 games (I'm left with 5 now, GTA 3, VC, SA, NFS Most Wanted, and ESPN NFL 2k5) and I've traded a couple of xbox 360 games. And sometimes I do regret trading in games I want to play now for nostalgic purposes.

Keep 'em. Still have my Atari games (150 or so of them) even. Think my 360 collection has eclipsed it though, as I have a lot more $$ than I did as a child, teenager, or college student.

Re: Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

I only buy games that I know I'll love enough to keep them for awhile. I only get rid of a game after I stop playing them for a really long time and even then it's only games that I just don't feel like having anymore. I still have a copy of The Darkness even though I don't play it at all just because I love the game.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

I keep all my games. I can't justify trading in a game I spend $60 on for a couple of dollars. It reminds me of college text books. I kept all those books...except the ones I KNEW I would never read again, and I only traded those in so I would have space.

Re: Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

I look up the value of the game on ebay minus fees and then take them to gamespot. I will do this with Assassins Creed 2 and maybe Battlefield Bad Company 2 when I want UFC: Undisputed 2010. If I'm being ripped off by 5 dollars I will sell them on the bay else I'll trade them in. Usually for big releases Gamestop does a two for one deal where you can trade in 2 games and get $40.

I sell 'em since I primarily buy only sports games and usually get the newest version. The only "old" sports game I own is CH2K8.

That's funny because I did the same thing. Traded in all my liberal study books and only kept those in my major. The funny thing is I've never looked in the books that are in my major and it's been 10 years since I graduate. I should have traded those in as well!

That might be why I always trade in old video games now even if I only get $2 for a game (which is the lowest I've ever received). That $2 will serve more of a purpose than an old game that sits on a shelf collecting dust.
