I really don't think there's anything cool about stacks of games on your shelves that you'll probably never play again for years. Nostalgia's great, but it's kind of a waste of space. Honestly, who is impressed by that stuff??
I'm feeling mixed about it since years and years of games aren't doing much except taking up a ton of space. I recently went out of my way to get a hard copy of Shenmue and it turns out a lot of Dreamcasts can't even read the disc well so I had to resort to just playing an emulator. What a bummer! The every growing reliance on patches and crap give even less of a reason to even own a hard copy, if you're intent is to be "future-proof" for when we're in bunkers during a nuclear fallout.
All that won't stop me from rebuying a game that I had when I was a kid, though. So ignore me...
