The only eason I keep it is to see Euphoria. Damn that's geeky, but it's funny and impressive, so I don't care. And I keep all my games. I still ahve Splinter Cell Double Agent, and that's the worst game I played this generation, specifically because it's a PS3 choppy framerate port.

I've still got this" and then completely forget it again.
