I used to trade but since the middle of the PS2 era, I started keeping everything. I'm glad I did, too. In the past week, I've replayed
- Space Channel 5 Part 2
- The Bouncer
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Zone of the Enders
- Enslaved
- Valkyria Chronicles (going back to finally finish it).
I had tons of fun with these games. Had I turned them in for store credit, I'd be missing out on that fun. Last year this time, I had already bought around 15 games, easily. This year, all I bought was Back to the Future (PS3) and Hydrophobia (Xbox 360). I was spending so much time/money looking for the next big thing that I overlooked much of the huge (and I mean HUGE) library I already owned. I'm going back and giving a lot of my favorite games a second look and I'm enjoying the nuances of them even more. Next up, MGS 1-4, Gears 1 & 2, and Twilight Princess.
--I have tons of PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox 1 (even though I didn't buy them until I got a 360), and Dreamcast games boxed up in my closet. I won't dare part with any of them, though.
