I'm w/ you on all of those, Scott -except- for the "never buying a games as an investment"...
...Any specific reasons that you don't/won't do it?
Well, first of all, I don't really have the money to put forward to buy multiple CE/LE games from day one. I hem and haw about buying the CE/LEs that I do buy because I have to justify the value of it in my mind.
Then there is the thing of choosing the right ones. And will they more than likely go up in price? But seeing a bunch of CEs on store shelves with slashed prices for 1/3 of their original price, makes me think they generally won't...
Finally, I'm bad at determining value on items. So when I go to sell something, I either mistakenly mark it for too much, thus never selling it. Or, like the case of my original Nintendo and Saturn systems, ask way to little and end up selling it for way less that it should have and feeling like a fool later.
Mostly, I'm not a big risk taker and worry about ponying up the cash to potentially not see a return on it.
It's like playing the AH in WoW. I was never any good at it and was constantly broke, ha.
