When you are a poor guy, such as I, you must be able to make sacrifices to be able to afford anything new at all. And really, if it is a choice between beating Shenmue or Perfect Dark for the 50th time or buying the newest Zelda or Final Fantasy game, guess which I shall choose?
Although now that I (will) have a (summer) job, I (will) have (loads) more money so I (eventually) can buy stuff without having to sell stuff.

Thanks! Yeah, plus Gameboy Player and Super Gameboy. I'm a Gameboy whore.
Yep, I also got four GBA/GCN cables over the years, so I can play FF:CC or Four Swords at will. Too bad people are too closeminded for that stuff. We always end up playing Monkey Ball, Halo 2, DDR, Smash Bros, or Mario Kart... ugh.

Bah, I hate you. You didn't work for it, so that means you get a lot of money from your parents (correct me if I'm wrong).
And then the attitude that goes along with it. Disgusting.
At least we work for our games. Or we sell stuff first, like Link.

Re: Your collection
It's a combination of: 1. Spending nearly all my money towards it, and 2. Knowing where to look for great prices. I have the privelege of knowing places like Willow Video and Mostly Music where I got at least a half of my collection at $10-$20 a pop.
Yeesh, I thought at least other people would post theirs.
My parents havn't bought me games since I was like 15... Or younger... I went through a phase where I basically had to sell or trade (not to stores, through trading sites, one game for another) old games in order to play new games, and still never got to play all the games I wanted to...
And now I have a job and have like 15 games sitting on my shelf that I havn't even started playing
Uhhh yeah I'd post my collection but I'm lazy right now, maybe later...
Ok, I don't want to disappoint Dyne by him being the only one posting his collection!
But anyway, my collection certainly isnt big and not impressive at all (compared to Dyne anyway). I've got a PS2, GCN, and an Xbox. I've only got a few games for each, and then a bunch of random psx rpgs.
And just to let you know, my digital camera sucks and the lighting in my room is really bad, so I couldnt take a pic of any of the systems, except the gamecube, and I had to use a lighter just to partially see it (bad camera like I said, it's worth only 80 bucks... Canadian). My Xbox and Halo 2 are currently loaned to my brother (but not for much longer, and I still have Fable with me..). But anyway:
To start things off (first two attached pictures), I posted my three gaming items that came in boxes... WoW (which I'm only level 8, havent played in weeks but I plan on getting back into it soon), FFXI (crap), and my Xbox Live box! yay.
Next two pictures are my very precious Suikoden games, I've got all three... and the fourth is due for release next week, I can't wait!
The two pics after that are my only 3 GameCube games, Wind Waker, it's bonus disc, and Metroid Prime. I plan to get MP2 soon, I could've got it for xmas but I chose to get some CDs instead.
Then it's Fable and GTA: SA (with my hand in the pic). I got about 3/4 into Fable and never really got into GTA, I'm probbaly going to trade GTA in tomorrow when I pay for my Suikoden IV pre order.
The rest are assorted pictures of some of my PSX rpgs, and that concludes my awesome game collection. If they dont fit in this post I'll just continue them in the next.
