If you don't like them, then why pay even a penny for them?
For me some of the joy comes from buying and owning the game rather than playing it. I like owning 70 Wii games and the enjoyment that I get from that pays for the game. I figure over my lifetime even if I only get an hour worth of enjoyment from the sole fact of owning the game that I can easily justify the cost at a dollar.

To be honest, that's kind of like people who collect things without "real" uses (other than being pretty), like porcelain figures, spoons, or whatever. If you like owning them, then it's worth the money spent!

Though I only collect games that I like and would want to play, I know I might never play more than half an hour on some of them, but since I own them, I know that I can play them if I feel like it at any time, and that's what I like.

It goes the same for a lot of things. I mean I see people buy movies all the time ... yet you can rent them for $1-2 from Redbox and most movies are not worth watching more than once. Or books/magazines.

I crossed 1300 items today with an amazing find! 

Not really.  My wife just bought The Boy Skylanders Giants for the 3DS. I really need to get him his own 3DS.

He is also halfway to 2600. Which I still maintain is the true gamer number...  8)

But seriously, 1300 is a huge amount.

Congrats! How close is that to a complete collection?

I just passed 100 Genesis games and I hope to buy one more PS2 game tomorrow to hit 200.

There is a total of 243 games, so I'm 143 away. So, not even halfway there.
