So, after reading the interview of singlebanana it made me think about what the reasoning is behind my collection. My collection is put together by several factors.
The first thing about my collection is that it has current systems (Wii and PS3). This is strictly due to the fact that I wasn't a collector at all. I dumped my old systems almost immediately after a new system came out (see my description).
The second criteria of my collection is that it began as "strictly" optical disk based systems. This got thrown right out the door as soon as a genesis was donated to me, haha.
The third thing about my collection is that I emphasize the SEGA systems pretty heavily. This is mainly due to the fact that I never had a SEGA my entire life until recently.
The fourth criteria of my collection is that I take donations. "If it's free it's for me." Right?
And last but not least in terms of why I get certain games is pretty simple. If I know the franchise already and it's in the series, chances are I'll get the game. Other selections are based on reviews, or are simply looked back on as must haves, or classics, or even games that defined a particular system.
What about you? What is your reasoning for the things you collect in the video game world?
