Beat Writer Posts: 168 Joined: 2 Sep 2008 | I've played my fair share. Not sure, but a pretty good amount. Right now, however, all I've got is TF2, Painkiller Universe Collection, and Halo CE. Oh yeah, and Zombie Panic Source. No seventh gen. consoles as of yet. So, yeah. It's pretty modest. REALLY pretty modest. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 63 Joined: 29 May 2008 | It's rather small, but I work it often and well. Every inch of it gets its much deserved attention, and the most fun is had when four or more people play with it. I'm talking about my game collection, what were you thinking? |

Muckraker Posts: 344 Joined: 21 Mar 2008 | I got a small pile, when I get tired of a game I give it away to friends! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3274 Joined: 10 Oct 2008 | My Video game collection is pretty small. I tend to sell all the games I have beaten. I don't tend to replay many games over and over again. Once I have beaten/seen the story/single player game, it is over for me. eBay rules for selling and buying games. |

Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 719 Joined: 29 May 2008 | I have about 7- or 8 each for the wii and 360, and maybe about 15-20 ps2 games, as well as 11-12 ds games and 10 gba games. I don't really have a big collection, and I sell games that I never play |

EDIT: http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?lid=100018&owner=urza9995&mode=vown Sorry, my estimate was low. I have 386 games, give or take a few... |

Both God of Wars, Xenosaga Series, FFX, FFX-2, FFXII, just to name some of my PS2 I have a bit more PSX, with mostly things like Legend of Dragoon, FFVII, ALL of the Tomb Raiders, and Soul Reaver. PC wise, I just got that Portal game sent to me from a great friend cross - country, but I have the Tomb Raider Legends, along with UT2000, UT03/04. Yeah. Not much. I'd love to get a Wii/. |

Press Junketeer Posts: 457 Joined: 22 Sep 2008 | Ah... I see what you did there. How's that working out for you? You know... being clever. (No, but seriously it totally made me click on this topic out of sheer morbid curiosity) Boy, I've got about 8 Gameboy (Yes, Gameboy, not GBA or DS) games left, about ten N64 games, a dozen or so Xbox games, and 5 Wii games in my console collection. More importantly, my PC game collection stretches back over a decade and must include at least 35-40 games. Most of which were purchased new, like in the $40-$50 range. Topics like this are kind of hard to discuss, because it often puts into perspective all the money I've sunk into video game over the course of my life... |
Muckraker Posts: 286 Joined: 7 Jun 2008 | If I like a game, I keep it, if I don't, I sell it. So, it depends on how many good games I buy a year. A surprisingly low number at times, and a surprisingly high number at others. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 836 Joined: 9 May 2008 | I used to have a bigger collection than I do now. I ran into a bit of a cash-flow issue a couple of years ago when I got married and moved in the same year (don't do that!). Talk about expensive! I wound up selling my PS2, Game Cube, Xbox and all the games for them but three or four of the Xbox games. I kept my DS and the games for it that I play regularly (about 20 DS and GBA games combined). Then, late last year, I was working at a electronics retailer that gives you big employee discounts for stuff so I used some of the money I saved from selling the above as well as a bunch of other non-gaming stuff, to get a Halo 3 Xbox 360 and a few games for it. I also built my own PC from scratch and added a few more PC games to my huge PC game collection (numbering well over 200). I have a lot of PC games since you can't really trade them in anywhere and I have only recently found swap sites on the net that are reliable. A bunch of my games are from the DOS era and I don't play them anymore but can't bring myself to get rid of them. Even with the swap sites, it doesn't decrease my PC game collection since you swap one for one on the sites I use. I now work at a different store that sells classic games and consoles mainly. I got a NES and SNES (all in one) console and am playing a bunch of games I haven't played since I used to play on my cousins' consoles as a kid. I've bought 3 (had to get Super Mario Bros. since it's my wife's favorite NES game, also bought two of my favorite SNES games: Defender 2 and Lost Vikings) so far and have been borrowing the rest from the store for free (employee perk). I got a good discount on the console and games too. In the past, I have had a PS One that I got at a pawn shop along with a few games, but wound up selling it before one of my previous moves when I got my PS2. The only console I've had for a long time is my Atari 2600 which I got when they first came out years ago. I have 26 games for it and am considering adding to that collection from the ones we have at the store. I guess when it comes to consoles, I'm more of an upgrader than a collector until now. Now for some reason, I'm starting to get more into collecting old games. My book collection on the other hand is huge. I've been collecting books since I was in grade school. I've lost count how many I have. Put it this way, I have 10 boxes of books in storage right now that are about twice the size of the box that the PS3 comes in that are clear full of books. I have a bookshelf in my apartment with at least 100 books on it. You could say I read a lot. |

