I still find myself from time to time loading up FF6 or Chrono Trigger on ZSNES and just picking up from the last time I left off. I've played and beaten those countless times, yet for some reason, I keep going back. Same thing with Vice City and GTA 4- even though I've beaten them, I get some level of enjoyment out of going back and playing. You're right- it's hard to spend a lot of money on a game you'll only play a handful of times. The last game I spent money on that I haven't touched in a long time was MLB 2k9 - the new "hot" baseball video game. For some reason, most of the modern baseball games, while they have great graphics and gameplay just don't hold my interest. Sierra had a baseball game, Front Page Sports '98, which I had played for a number of years. If I could get it to work with Vista, I'd probably still be playing it today. Sure, it's ancient compared to the games out there today, but all of the stuff that counts (at least to me) is there. I’m the type of person that can get engrossed in one game for a long time.

Whether it's a game, movie or car part I think people are choosing to spend their money on items they feel will value them or someone they know down the road. P.S Great article, very interesting topic...thanks. I’ve always tried to buy games that offer good replay value, though I too have a collection of games collecting dust.
