I was just reading these forums and in particular the Collecting Milestone thread.

I have *just* started on my collection (only 5 games old!) but have already decided to buy complete games only (media, instructions & box), as apposed to loose games.

For me, loose games are not only worthless in resale (if it ever came to that) but to me it would feel that it was not complete. Its all well and good getting to 1000 games in a collection, but if half of them are media only I would feel that I am breaking the collection code of conduct, and not having a "valid" collection.

Is it just me?