Damn that's a lot, especially when taking in account that games lose their value so quickly. How many do you think you have in total (must be more then 1000 surely). |
Copy Clerk Posts: 90 Joined: 20 Sep 2008 | 23 games that came in boxes, around 35 that came off the net or from other people. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1023 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | I only have a modest collection |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | I have about 30 PC games, 10 PSX games, 15 PS3 games and 120 PS2 games. Had a bit of spare cash so over the past twelve months I've bought about fifty old PS2 games on eBay. A lot of them have been NTSC-only releases which I never got a chance to play all those years ago. I've since picked up an American slim PS2 and I love it. Playing every game in 60Hz is great; you don't appreciate just how pathetic some of the PAL localizations are. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3154 Joined: 10 Nov 2007 | Lots. Probably pushing 400 by now. |

I'd say about 5 to 6 inches... wait, what's the topic? Seriously though, my collection tends to fluctuate, sometimes I have a lot of games, most of them being older, cheaper games. When a game comes out that I want to get, but I'm broke, then I start to thin out my collection by trading in games I don't play anymore, just to probably buy most of them back later. |
Beat Writer Posts: 213 Joined: 6 Aug 2008 | I haven't counted in ages, but a rough guess would be 200-250, not including the 60-odd titles I'm trying to sell right now. It's mostly because I buy lots of games dirt cheap (like yardsales, game clearances, and $5 last gen titles) and by the time I beat them (If I beat them) they're worth pennies, usually a dollar or less. Most of the time I'd rather keep it then have an extra .50 cents or whatever. For my systems, I'd guess I have about 15 Snes, 3 Nes, 12 Wii, 30 N64, 3 Virtual Boy, 25 Gameboy/Advance, 10 Ds, 30 Gamecube, 15 Genesis, 15 Saturn, 20 Dreamcast, 20 Ps2, 10 Playstation, 35 Xbox, and 25 Xbox 360 games. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 3251 Joined: 8 May 2008 | I have 13 PC games, counting mods adn expansion packs, and 2 PSP games. I have about a dozen PS2 games but I don't play them anymore. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4095 Joined: 6 Sep 2008 | I see whut u did thar. I have a small collection of games most people wouldn't like. A few launch titles (that were bad) a few gems, and a few Samurai Warriors games. Yes, I know they're not good games, I still liked them for some reason. Played the hell out of 1 & 2. Moving onto the PC, I have a much larger collection but it's mostly older games or less graphically intensive ones. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1074 Joined: 26 Apr 2008 | I've got: Most of the PC games are Strategy, and the 1 Xbox game is Fable:TLC. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1669 Joined: 13 Oct 2008 | well, it's 7.5inch... oh, game collection, right. um... about 100, really it is. ok so less than 100 but still not very much less... hey, girls? my face is up here... lol |
Press Junketeer Posts: 371 Joined: 6 Nov 2006 | I don't have an exact count, but I have FF1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 on the ps1/2, I still need to find 3&4 for Sony, I also have FF1 on the PSP, and FF7:CC for the psp. I think I have a total of like 4 psp games. I owned all the Twisted Metal Games for the PSX, but sold 1-3 for 4... YEa, I'm still hitting my self on that one! PS3 is around 10 or so games... MGS4, Resistance, Some lame RPG, GTA4, Warhawk, UT3, ect. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3587 Joined: 6 Aug 2008 | 92 over Pc, xbox, PS2 and 360. I don't play many of the pS2 or xbox games anymore and want to get rid of about 6 of my 360 games. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 62 Joined: 26 May 2008 | I just started collecting (in earnest, at least) about 3 weeks ago, and I've got about 1/3 of a bookshelf filled, which I guess is pretty good for the short amount of time I've been looking. I mostly try to get rare RPG's like Ar Tonelico and Magna Carta (even though MC plays like "Legend of Dragoon for Stupids" it's still rare dammit) |
Paperboy Posts: 13 Joined: 12 Oct 2008 | I can't count my PC game stash, as most of it's gathering dust in my parents' loft. In my own place right now I have about 10 PC games, and a dozen Xbox/360 discs. Most of my gaming happens on Steam and XBLA right now, which is funny but inexpensive. |

I have played 'plenty' (probably over 100) games for PC but I've downloaded a lot of those. I buy a lot of games nowadays because I have more money and I like having games physically though. I have had about 30 games for the Xbox 360 but I've sold some to buy new games.
