I trade or sell online (which ever gets the best value) most games I'm done with. That said I still end up with a ton I consider keepers for some reason or another. I have a book case full of current and last gen and even more boxed up from previous gens.

I have finally started to dig into the old NES, SNES, Genesis and N64 games and even a few PSone titles. Now that we have things like Virtual Console and PSone classics on PSN I feel I can let go of some of my collection and just download them if I really feel the need to play them again.

I've been guilty of buying games at good prices, then never playing them, or playing them when they've dropped even further in price. I'm working on that.
"Great" games, games I really like and could either see myself playing again, or just want to keep, I keep. Some "meh" games that were fun for a few hours, I'll try to sell/trade. I have traded to GS/EB, taking advantage of some of their deals, but if I'm taking a 95% loss by trading something in, it's cheaper to just keep it. I'll post stuff on Amazon or Half to see if it sells. I've had good luck with Goozex.com, gotten rid of a bunch of stuff that is worth crap in trade in or even resale on Amazon (esp. after fees), but lets me use the points on something more expensive.

Ditto. I finally weeded out most of my NES/SNES/Genesis games and some of my PS1 RPGs I wasn't going to get around to. Too busy with work & school & kids. Plus some GC/Xbox/PS2 games that I knew I wouldn't get to. Sold most of 'em to another game collector from CAG/LCVG and some stuff to ebay. I kept the hardware and a couple of games (I'm not giving up my Dragon Warrior IV cart). Traded in a few with little value to wherehouse.com.

That said I've still got a backlog & collection of about 70 games across the older platforms, I'd say. Especially RPGs. I'm not giving up Lunar 2 or Dragon Warrior 7.

I am well enough off that it isn't a need for the cash, but i tend to only keep things i really enjoyed, thinking i will come back and play them again although a very rarely do, as I usually just buy a new game when there is something I want. I sell the vast majority of the games on amazon.com.

As I say that though and look over at my shelves, I have about 140 games consisting of PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox360, Wii, PSP, GBA and DS games. Some of the keepers are things like GTA series, halo series, bioshock, lumines 1 and 2, ssx series, castlevania DS series....

Because I import nearly always I generally don't have the opportunity to trade in to a B&M store. And the money from an ebay sale minus fees and time spent is not worth it to me. The games that would bring in enough (close to or more than retail) are ones that I don't want to part with anyway.

I'm a "keeper." Still have my old systems, games, and accessories. (Tons of Turbografx/Duo, Jaguar and 3DO games in particular, plus lots of Lynx, GB/GBA, N64 and Dreamcast games.) My plan is to have a huge entertainment room someday, with all my systems on a shelf and connected to a switchbox, all games lined up on more shelves, accessories at the ready. (Portables and chargers in a separate section.) But I digress....

I'm a keeper as well. Nostalgia for me.

Get rid of the stuff I don't want. And now I'm pretty much exclusively a renter so I don't have the problem anymore.

Usually trade stuff in at GameRush and get a good amount of credit it for them (I've compared a couple of trade in prices at GameStop and that place is ridiculous in the small amount of credit they give you. GameRush seems much better). Also, I rarely buy anything at full price.

Now I am debating whether to keep or trade in Blue Dragon, Madden 08, and Manhunt 2.

The only other game I really want this month is Mass Effect. I am waiting for reviews for Assassins Creed, and Call of Duty 4 is already paid for and on the way.

I don't have Stranglehold, that was just an example. I had it for the 360 a while back, but traded it in. I highly recommend it, though. I'll be picking it up again when it hits $20 or so.
