Life's too short, might as well play the games rather than have them just sit on a shelf idle. Player all the way. |

Collector because life is too short. If I would play too many of my games than I would have no time to really live. Standing at 3300 at the moment. I am collecting everything from NES. Only exception is INTV. |

I'm definitely more of a player than collector. I just don't like the idea of having games in my collection that I don't enjoy playing... (I don't tend to have much money to spend anyway :/) Also I don't care about boxes, but I try and get manuals when I can... I won't bother with them if it's a ton more expensive, but they are nice to have in my opinion (which is why I'm a bit sad that manuals are disappearing in new games ;-; Understandable yes, but still sad) |

It's a tough call. On the one hand, anything Gen 5 (N64, PS1, ect.) or older, I don't care for the box, and while a manual would be nice, I know it's hard to come by. But anything that came in a DVD case needs to be complete. DS/3DS games are the same. I won't buy them unless they have the case and manual. As for the games themselves, one the one hand, I buy games I intend to play. On the other, I have 2 PS2 games, 1 Game Gear game, and intend to get 2 PSP games, and an N64 game (and maybe a repro Genesis game), despite not owning any of those consoles, simply for collection's sake. Hell, I had 6 NES games before I ever got my NES. But those I consider special circumstances. I think of myself as a video game player, and a Mega Man collector. |

both. i have played and beat a large portion of my collection but i still wont go out and buy sports games because their cheap to pad my collection. 1500 games only a few doubles across systems and only a handful of sports games. im happy :) |
