Due to disc space, none. I deleted 9 to make room for 10.

Afino · 05-24-2009, 11:20 PM

Yeah, I deleted 2007 as soon as I got 9.

I'll have to keep 9 for a while though, until my online leagues switch over to 10.

canadiancreed · 05-24-2009, 11:22 PM

I had 6.5 till I got the new system and the league that I was in closed. Now it's just 9

Kelric · 05-24-2009, 11:35 PM

Just OOTP9. I still have my download codes for every version since OOTP4, but I don't see a need to keep the games.

SackAttack · 05-25-2009, 12:22 AM

6, 6.5, 2007, and 9, although I remember playing the series as long ago as 4.

I think I had a different computer for 4 and 5, though, and just never bothered to redownload those.

scblcommish · 05-25-2009, 01:59 AM

I have installed 5, 6, 6.5, 2007, 8, 9, i have the Black Sheep 2006 as well (but we don't talk about that one much, and also ITP that i play now and then when i feel really bored.

I have licences for 3 and 4 as well

fantom1979 · 05-25-2009, 03:29 AM

4,5,6.5,2007

The only one I have deleted is 2006.

The only reason why I deleted that one is that it is the only version that I don't have a league in.

Same for me.

Cryomaniac · 05-25-2009, 08:02 AM

5, 2007, 8 and 9.

Curtis · 05-25-2009, 08:16 AM

Just Version 9. I kept 2006 until the second patch for 9 was released, at which time it was no longer necessary. 2007 went out the minute Version 9 was released, as that was the real dog in the series (for Macs).

treedom · 05-25-2009, 08:28 AM

I usually just go with the latest version. I keep the previous one only until any online leagues I'm in have switched.

AndrewG · 05-25-2009, 09:47 AM

I had the old freeware version for a couple of years but deleted it when I got 8 last year. Once I get 10 (preordered it.. apparently it will be out coinciding with start of MLB season

) Ill back up 8 on DVD after importing it into 10.

With sports sims/games I rarely have more than the newest version I own on it. For a few war games I won I might have 2 or 3 different ones.. and even then I might just save 'saved games' and reload around it when I want to finish.

As mentioned by a previous poster, disk space is limited with digital pictures and transfers from the hard drive camcorder still in editing mode!! Plus my 15 year old daughter has a digicam and like all of her freinds it seems has well over 1000 (Honestly I believe over 2000) pics sitting there. When I tell her to bakc them up, well.... enough of havogn a teenager in the house.

linih · 05-25-2009, 09:50 AM

Two versions: OOTP 2007 and OOTP9!

I have tended to do this as well and when I say this, I mean actually discarding the prior versions. I have stopped this practice for several reasons:

I am kicking my own behind for discarding 6.5. I could have kept and played that occasionally as OOTP Lite.
While I have no feelings for OOTP 2006 and OOTP 2007/8, both of which were left with significant flaws IMO, OOTP 9 is the first version since 6.5 that I felt was finished and complete.
While researching potential online leagues to join, I noticed some were still using and requiring OOTP 2007/8 and I have heard of others still playing 6.5 and earlier. If I had kept those games, I might have more opportunities to choose from.

How can you actually discard a version though? You can always download it again and use your elicense key after the reinstall.

DreamTeams · 05-25-2009, 12:30 PM

Hmm. Still have 6.5, 2007 and, of course 9. But, will delete 2007 right away and most likely 9 later, after I get 10.

jtb · 05-25-2009, 12:40 PM

I am not playing all of these nowadays, but in honor of the release of OOTPX.

By cleaning out one's inbox and game folders.

I have been buying OOTP versions since It came out as Season Ticket Baseball 2003 -- Which I believe was OOTP3 ?

Have had a couple of hard drive crashes - and have been able to get most of the game files.

Had some problems with 6.5 and back working on Vista but i have two computers Vista and XP.
