Buying a game, selling then buying it again..

i buy, and keep all my games... i still have 100+ ps1 games (and some non-released rare ones too, perks of having someone work at sony when the PS1 was in development :))

I also keep everything. Still have old Atari 2600 games, DOS-based PC games, TXT based Commodore 64 games, etc.

Had a strange visitor last night who had a craving for some console action. After browsing through my PS3 collection, she asked, "Don't you have anything else?" So I showed her the PS1 collection (so glad the PS3 was backward compatible!) and she ended up playing Tekken for hours. :D

Got bored the other night and hooked up the old Nintendo NES. After fiddling with the cartridge for a few minutes (darned NES contacts!) ended up playing Tetris. First time since 1990-ish, got 100 lines first go. :)
 
I have done this with GTA 4 twice and will be doing it a third time, as I want to play The Lost And Damned, The Ballad Of Gay Tony.

You don't need the original to play those, they're standalone. (At least the disc based versions are.)
 
AS ic1male said the disc version is stand alone so you dont need the gta4 disc. Not sure about if you purchase them as DLC though. Would probbaly be cheaper to buy the disc version, also I think it has more in game radio stations than the DLC.
 
Well I thank all three of you :cool:! I just goggled it and found Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City (PS3) :). No guesses on what I'll be picking up next week.
 
Ones that spring to mind for me.

Fallout 3
Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10,12
GTA4
Saints Row
Tomb Raider 1
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Shenmue 2

Yeah done it before.

Usually I buy games on release for full price, finish them, sell them on while they are still worth something.

Then later down the line when they've dropped to bargain basement prices i'll re-buy them if I enjoyed the game and wanted to replay it.

This. A few of the games on my shelf are games I've bought a 2nd time (Fallout 3, Oblivion and Bioshock come to mind), and I'll no doubt do it with games such as Mafia II which I sold this weekend after finishing it inside 2 days. It makes sense to me, might as well get some money back for the titles now while they're worth something, then pick them up dirt cheap in a few months time when there aren't many new releases out and I fancy playing them again.

haha...i did similar, and hooked up my n64 the otherday suprisingly more fun than playing on my 360 :rolleyes: must do it moar! lol
 
Do DOS-based games still work on modern day PCs? I know there is DOSbox but does that handle absolutely everything?
 
Picked up Batman Arkham GOTY with 3D glasses (lol) for PS3 and Call of Duty World at War for £20... £10 each, not bad...!! Replaces the ones I foolishy traded up.
 
Just bought Mass Effect for the third time. :D This time on the Xbox Games on Demand whatsits so at least I can't sell it again.

Might take some fiddling, but I'm sure there are ways to get them running in compatibility mode. I found my copy of Duke Nukem and want to give it a go that way. I'll try to remember to post my efforts/results.
 
Just got Dead Space again to play through at some point before the sequel lands next year, although it was second hand off a mate and only cost me a pint, which was a no brainer ;)
