    Exclamation slightly worrying...

    I've just been downsizing the number of games that I've got - I've thrown out about a dozen.

    The scary part is the game cases - mainly dvd style that I've just thrown out to put all of my games into a caselogic 192 cd case - and filled all but 4 pages.
    Well, that includes all of my regular software too.

    But - not even on the scary part yet. 12kg of cases, both regular "music cd" style and dvd style.
    Completely ridiculous.
    Even then, based on an average of 2cds per game, I still get an average of about 80 games. That's 2800 quid worth of games - THAT I'M KEEPING!

    Not including a few grand's worth of software.

    lol - I've got another one the same size filled with music cd's./
    It took me 3-4 days at work ripping them for my iPOD.

    The point is - I had an entire packing crate filled with games - now I'll have to work out what I can buy to fill it up again!

    It's kinda gutting when you sit there and actually think about it. Looking at my collection of PS1 and Xbox games right now, £44.99 each (generally) and I hardly ever touch them any more.

    Keep them for 50 more years and sell them on the future equivalent to ebay/nostalgia auctions. Then you would be glad you didn't pirate your games

    I don't plan on living another 50 years, hahaha!

    EDIT: Hang on, that makes it sound like I'm 50 already......I'm not...I'm 22.
