Game Podunker Masteroftheclaw writes, "So, you wanna start collecting video games? Fantastic! It's a wonderful hobby that'll bring you years of searching, rejoicing, and entertainment. If you're at all interested in the prospect of collecting games I must ask you "Why?". Is it because:
A) I love games.
B) I want to have the next copy of Stadium Events..."

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.

For a moment I thought that I was rich because I saw some vids from Stadium Events and I was like "I have that game, I'm rich!". lol
But the game I have is "World Class Track Meet"... But they are sooo similar that I thought they were the same. The menu, graphics and even the music are the same! Damn!
I have trouble deciding what to get and what to get rid of.
Cost...especially due to the economy. At $60 a pop for your average game that's not exactly cheap. Granted game prices haven't changed all that much but the amount of games that come out and the size of the gaming industry has.
I think I'm a minority in the game collector's group. I just collect my games, for the sake of having them... I never really thought of ever selling them in the future for profit.
I am a collector, I do it mainly because I like the hobby of video games and have liked the hobby for 21 years. It is still nice to know that many of my games are/will-be worth a bit, though I don't have any intentions nor interest in selling them. So you can say that for the most part it is because I like the hobby of video games and also part of the enjoyment in finding rare but good games(THANK YOU GOD).
