So i have basically broken every rule in my book - my only rule now is if i like it i collect it

lmao This is how it has been for me. Started off collecting just to have a "complete" series' for a game, then eBay and amazon stole my life! I descended into a dark dungeon of collectible madness! lol I am now the proud owner of hundreds of complete series' and rare games/collectibles, not the least of which is my "Dead Space" collection which I'm quite proud of.
My rules I try to keep firm. I have a lot of them, but I'll list the primary. They help me remain sane and allow me to nurture my addiction carefully; unfortunately I have broken my rules quite a few times. Rules are:
1) I will not collect any portable games. Portable gaming is far too rich content and quantity for me to be involved in. Sorry Gameboy.
2) I will not collect Nintendo. I know, I know, Nintendo fans go ahead and chastise me! Nintendo I am very fond of, but they, like portable gaming have a library and history far too extensive for my taste!
3) Always Sealed/brand new first. Second is Like New. Never do I
collect "very good" condition or less if possible.
4) Never buy more than 1 copy of the same game. This rule is the one that I've broken a lot lately (and not by choice). If there is an exclusive collector's edition in the UK I have to get that and the US version (if it's 360) or if PS3 I still may get US version for DLC (since UK codes won't work in US).
Ha. I like to think I'm in control of my collecting "hobby" but the truth is I can't help myself a lot of the time.
