I collect and with over 600 retail games, there are times I'm going to want to play a game I've played once, twice, or several times in the past. If it's a game I'm not really a fan of and I'm not going to be interested in playing it in the future, then it's a game I won't keep in my collection, but if it's something that I've enjoyed enough to see myself playing it sometime in the future, even if it's an average experience, then I'll keep it.
The problem with going back to old games are new games are coming out, older new games are dropping in price and at $20, if I'm interested in them I'll pick them up, and there's only a limited amount of time to play so many games.
There's also the very rare newer game that takes priority There was a deal at Gamestop so I traded in Mario Kart 7 and MLB13 The Show to purchase Xillia at $9.99(going to purchase MLB13 The Show once I can get it later for $10 or less. However I still haven't touched Xillia because I know it'll take me some time to finish and Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming out soon. GTA5 is going to take priority over anything else. Lords of Shadow was my favorite game this gen and Lords of Shadow 2 is getting priority once it releases as well.
Sadly, more and more interesting games come out and even past gen games get in my backlog. The same might happen to some current gen titles.
I'm not a fan of paying for digital that isn't dirt cheap, so as we get more and more digital titles and I infrequently make digital purchases, this backlog will eventually whittle down.
