What Do You Do With The Games That You Complete?

[LoneKiller]

Hi Everyone.

Usually, when I beat a game I sell it for cash and use that scratch to buy another game.(Unless the "Replay Value" is high) I don't go to EB Games because they don't offer cash, just trade-in. I get more for my games in cash at a local used store that sells them. They would offer me say $15 for any given title where EB Games would only offer around $7 in trade for that same title.

I'm on PC, and the market is shifting way in favour of digital distribution nowadays - so if you buy a boxed copy it'll have a one-use code, and once that's gone, the DVD has no value except as a backup in case you need to reinstall. Personally I don't have the bandwidth to download multiple triple-A games, so when I buy a game at the store I have a hunk of useless plastic.

When I was younger me and my friends would swap PC games regularly, but that just can't happen anymore with the way the market is. So now on PC there are only 2 choices when you beat a game: keep it on your hard drive, or delete it!

The games sit on the shelf...neglected and collecting dust. I'll be passing them on to my brothers when they're old enough.

They don't need them. I'll take 'em.

Keep them. Not only because I buy my games used so I spend a fraction of the price for them in the first place. But I know we'll always go back to playing them, especially to the multiplayer. There's a few single player games I keep, such as God of War games, simply because I absolutely love the series and they're such epic games, I can't part with them.

 

[Sci-Fi]

I usually keep them and play them again. Unless the game was utterly disappointing I trade it in, will probably do that with RE Raccoon City when RE6 comes out.

^^^Same as above.

I remember accidentally shooting Luis too many times in "RE 4" and he turned around and wasted me.

Back on topic...I build a fort out of all the cases then run into it like Godzilla.

Actually no...I sell a lot on eBay, trading-in is never worth it anymore.

You got that right.

 

[Peter Lorre]

I keep all my games.

 

[LoneKiller]

I keep all my games.

Hey Peter.
How many do you own?

 

[Peter Lorre]

I have no exact idea, but there has to be hundreds of them. I'll try to count them all

Holy honeysuckle! lol

I sold all my games. Just kept the ps2 games and my roms. And my Pokemon Yellow, I couldn't sell that... too much emotional value.

 

[Masson]

I don't get it , I just delete them and if I ever want to play them again I download them , yaaaaaar.

 

[SilentComfort]

I keep them. I actually don't own that many. I have a few older NES and SNES games and i still buy PS2 titles. I always find myself going back to replay every game i own. Maybe one day i will try sell some of them, games become more rare by time i belive..

 

[DiscoSpider]

It depends on the game. Most of the time I just keep mine. Sometimes I will lend them out to friends, sometimes I will play them again in a year or so time.

Some games however I will sell to one of the local video game stores (the trade in old games thing).
