    Well, for me, it depends. I keep all of my games unless I'm in serious need of cash (or store credit, rather) for a game I want, and it's usually games I don't much play anymore or don't think I'll play. For games I really like (Resident Evil 4, Dragon Quest VIII, all Final Fantasy games) I keep them.

    I try and keep all my games. Only if I'm strapped for cash and really want another game.

    I replay through my games an obscene amount of times, and I make as sure as possible I want it before I buy it... So generally always keepers for me. I'm one of those people who would sell a game and want to play it the instant it was gone.

    I usually keep my games. This generation though...I worked at gamestop and bought too many used games when they had big sales. I just traded a bunch of them in. I could have sold them on ebay...but then I have to worry about stuff that I am not good at. Such as being a time oriented person.

    The last time I traded in games was to buy Earthbound. It came in a big box and was awesome.

    If I don't use something, I get rid of it. An exception is my ORIGINAL copy of FF7. I'm taking that with me to my grave.

    keepkeep. I traded in a couple then really regretted it especially when they were games I'd done eveeerything in. Boo. Though I may exchange mario I never play it! And I'm not attached to it. If I really didnt like a game or have much fun with it at all I might trade it in. But usually it's not worth it... I can generally afford to just buy the new game anyway. xD *spendaholic*

    Exactly! What more reason does one need to keep their games? I think that trade-ins are a huge rip-off, anyway. If I really despise the game (like some game called Haven that came with my PS2), I'll sell it on eBay for a real profit.

    It's not anything I have to worry about. I'm really picky with what I spend my money on, and have never bought a game I didn't like.

    I keep my games because I don't think there's a place to trade them around here. There aren't even that many game stores/communities. Stores won't take back used games.

    Anyway, I keep almost every game I buy. If I don't, I sell them myself. You'd have to be an idiot to sell a game at GameStop for, like, $5.

    I traded in a lot of games to get my GBA SP.

    I wish I still had them

    I keep most of the games I buy, but in the cases that the game really sucks or I need help to purchase a game, I'll trade/exchange some games.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I only get rid of them if they suck. If I like them, I always keep them.
