But talk to people nowadays who are growing up with Xbox 360 and they just dont have a connection to any of it. They sell off the games when they finnish them for money toward the new game.

There are some true classic games that are worth playing year after year. Something like Street Rod has never seen a remake.

In some ways, I think these two things are related.  For better or worse, games have changed.  You might as well sell your average AAA X360 title after you finish it.  It doesn't have a lot of replay value, and it doesn't have a lot of uniqueness of gameplay.  So if you DO want to play it again a year or two later, it's likely that a newer and better edition of the exact same game will be out by then.  

The mass-market titles don't do a lot of experimenting.  You have to get beyond that, and into niche games like some of the good mobile and independent titles to get the level of uniqueness of gameplay that was found in many of the early titles we enjoyed years ago.

Anyhow, I think my kid was one of the ones who were on your lawn, earlier.  Sorry 'bout that.
