I once thought I could get every SNES game released, but, after hitting the 250-300 mark, I found that I was out of room for the collection. I'm not interested in finishing the collection only to have most of it boxed up in storage. I ended up selling most of the games I didn't want to play. Still have quite a few to get rid of.
My buying habits now are towards the PSP and DS/3DS. Bought two launch titles for PSP yesterday for less than $5 total. This is a system that I never got into buying games for, although I've had it since early 2006. Now, nearly every title in the Gamestop section is $20 or below. I enjoy playing PS1 games on the system as well, so buying and converting those games are on my priority list. Basically, I'm staying a generation behind in regards to the PSP. I'd like to get a Vita, but no way I'm paying over $300 for the system, 1 game, and a memory card. By the time I finish playing PSP games, the Vita should be much more reasonable.
The DS games are cheap now, but GS only sells gutted preowned versions or "new" games that have 4 or 5 stickers on the case. There are still plenty of games for that system I want. Couldn't help myself last year when the 3DS hit. Ended up buying that, but those games seem to be coming down in price fairly quickly. I expect that the PS3 and 360 game price will fall after this year. What with Microsoft supposedly announcing their new system this year and PS4 announcement looming for Sony.
