Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

Nothing makes the ladies panties drop faster than a 25 year old collection of video games that you don't play anymore.

What exactly may that promotion be, good sir?

I have kept all of my games through the years but it's getting to a point where I'm beginning to second guess that. When it comes down to it, I'm not going to have room to have old video games sitting around not being used. In the mindset of a hoarder, I'd always think, "But what if I want to play this game again one day?" Thankfully, XBox Arcade and other means has helped a ton in that regard.

It's kind of similar to my VHS collection of great Detroit sports events and NBA All-Star Weekends I have from the past 20 years. With the emergence of the internet and YouTube, I'm not as crazy about being sure to record all these things, because I know they're going to exist somewhere else that will remain accessible to me.

He's probably talking about the promotion where they gave you an additional 50%. So if the trade in value of the game was $10 then you got $15.

yeah I usually check Amazon's trade-in and then look at ebay's completed auctions. If Amazon is within $5 or so I just go with them. I just got $31 for NBA Live 10 on the PS3 where on ebay you were getting a range from $27 to $35 if you offered free shipping.

EDIT: LOL, I just checked and the trade-in for NBA Live is now $16. I got mine in just in time last week!

HA! I did the same thing. Now they just take up space.
