Guilty Conscience

[Nero 99]

Have you ever sold a system and then felt guilty about it afterwards? what I mean is is that I'm a huge nintendo fan And I've always rooted for them. But after not playing my Wii for over six months I sold it and bought a psp(which I've been enjoying ever since:-D). BUt now it kind of feels like I have betrayed them and i feel guilty about it. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Sellers remorse?

I've had times where I've bought a system and regretted it, but to this day I've never sold a console (games for a console is another story).

Just ask yourself what Cloud would do! Would he sit around and mope about decisions made and hit points lost, or would he look to the future? It's just like when Aeris died in Final Fantasy VII. Cloud curled up in a little ball of depression for a while, and then he confronted his guilt and realized that he had to move on and embrace the present.

Aeris was your Wii, but she's gone. Tifa's your new PSP, and she has bigger tits.

Shit. I'm sold. If you can argue with that logic, I feel bad for you.

That's what I always fear most when I think about selling my TurboDuo. However now that I'm 100% okay with doing so and ready to part with it, no one seems to be serious about buying it. Oh well, I can wait. :) Then again the Heartbeat Personal Trainer is the rarest game item (counts as a system too) I'll ever own (or see) and I never looked back after selling it for 25x what I paid.

No. Traded a Jaguar for a bass guitar. I do not regret that in the least. *Plays Tom Sawyer*

I don't own either system, but this post makes me wanna buy two PSP's.

Hell, I'm gonna buy three and rock out like it was Total Recall.

And no. I've never felt as though I'd 'betrayed' a company when I sold their product. They're a company, not my friends. They don't care if I live or die, unless I die before I give them all my money. They're a business; why would I invest emotionally in them?

I think selling my Gamecube before going to medical school, for example, was one of the smarter things I ever did.

Seriously: if you're not using it, you're not going to later. I don't see the Wii aging the way the TG-16 or the Genesis did. Those are things I'd regret selling. But the Wii? Except for maybe Zelda, there's no timeless classics on that machine yet.

I keep mine around because a) my fiancee' will kill me if I get rid of it, and b) the Virtual Console warrants the selling price.

I've felt bad over a few system sales (except the Jaguar and Sega CD), but when you need money "There Will Be Blood" or regrets if you prefer.

[Sudo]

I regret selling my NES, SNES, Genesis and Sega CD ages ago. The Wii, oddly enough, I don't regret getting rid of.

[X SMF X]

I have had these feelings you speak of but in the long run it turned out for the better. I just recently sold my 360 after not playing with it for quite some time and reliablitiy issues (I was heading for my fourth in 2.5 years and decided I had enough).

If you now have a system you enjoy playing it all owrked out for the better.

[josekortez]

I've had trade-in remorse. I got rid of my entire N64 collection when I had it the first time so I could get a Dreamcast. I'm talking Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Smash Bros and the one game I regret, Harvest Moon 64.

Now, I can find a loose used Dreamcast for a stone's throw on Craigslist. Don't get me wrong, I love the Dreamcast, but that was just an idiot move.

I traded my Jaguar for a Power Base Converter. Didn't regret it, either.

But the original poster was aksing about guilt, not remorse or regret. Feeling guilty for "betraying" a company is ridiculous. Brand loyalty is tool corporations use to enslave petty minds, don't fall for it.

Way back in the 80's, I sold my older sister my ColecoVision with the Atari adapter and about 50 carts for $50.00. I regret that now. Does that count??? That fucker was minty fresh too. Damn.
