Just wondering how many among us collect video games. Not including anything beyond PS1 games I've spent about $500 on collecting video games. Tabulating everything I own (excluding traded in games and systems) at the price I paid, my game collection cost over $2000.
My other badge of being a collector is spending more than $100 on a game from an outdated system. If the hole were bigger or my dick were thinner I swear I would actually have sex with my copy of Suikoden II on occasion.
This isn't a listing topic since I think there is already one of those buried in the archives; it's a "how many games do you own" topic at least. Just state whether you think you're a game collector or not and estimate the value of your video game collection if you so wish.
Basically, every single game I buy I keep. I dunno about the price, but assuming that I bought the games at regular retail prices (and I did for almost all of them) It's definatly got to be in the thousands of pounds.
Now that I hear your collecting assassin I don't know if I'm a collector :?
but I do occasionally hit it on the web and buy some ol' games. The most I spent on old games has got to be around only $200.
I'm not really a collector, though I'm definitely keeping some of my games (ex. Xenosaga, .hack). I have around 49 games. I'd say their value is around US$960.
