Splinter Cell: Did you keep it or trade/sell it?
I've beaten Splinter Cell on XBOX on both difficulties now and still feel like I want to play it again, but there are so many other games out there I want to play and it would help if I used Splinter Cell for trading (I can get $17).
What did you do?

I'm still not sure of myself. I haven't touched it in about a month. I got to the end of the slaughterhouse level. It said mission completed, then 2 seconds later it said mission failed. I haven't played it since.

I recently finished the game and loved it. I plan on playing it again in the near future. I'm looking forward to trying some different tactics and using less agression to beat the levels.

If I had a good time with a game, then I keep it - regardless of whether I play it again or not. I very rarely sell or trade a game after I buy it.
Sometimes I'll just keep it so I can listen to the music in a game or view cutscenes or intros again. That way I can relive some of the memories of playing the game without spending the time to play it through again.
So my option is not listed in the poll.

My option isn't listed either.... Never bought it (well, technically I did, but...)
I rented the game from BB and with the 8 day rental, plus 2 days late (oops!) I finished all but 3 of the missions.
Went back a week later to re-rent it and there were none available, so I "rented it for free" at Gamestop. I bought a used copy and returned it within 7 days (after beating the game) and got my money back. So, yeah, technically I guess I "got rid of it" but I never actually planned on keeping it anyway. I love that 7 day return period on used games
Moral disclaimer - That's not something I do on a regular basis. But, I was very anxious to finish the game, no rentals were available, and I'll be damned if I was going to pay $45 to play 3 missions.
I may pick up a copy to keep at some point in the future. I'm sure that'll end up being on of the greatest hit games that'll sell for $20 new within 6 months or so (or at least after the sequel is released.) Would be kind of interesting do try going through the whole game without killing anyone (

I was playing the end of the final mission again last night, but this time I went back and killed all the commandos(?) that had me surrounded just before the lights went out. I don't think I can give it up. Even though there IS a sequel coming out next year.
