Can't put a number on PC games since I've never counted, probably around 10 - 15, maybe 20.

If it's ROMs of the older generations then it would be over the 10,000 mark

About 75 is all I would say I own of physical copies of games.

None of my pre-PS1 consoles or games were ever kept

I tried cataloging over 1000 games before and it's a nightmare - don't bother!

Time is better spent assembling some bookcases and putting them all on display.

I have moved house so many times now that I am down to about 10-15 ps3 games, 2 ps2 games, about 6 DS games, 2 psp games as physical media. From now on I am trying to limit myself to as much digital distribution as possible as I don't have room to keep packing them up and moving them.

About 50 PS3 games, if I hadn't traded in games in the past I'd have well over 200

Same as I also keep a record of how far I've progressed in each game, rough %.

I've had about 500 games throughout the years but have sold them, lost them, had them stolen, given them away etc. I have about 100 games left I reckon.

Space is the issue. When you have a family it's very hard to justify taking up a room with video games and Gundam models!

Never really bother noting it all though, would take ages.
This is the most shocking one.Most people only have 1 game on Origin.

60 Steam games
3 Origin games
~10 'other' PC games
75 PS3 games
15 Xbox 360 games
10 Wii games
75+ PS2 games

Plus a handful of PS1, portable and retro games

Seems a lot more when you put it in a list like that. Scary

134 Xbox 360 titles (plus three from Games on Demand).

Got over my inhibitions on owning second hand games from a shop with the 360 so it's easily my console with the most games. The titles on my main console - NES > SNES > N64 > GC > 360 - seem to have more or less doubled each time.

I'm a hoarder. Gave away the NES and Mega Drive when I was no longer playing them but that, in retrospect, was a mistake. I miss Totally Rad. No-one's getting my SNES. Maybe when I'm dead.

The only time I've ever traded a game in was to switch Marvel Ultimate Alliance from the Wii version to the 360. I dislike motion controls so very much.

I had about 200 PS1 games and 250 PS2 games at one point, then i grew up, started working and realised it costs too much to hold onto the games so i traded everything in (staff in GameStop weren't too impressed when i rocked up with 250 PS2 games to trade in against a PS3!

Intend on building a gaming rig before the end of the year, so i'd imagine the catalogue will build up fairly fast in that.

How does it cost money to hold onto games?

Started collecting PS2 games again now that they're only €1 or €2 each. Managed to find the likes of The Bouncer and Alien Hominid.

32+ PS2 games come to mind, I would have to check.
91 games on Steam.
6 PC games outside of Steam.
38 PS3 games (and 20+ more downloaded games on the system itself)
2 PSP games.
4 PS1 games on disc.
11 different Collector's Editions of games.
Plenty of collectible statues, models and guides lying around too.

The part I'm especially proud of is that I still have my original copies of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and X. I'm also quite fond of my Vault-Tec lunchbox.

I used to be mad for trading in when I was younger. I would regularly get a pre-owned PS2 game a week in Gamestop, complete it and then repeat. This went on for about a year until I eventually got a job. Then I didn't need to trade in anymore.
