See, I used to be like that. But then I amassed a giant collection of games for one console. When you have something from every genre, some games really start to lose their luster.

Also, DVDs really lose their appeal too when you own 50 blu-rays.

This is why I try to only buy DVDs I REALLY enjoy...otherwise I stick to renting. With Redbox and Netflix why would you spend 20 bucks for a movie? Even with a sweet Blue-Ray setup, I'd still try to rent....

For me, very few movies will I watch multiple times in a year. A lot of movies I like to see every now and then.

Ya, but as your games continue to drop in value, the investment you continue to make in storage solutions and moving costs continues to rise. I never sold anything either, but I have come to the realization that collections of old games are not worth any value with the exception of a select few, most of which you don't own.

I also realized if I want to play these games again, I'll most likely buy them again on a newer console, like Wii or XBLA, which has been the case for most... like Castlevania: SOTN. That reminds me, the more you wait for old games to be remade, the less demand there is for the original.

Movies take a similar path as games, just they become available on various on demand services for free, or via netflix streaming. One of these days, when I have some time, I plan on going through and selling much of my older stuff. I really don't have the desire to have a garage full of games I don't play. Might as well get money for some which have value, like Suikoden II.

I know. I own all the Monty Python episodes and movies and I'm the biggest fan. I also love a lot of British comedians. But the original Office series just doesn't do it for me. There's nothing in those episodes that make me want to watch them again, except for Chris Finch, who is totally awesome.

I don't get it, either, I enjoy Extras. The original Office just kind of sucks.
