Any one else keep the receipts from games they buy?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

That's why I always unseal my stuff right away and test it out.

I will keep the receipt until I am absolutely sure whatever I bought doesn't need to be returned.

i have that same paranoia.

I've tried to keep receipts lately. Like you, I dunno if something will crap out and I'll have to return it, but it's still something I sometimes unconsciously throw away as if it were part of the wrapping paper.

Saved my ass at least one time that I know of. (SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS - the earliest US versions have a glitch were a required line of text never shows up, leaving you incapable of finishing the game.)

I keep them behind the booklets for most games I get. Usually for warranty purposes, or so I know when, where and for how much I bought the game.

Good thing I never buy new games.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

I've been doing this for about 12 years now. I don't know why. I stuff them in an accordian file folder and never look at it again.

Perhaps I'm subconsciously setting myself up for a self intervention, where I add them all up and see how much money I've poured into this hobby.

I will say that I LOVE finding receipts in the boxes/cases of used games I've purchased. It's fun to see original atari/intellivision receipts.
