Two factors are causing my video game backlog to shrink at an increasing pace: I'm not interested in most new games that come out, and I no longer feel compelled to finish a game to the end when I play it--I put it away when I feel the margin of return on time spent versus enjoyment has reached a plateau. For some games, this second point is emphasized because there is no end, like LittleBigPlanet or your MMO of choice. As jsz0 said above, good taste is about being selective. I think part of good taste is also knowing when you've had enough and when you've cleared your plate do not always occur at the same time.
