Mine has grown exponentially over the last few weeks as I've tracked down every single game I've wanted or might want going back over ten years. It started with 3DS and wanting copies of games now before they become rare and valuable. Then it evolved into some 3DS and DS games that ARE rare and valuable (DQ6, DQM:J2, the boxed version of Kid Icarus are all sealed.)
Then I saw a Wii for $35 at my local game shop. I missed every single Wii game. Never played Metroid Prime 3, Xenoblade, or any or either of the Mario Galaxy games. They also had the steel book for Metroid Prime Trilogy and a like new copy Xenoblade and aww well screw it might as well get Skyward Sword even though I've heard it sucks and rebuy Twilight Princess.
I've had a PS3 for a few months now that I bought for Demon's Souls and that's it. Except while I was at the store I noticed a lot of games were under $5. Then I saw I could own all the Metal Gear Solid games for $25. I've never played anything in the Killzone, Resistance, or Infamous series and they were cheaper than dirt. I'm pretty sure we aren't going to get any further remaster of the J&D or Ratchet and Clank games so I bought those too #yolo.
I bought Bloodborne and Yakuza Kiwame steel book because they were both <$10 new and sealed. I don't own a PS4 yet (sold mine last year.)
You could say I'm becoming a little collector but really I'm motivated to play these games I just don't know how or where to start. This isn't even counting my enormous backlog on Steam. A large factor in collecting these games is that I simply can't get into playing games on emulator and there's a good chance most of these will become more expensive in the future. In the grand scheme of things I made out pretty well and snagged a good portion for below market value. In a few years that'll be next to impossible.
I digress. How do you manage your collection? Do you have any good collection /backlog database website to help you keep track of what you purchase and play? Do I have an illness? I have to admit it's been really fun tracking these games down.
