Thats the reason I joined this forum originally, to ask about games to see if they are worth spending my money on them.

My partner has a 360 and ps3 and will buy a game he likes, complete it and then sell it on Ebay pretty close to its release date, he ends up only losing about £5 which means the game was a bargain imo! He only sells the games he wont play on again though, he wont sell Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 as he loves the online gaming too much!
The games he sells though, even though they would then be classed as second hand, are in the same condition as when he bought them!

I do envy him for being able to let his games go so easily, I seem to not want to get rid of any of the games I buy... just in case, one day, i might want to play on them again!

Great blog again Foo

Lol you're exactly the same as me!

I'd also love to be able to do what he does, iagine how much cheaper it would be! But I just never been able to bring myself to sell my games

I like to think that in a few years from now I might find the Wii again and restart all of these games... Unfortunately what usually happens in the next console comes out... I buy it... Then sell the old one for next to nothing

Luckily they're starting to make new consoles backward compatable now!

Lol! I just keep all my old games, I have 75+ ps1 games that I just cant bring myself to sell. I think its partly that I know I will get next to nothing for them, and the the sentimental value is priceless! I even have some games I bought at the local petrol station when I was younger with my pocket money that I have never played on! I keep hoping maybe I might just start playing them one day.

By the time we do end up having another go on the old games, we would have probably be able to pick them up in a retro gamers store for a fiver! ha ha!
