If these tough economic times are forcing you to part with beloved games and systems of the past, hoof it down to video game retailer GameStop quick: Joystiq reports that, beginning February 9th, GameStop won't be accepting trade-ins of original Xbox consoles, games or accessories. No word yet on whether the company is planning something similar for the PlayStation 2 or GameCube, but the day has to come eventually.

I usually give my old systems away to friends who are always a generation behind, but I've held on to my Saturn (I'm old) and a 2600 I bought at a thrift store a few years ago (Combat, baby!). What about you? Do you keep old systems for nostalgia's sake, or are you more like, "Out with the old, in with the new!"
