Ah... I see what you did there. How's that working out for you? You know... being clever. (No, but seriously it totally made me click on this topic out of sheer morbid curiosity)
Boy, I've got about 8 Gameboy (Yes, Gameboy, not GBA or DS) games left, about ten N64 games, a dozen or so Xbox games, and 5 Wii games in my console collection. More importantly, my PC game collection stretches back over a decade and must include at least 35-40 games. Most of which were purchased new, like in the $40-$50 range.
Topics like this are kind of hard to discuss, because it often puts into perspective all the money I've sunk into video game over the course of my life...

I used to have a bigger collection than I do now. I ran into a bit of a cash-flow issue a couple of years ago when I got married and moved in the same year (don't do that!). Talk about expensive! I wound up selling my PS2, Game Cube, Xbox and all the games for them but three or four of the Xbox games. I kept my DS and the games for it that I play regularly (about 20 DS and GBA games combined). Then, late last year, I was working at a electronics retailer that gives you big employee discounts for stuff so I used some of the money I saved from selling the above as well as a bunch of other non-gaming stuff, to get a Halo 3 Xbox 360 and a few games for it.
I also built my own PC from scratch and added a few more PC games to my huge PC game collection (numbering well over 200). I have a lot of PC games since you can't really trade them in anywhere and I have only recently found swap sites on the net that are reliable. A bunch of my games are from the DOS era and I don't play them anymore but can't bring myself to get rid of them. Even with the swap sites, it doesn't decrease my PC game collection since you swap one for one on the sites I use.
I now work at a different store that sells classic games and consoles mainly. I got a NES and SNES (all in one) console and am playing a bunch of games I haven't played since I used to play on my cousins' consoles as a kid. I've bought 3 (had to get Super Mario Bros. since it's my wife's favorite NES game, also bought two of my favorite SNES games: Defender 2 and Lost Vikings) so far and have been borrowing the rest from the store for free (employee perk). I got a good discount on the console and games too.
In the past, I have had a PS One that I got at a pawn shop along with a few games, but wound up selling it before one of my previous moves when I got my PS2.
The only console I've had for a long time is my Atari 2600 which I got when they first came out years ago. I have 26 games for it and am considering adding to that collection from the ones we have at the store.
I guess when it comes to consoles, I'm more of an upgrader than a collector until now. Now for some reason, I'm starting to get more into collecting old games.
My book collection on the other hand is huge. I've been collecting books since I was in grade school. I've lost count how many I have. Put it this way, I have 10 boxes of books in storage right now that are about twice the size of the box that the PS3 comes in that are clear full of books. I have a bookshelf in my apartment with at least 100 books on it.
You could say I read a lot.

23 games that came in boxes, around 35 that came off the net or from other people.
So around 58 PC games all up.

yeah i have a so far medium sized uber game collection but it slowly grows larger, like the blob
I'd say about 5 to 6 inches... wait, what's the topic?djeeten post=9.74933.850843 said:
Seriously though, my collection tends to fluctuate, sometimes I have a lot of games, most of them being older, cheaper games. When a game comes out that I want to get, but I'm broke, then I start to thin out my collection by trading in games I don't play anymore, just to probably buy most of them back later.
I haven't counted in ages, but a rough guess would be 200-250, not including the 60-odd titles I'm trying to sell right now. It's mostly because I buy lots of games dirt cheap (like yardsales, game clearances, and $5 last gen titles) and by the time I beat them (If I beat them) they're worth pennies, usually a dollar or less. Most of the time I'd rather keep it then have an extra .50 cents or whatever. For my systems, I'd guess I have about 15 Snes, 3 Nes, 12 Wii, 30 N64, 3 Virtual Boy, 25 Gameboy/Advance, 10 Ds, 30 Gamecube, 15 Genesis, 15 Saturn, 20 Dreamcast, 20 Ps2, 10 Playstation, 35 Xbox, and 25 Xbox 360 games.
I have 13 PC games, counting mods adn expansion packs, and 2 PSP games. I have about a dozen PS2 games but I don't play them anymore.
I see whut u did thar.
I have a small collection of games most people wouldn't like. A few launch titles (that were bad) a few gems, and a few Samurai Warriors games.
Yes, I know they're not good games, I still liked them for some reason. Played the hell out of 1 & 2.
Moving onto the PC, I have a much larger collection but it's mostly older games or less graphically intensive ones.

I don't have an exact count, but I have FF1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 on the ps1/2, I still need to find 3&4 for Sony, I also have FF1 on the PSP, and FF7:CC for the psp. I think I have a total of like 4 psp games. I owned all the Twisted Metal Games for the PSX, but sold 1-3 for 4... YEa, I'm still hitting my self on that one!
Gia, Dragoon, tons of rpgs on the psx. I had RE2, but traded it for RE3, I've got like 3-4 RE games between the psx/ps2 now...
I believe my total console collection is somewhere in the 50-100 range. FF alone is like 15 total games, (not including nintendo itterations) and thats only a 1/4 of my collection...
PS3 is around 10 or so games... MGS4, Resistance, Some lame RPG, GTA4, Warhawk, UT3, ect.
Can you tell I own alot of PS games?
PC, I don't even know how big that collection is. ITs HUGE, I have at least 20 games I bought online through d2d, and probably double that sitting the shelf and randomly discarded CD's...
