From my experience over the last couple days...let me suggest a way to make a fairly good price on your previously played games... Stop by a "private" [i.e. non-chain] video rental store and offer your games to increase their rental library. I just sold 50 PS1 (basically $10/ea) games and 15 PS2 ($30/ea) games. I\'m clearing over $1,000 with the deal... I ain\'t complainin\';) and the "private" rental store owner is happy too, and I have spending money for this season\'s crop of new games. Also definitely did better than I would have carrying them into a Babbages, or EB for credit, etc.
Just thought I\'d share...

That is a very fair deal and not a bad idea.
-
Yeah cool idea!
Extra cash is always handy lol.

I dunno:
- I like having a big library of games.
- If you can afford 50 PS1 games, and 15 PS2 games, you need money?!
- You\'re supposed to need the money for gifts for others, not for more games.
:laughing:

Yeah, but there one fatal flaw with that lil plan of yours. You actually have to sell your games! That\'s sacralige to me. I can\'t even bring myself to junk a old Commander Keen 1 disk I bought the other day that dosen\'t work.

Why would anyone want to keep the majority of their old games
i hardly ever play old games. I always look towards the new, so the thought of games just sitting on my shelf for some sort og gamers pride is pretty useless to me
I sold my PSX and every game on the system right after I bought my PS2. Not a single regret about it.
there will always be something nrew in the future and truly that is really all I care about
iwill do the same eith my PS2 and its library when the time comes and have already sold PS2 games

Different strokes, different folks. I don\'t keep all my old games for pride, I keep them because I still play and enjoy them regularly. Every system I own is still hooked up to a TV and gets it\'s fair share of useage. Just because a game is old dosen\'t mean it isn\'t fun to play anymore. I feel kinda sorry for anyone who thinks that way. Makes them seem like a "shallow" gamer IMO. Not to say there\'s anything wrong with lookin ahead to the new. Todays new release is tomorrows dated software. If it\'s a good game, then it will stand the test of time.
It\'s also a hobby of mine. Software (expecially games) archival is to me what saving antiques from, say the 20\'s, is to others. That software is a piece of history, shaped and influenced by what was going on in the world at the time it was created. I think it\'s a shame if we all get too caught up with looking ahead and allow this software to simply dissapear just because it\'s "Old".
You wouldn\'t destroy a fully restored and cherry Model T simply for that fact would you? It might not be what you drive back and forth to work.. but it\'s still nice to take a cruise once in a while, know what I mean?

yeah I guess
I have to admit I\'m very un-nastalgic of videogames
I\'ll take the new experiences and leave the old in the past as mere reference material.
