I keep games that I feel have good replay value, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and I trade-in games (at GameStop) that I get bored of like Pokemon Dash, because why would you keep a game that you no longer like? So, do you trade-in your games for new ones or just keep them?
-
I don't buy games that I'm not going to like later.
-
The only time I ever traded a game was when I traded RE4 for Pikmin 2
-
I used to trade games and I really came to regret it, so it's a pretty bad idea. I guess if you ever bought a really bad game it would make sense to trade it, but smart buyers wouldn't buy a completely terrible game.
-
Like Chup, I don't buy games that I'm not going to like later.
Besides, I doubt that I'd get much money for Mario Party 5/6 anyway...
-
In previous years I would say yes (especially in 2006 when I traded in a large chunk of my game collection to fund the purchase of my first DS entirely using trade credit), but now that most of my gaming is on PC (no trade-ins on physical games [due to DRM? I never bothered to find out why], and most of my more recent purchases have been fully digital anyway), my answer is a resounding no.
Regardless of the whole issue about buying games you won't always like...trading in games at stores such as GameStop is generally a ripoff anyway. Just like buying them there *cough$60forElectroplanktonusedwithoutboxormanualcough*.
-
I think it's generally bullcrap to make incomplete games cost the same as complete anyway. People should be discouraged to trade incomplete games through the risk of getting less money or credit.
-
I like to hold on to my games, partially because I'm a casual collector, partially because I figure someone will want to play them later, and partially because I inherited some of the gene my grandparents have wherein it's nearly impossible to get rid of anything. The only games that were bought, played, and sold/exchanged for store credit in this house were, in no major order:
-Game and Watch Gallery 4
-Spyro: Enter the Dragon
-Rayman: Hoodlum Havoc
-Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
-Amazing Island
The latter four were games given to us or bought mainly by my brother, though.
-
due to DRM? I never bothered to find out why
DRM/Registration keys is usually the reason we give people where I work. (We don't deal in PC games at all.)
-
In most cases, no. But I am planning to sell a few that I haven't played in years. But I guess I really wouldn't be trading them, anyway. I never get good prices when I sell to a game trading store.
-
I have not traded a game in years. I have a habit of going back to older titles when I'm waiting for a new release, so I don't give them away. Heck, I broke out Diddy Kong Racing earlier today and it still rocks.
-
I keep them, unless I decide that I just absolutely can't stand the game any longer (Diddy Kong Racing DS, which I only bought because I didn't have access to my N64 at the time).
I try to keep games that I or someone in my family will like/continue to like. Besides, I don't think I'll get much for them without the original box anyway..
-
Expect three weeks ago when I wanted an ebay gift card and now I regret selling few of my precious Gamecube games.
-
I always keep the games that I play because you never know when you'll want to play it again.
