[QUOTE=Luke]Funny. I'm growing kinda of my PS2 and Saturn, so I'm finally considering getting a Dreamcast. [/QUOTE]

As a gamer it might be the smartest choice you ever make.  Its truly a great system.  Hell you could probably find one brand new for under $100 if you looked hard enough.

[QUOTE=Alienblue]Because of high cost + not enough games I wanted, I didn't get a PS2 or Xbox until the current gen. Yet I got tired of my PSone too. So I got a Saturn.

Have you thought about that? Instead of wiping out your game collection (you WILL want them again some day, I know, I've done that lots of times and regretted it), get an older system you never had. How about Dreamcast? Or even Sega Master System? Hell, I'm SURE you've never played the amazing Channel F! [/QUOTE]

I actually collect for my Genesis, Sega CD, 32x, Saturn, Dreamcast, Intellivison, Virtual Boy and N64.  I've got almost 500 games total between those.


I'd NEVER sell any of my Sega games, I only buy complete games in perfect/near perfect condition so I'm very attached to my collection. 


However
 
 
The Games that get the least playtime are my PS2/PS1 games (save resident evil, guitar hero and DDR)


Those are the games i'd be trading in.




I'm an advid Sega fan.  I spend way too much money on Sega games.

And I'd Never Sell them, not for all the Xbox 360's, Wii's or PS3's in the world.

Well you can keep your favorite PS1 and PS2 games since they play on the PS3...making it basically 3 systems in one.  So you at least have that going for you.  Unless of course you live outside of Japan or the US.

Indeed.  The PS3 will now even upscale and smooth, making things look decent on an HDTV.

At least, you can do this if you are in the US and Japan.  European and Australian/New Zealand PS3s aren't as BC.

Has Sony fixed their issue of downgrading video from 720p to 480p if your tv only supports 1080i?

Until they fix that with a firmware update there's no way I'm buying a PS3 as my TVs one of the older ones.

I'm fairly sure they have, although I'm not the most reliable source on the subject matter.

Since this site favors heavily to the classic crowd, most will tell you not to sell anything.  I agree, but having a very limited budget (and a family), I usually kept 2-3 games at a time when I had my DS.  Trade (or sell) one, buy one, trade, buy...

But then again, unless it is truly classic stuff (like NES, SNES, etc.)--which you can play via roms--you wont likely miss it.

I agree with Voor on this one. Unless you are uncommonly skilled at organizing your game collection (which, admittedly, many on this site are) you are most likely going to have lots of stuff in boxes that you never use.

I would add one caveat to the buy trade thing. Don't trade your games in at Eb or Gamestop- sell them on eBay instead. In many cases you will get double or even triple what you'd get in trade from a store. The stores make almost all of their real profit buy buying games from gamers at a very low price and marking it back up. A smart business model that I admire, but not one I'm going to participate in!

If you play your cards right (you don't buy lots of sports games, which depreciate rapidly) you can take a few hundred dollars and stretch it for the whole year.
