Bought a PSP 3000 today... not totally sure why... besides the fact that I apparently had an extra $200 to burn... and a burning desire to play/own ALL WipeOut games... :eh:
So do I get a cookie for owning ALL of the current generation of gaming consoles?? Or did the alxbleep beat me to it??!? :unsure:
Now Playing: Clash Royale (mobile), Gravity Rush 2, Rayman Legends, Project CARS, Uncharted 4 Survival Mode ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

They're selling Chrono Trigger DS for $40? That's a ripoff. Does the original cartridge even cost that much?

I just won Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition on eBay for €7,50 + shipping. I think it's a pretty good deal, it's like new and the cheapest I saw it new was for €30.

I got Little Big Planet on Friday! :D Also downloaded SimCity 2000 from the Playstation Store... I kinda feel short changed though, cos it's the crappy PS1 version not the PC version. The PC version would have run well on the PS3, I wonder why they didn't just use that? Anyway, the stripped down PS1 version sucks balls.

Nine months on from selling my SNES and I can safely say that selling it was the right thing to do. I wasn't sure of that at the time but in the past nine months I've really not missed the SNES at all. It's just not a console I feel sentimental about. The one game I do miss is Super Mario Kart... hopefully Nintendo will get around to releasing on the Virtual Console.

I've realised that I don't have much time for retro games these days and my plans to expand my PS1 and Dreamcast collections are now forgotten about. There's a lot of stuff I'm now thinking of selling because I'm tired of the clutter, the space everything takes up. My whole frickin' house is a dumping ground for old games I'll never get around to playing! I'd rather sell this crap and buy some nice stuff for our house or maybe even save the money as deposit on a new house. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the collecting side of games just isn't that important to me these days. Screw it, I can be honest with you guys. I've really lost interest in it.

Dreamcast will probably be the next system to go. There's some great games but my own favorites can be played on other systems (Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia and RE:Code Veronica I can play on the cube, Soul Calibur on the 360, Shadow Man on the N64...). I'd miss some of the games but not enough... :unsure:

Also got plans to sell off chunks of my N64, Gamecube, PS2 and DS collections. Man, I could make a fortune from this! :D

I'll be honest; I actually feel the same way. I frequently just buy new games for something to do, and it is very blatantly a way to compensate and cope for my near total lack of strong personal relationships. Sure, if I was a more sociable person I'd still play games, but I would no doubt play them less and not keep so many around.

Of course, I'll still probably end up moving a few more times over the next few years as circumstances warrant, so investing money into things like a nice kitchen table or a new bed aren't really good ideas anyway.

Cool! How is LBP so far? Is it the revolution some claim it to be, or just an innovative platformer with mediocre mechanics (floaty jumping)?

What the hell? Stoop kid, your most to be on your stoop. Unless you got a laptop with wireless Internet...

Also I'm definitely rethinking my wanting of a lot of older (or even newer) games.

I'm going through a bit of a clearout myself at the moment. It feels kind of good to not have a lot of stuff. :)
It all comes down to a lack of time, doesn't it?

Yeah, for me it's lack of time to actually play the games. I look at my games and for the vast majority I of older games I think "I'm never gonna get around to playing that". I'm just being honest with myself. If I had more time I'd love to be able to play them all.

But in the real world... >_<

Some of the stuff is pretty cool but there's not been a :omg: moment. Not for me anyway. The cool bit is playing online with other people, there's not really been any 2D-esque platformers that have allowed online multiplayer before... or, at least, none as well done as LBP. The level creation tool looks like fun but I think it'll take quite a while to get used to the different functions. It's really well explained though, there's a series of tutorials that cover everything in detail.

It's a good game though, worth playing without a doubt. And sackboy = 8)

Great purchase my friend, I love Little Big Planet. It's like The Sims on steroids.

But that's still quite a big list of games that I'm probably never gonna get around to playing/playing again. >_< If I'm gonna keep any of them I'd need a really strong reason to... I'm still open to suggestions on what I should keep, though.

