Do you trade-in your games or keep them?

Both.

I keep great/classic games just for nostalgic purposes.

Every other game I trade in.

Trade-in. I only buy 5-7 games per year and most of them are annually released sports games so there's no need to keep the older version. I never get much for them, but it's more than I'd get if they were sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

I keep them. I only purchase sporting titles (Madden, NCAA, Tiger Woods Golf etc) and whilst I am not likely to play old editions, I like to keep them if only to keep the collection going dating back to the first title releases.

I keep them because I just can't bring myself to trade them or get rid of them. Yeah it might not be the smartest thing to do financially, but when I get a game I add it to my "collection" and don't really feel like getting rid of it.

If I didn't have a problem with not owning my games, I would have probably signed up for Gamefly a while ago.

Same here.

I used to keep them. Then I found goozex a year and a half ago, and now I trade everything in. I've played games which I never would have otherwise once I started trading games in.

I keep mine, I don't see the point of trading in a game just ot get $5-10 for it.

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

I usually trade them in and I buy used games. Unless it is a game I really like.

Where did he say it just sits there and collects dust?

I find it hard to believe some plays EVERY game they've ever bought.

I have some PAL PS2 games back home (or should I say, at my parents' house). I'm not sure if it's legal to send it here, but if it was, would stores here accept PAL games?

I can't speak for others, but personally I do, mainly for nostalgic purposes or because the latest version of whatever game I have I don't like(such as NCAA B-Ball 10.. Don't like it and I'm still playing CH2K8). Heck there are a lot of folks that still play NFL 2k5 because they don't like Madden. Just because it's old doesn't mean you can't play it. I don't go too far with it though. I do trade in most of my games. I only keep the great/classic ones.

And I'm sure a lot of people just like to collect games. I have a friend who has every Madden dating back to '02. He doesn't play them anymore, but he keeps them as a collection.

So? I didn't spend your money to buy them did I?

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

I wait for a special and only if I have a replacement game to fill my needs. I haven't been able to turn in CH2k8

I've always gotten more than $15 bucks on Ebay. You just have to be smart about it. Like I said, the key is knowing when to sell. And even if you trading in at GS, the key is to wait until the have an extra 50% on trade-in's and you should get a decent amount.

but you see the point in letting it collect dust?

Exactly. How many people who have Madden 10 have played 08 or 09 since buying 10? IMO, it's just a waste of space in my entertainment center and the old games have no nostalgic value for me. So, selling is the obvious choice.
