I keep them all. 

I still have Boom Blox; if only to serve as a reminder to never buy anything that awful again.

I live off of gamefly and sell all my new bought games on eBay. I only own a ps3 and I only actually own Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3. I play the games on other systems at my buds house or i borrow thier systems. I don't i have a need to keep a collection. I know i will never play old games again. And if i do want to, its not worth keeping it around and selling it at way less than i bought it for.

Like some others in this thread, I don't buy many games so the ones I do get I keep. However I did throw away about half my PS1 collection about 3 years ago, although it was mostly craptacular games like 'Sky Sports Football Quiz'.

I fight myself on this one all the time. My desire to have a collection and my desire to not be poor often struggle against each other. I generally just take the time to think "will I really play through this game again?" if the answer is no, and I can get a fair trade or price for it, its gone. I'd rather have something new, that i can afford, instead of an extra box on my shelf. Of course, If  money was no object, than I'd probably never trade again :)

I started keeping all my games this gen.  It's fun to watch your collection get bigger and bigger.

I keep my games, even the bad ones ,they're the most important ones and are like the scars from that one time you crossed the road to early and got run over by a car, they taught you a lesson and you need a reminder!

I used to keep all my games. But as I get older I'm sooner able to recognize which games I can't be bothered to ever play again. So why not trade them in when they're still worth some money and buy more games with that money.

Shooters are usually first to go, I'll be trading in Dead space 2 when I'm done with the single player.

But there are plenty of games I would never trade in. Ico and Sotc aren't going anywhere even when I have the HD collection to play.
