I look at the back of Skyward Sword, in the game store and look at the hefty price the label comes with. Now i think about purchases like these more than most it seems.
I mean i am a huge Zelda fan actually. But my mind drifts to the fact that, at home, i have around 10 different gaming platforms and between one and two hundred games. It often occurs to me, "dont i have enough already?". I have so many classics that are so replayable that i play reguarly from the collection.
So in this case i think i could perhaps instead fo buyign skyward sword, revisit all of the previous entries that i own, which is most of them. Some of the greatest games in history. It'd satisfy my craving and i'd have an absolute blast. Plus it'd keep me entertained for weeks and weeks with all the games to get through. The oracle games, minish cap, the original on NES. I've did it with Klonoa before, though that is a smaller series.
But i suppose what this is about is i dont understand this buy, buy, buy attitude. I'm willing to assume many of the people here have a collection as large or larger than mine. I'm pretty sure most of those people still purchase new games liek well behaved consumers liek clockwork, without so much as a thought for what they already have. So let's talk about the attitude towards getting new software over appreciateing the many many games we already own.