EDIT: Just counted them up. 143 games. ****! :o >_< :-/

FURTHER EDIT: This isn't a sales pitch, please don't make me offers on any of this stuff. When I've decided what I'm actually gonna sell I'll post in the buy/sell section.

Yes, well, I had this whole rant planned out just for you alxbly, but it turns out there is a limit where poasts can't be larger than 100,000 characters. Therefore, I shall paraphrase it below:

You're crazy, insane, and mad crazy insane to be considering selling your stuff. You have no respect, I guess somebody hasn't beat enough respect into you with a bat, it's time you met my bat 'o respect (there were about seven or so paragraphs involving the bat, mostly involving brandishing and beating). This is BLASPHEMY!, such talk is complete and utter BLASPHEMY! (there were about thirteen paragraphs mentioning BLASPHEMY! and sacred things and such, which looped back to the bat and more whacks across the head). I am ashamed to know you (to end on I somehow turned the piece into how it has affected me and how you're ruining the world, not sure how it went that far but it did. Then it ended with one last bat beatdown for good measure).

Here are some comments on your choices:

Don't sell Doom for the GBA... DESTROY IT! Do not subject someone else to that atrocity!

Wait, why are you selling Mario Kart: Super Circuit? Didn't you say you missed Super Mario Kart? Super Circuit contains every single track from Super Mario Kart, so why not keep it instead of buying the original?

You phail for even considering selling the following GameCube games:
Battalion Wars (BLASPHEMY!)
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour > you
Metroid Prime 2 (can't handle the awesomity?)
Super Smash Brothers Melee *explodes from rage*
Tales of Symphonia = the only RPG I liked in recent years

You shall be banned for considering selling the following N64 games:
64 Oozumou (Japanese import)
1080 Snowboarding
Aerofighters Assault
Animal Forest (Japanese import)
Armorines Project SWARM
Automobili Lamborghini
Bangaioh (Japanese import)
Blast Corps
Forget this, it's just easier to say your whole ****ing list is awry, except the Pokémon games of course. Sell those.

I'm getting tired here so I'll have to wait until later to convince you to keep them... but whatever I do, I'm sure it will involve a bat.

^ Why? If I'm not gonna have time to play it, what's the point in keeping it? Must have is only relevant if you have time, or the desire, to play the stuff. Just now I lack on both counts cos I'm too busy playing "Sony and Microsoft crap". ;)

Yeah, but I want one to play on my TV. And, no, the crappy Gamecube Game Boy Player will not do. Virtual Console or nothing!

Anyway, to go through the list:

Battalion Wars = meh. It was okay but nothing great.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour = lame except in multi and I'd never choose this over Wii Sports

Metroid Prime 2 (can't handle the awesomity?) = would rather handle the awesomity of Metroid Prime 3... and I can't even find time to play that. I'm not 100% sure about selling this game though, I have played through quite a lot of it... but I think I'd rather play the third game. Light/dark areas=broken gameplay.

Super Smash Brothers Melee *explodes from rage* = I've not played it in years, not gonna start again now.

Tales of Symphonia (the only RPG I liked in recent years) = Fair point but there's current gen RPG's I'd rather play.

Keep Metroid Prime 2, it's a great game and it's part of one of the greatest trilogies ever... play it before MP3, that way you'll appreciate the improvements like controls and graphics more. That's what I'm doing, and that's why I have an unplayed copy of MP3 since October 2007 :).

Also, keep Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, unless you have SMW already on another format. If you sell Super Mario World, it will end (the World, of course).

Keep MGS TTS unless you prefer the PS1 version (only if you like the rest of the series).

Keep We Love Katamari if you liked it even a bit, it's too great too sell. It's greatness is pure win.

For the rest, good list. I see what you're doing since I did basically the same thing around a month ago - I sold 28 games and my N64 to make place for all the new stuff that's coming out. So go on and sell all that if you don't see yourself playing it anymore... after all, there's no point to collecting anything, and that includes games.
