You'd be surprised just how cheap imports can be. o_O For example, nearly every RPG in existence is cheaper Japanese than in English. And even the Japanese-exclusive ones tend to be dirt cheap.

Anyway, I'll buy games for virtually any system, and I buy both imports and domestic titles. I try to avoid PAL, though, just because that's a whole 'nother can of beans I don't feel like opening (and there are very few titles I'd want that weren't released in Japan OR the US). I'm also not into PC/calculator/cellphone/what have you games. I have a small stack of PC games, and I don't even include them on my collection list. I don't even fully know what I have. o_O Nothing special and nothing that interests me, I know that much.

Even though I'm open to just about anything, I don't collect with a mass-hoarding mentality. I go for games that I think will amuse me in one way or another, whether it be an excellently designed game or a game so terrible that it's hilarious (if it's the latter, I won't pay much, though). There's only one system that I actively want a complete US collection for - the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and I got no problems with that since nearly the entire library is great.
