    Default Do you Keep or Exchange/Trade-In your Games?

    Recently I bought a Nintendo 64 again and I have about 20 games for it already (a whole bunch of classics too, like Pilotwings 64, Mario64, StarFox64, Banjo Tooie, Perfect Dark and so on...)

    This is probably my favourite console but I'm kinda filled with regrets too. About 2 years ago I traded in my Nintendo 64 and I gave away 4 games which I really loved and hope I come across again very soon. These 4 were Mystical Ninja, Donkey Kong 64, Castlevania 64 and Bomberman 64 (Damn it, how many times have I written '64'?) It was a bad mistake.

    So my Topic is: Do you Keep your Games always, or do you Trade-In/Exchange your Games?

    I've learnt my lesson and nowadays I keep all my games, unless I have bought something that is an absolute dog (which isn't very often since I check reviews before I buy). I have a whole load of classics in my collection (like Nights Into Dreams, Christmas Nights, Rez and many others) and I virtually never get rid of my games, even when I complete them. The only time I do trade-in a game is if there is a better version of the same title, ie, Ninja Gaiden ---> Ninja Gaiden Black or Devil May Cry 3 ---> Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition

    If I want to buy a new game, I'll just save up my money slowly or wait until the price gets reduced.

    What about you?

    If I don't play the game anymore I usually trade it in. No reason for it to sit there and collect dust.

    If there is absolutely no way in hell I will ever play it again, its trade-in time.

    Devil Man is not talking in third person. Rainecloud is both shocked and disturbed.

    I only keep my games if they're absolutely excellent, or if I already have them on my PC. I don't need my original NES, SNES, Genesis/Megadrive, Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy or N64 game cartridges anymore, for that very reason.

    I keep all the decent PS, Gamecube and XBox 360 games, and trade in the ones that aren't up to my lofty standards.

    I'll trade something in if I know I'm not going to replay it again. Unless it's something obscenely rare, then I'll be holding onto it.

    I'm usually very good at always getting games I'll like (I very rarely buy games on a whim), so I generally have less of an inclination to sell them.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I do tend to trade some in for other games or cash, but if I have any rare games that I barely play, I still keep them.

    If the games I buy are defective or if I need money to buy a next-generation console like the Wii I trade them in for game credit at GameStop.
