If I ever decide to get off my lazy ass and go dig through my collection I would gladly sell it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike030270 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Are you collecting just the devices or the different versions of them as well? Also is the PSP going to be in your collection? I don't see it in the picture or your list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is the PSP going to be in your collection? I don't see it in the picture or your list Starting off with 1 of each. So for example I have a Xbox 360 star wars edition. I wont be looking for a reg or halo version just yet. Maybe once I land all the consoles I can look into adding different versions. I have a few that I have 2 but only because I was given the extra one for free. PSP is a option, just didnt think to add it to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent23 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I sold my launch PS3 back in the Fall along with a WiiU (both bought by the same guy). I sold my Vita around the same time and I think I still have a PSP floating around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Nice collection! I just started putting together my own retro game room. Only have the NES, SNES, Genesis and PS1 so far. I’m cheap so I wait until a find a good deal though, so probably be awhile before I have everything I want. For the NES I even got one that wasn’t even working for like $10 and just changed out the 72-pin connector to fix it. Also have an Atari 2600 on the way from my brother in law.

The Genesis kinda looks bad on the newer TVs so I was looking to get an older CRT TV just for the older systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Genesis kinda looks bad on the newer TVs so I was looking to get an older CRT TV just for the older systems. I picked up a Sega Dreamcast as well since my last update. Along with a Gameboy and Sony PSP. Id recommend getting a raspberry pi4 for playing any games. Well worth the $250. Mine is a top of the line model with over 18K games. So every single game you can think of on the older systems including computer games. I picked up a 6 pack of controllers that work with that are the older style as well So if im playing a genesis game, i use that controller. NES I used a NES controller. Etc. This also is HDMI so plays and looks good on all the newer TVs. That raspberry pi4 I use for any games up to the ps1. Next I will be adding a GDEMU mod to the dreamcast that allows it to play digital downloaded games on a memory stick for newer systems like PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, etc. https://www.retrogaminghouse.com/products/retropie-emulation-console-pi-4?variant=32217794412631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself I got the basic systems, none of the hand held or Atari. NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch PS1, PS2, PS3 OG Fat, PS3 slim, PS4 XB OG, 360, XB1 Genesis, Dreamcast NES, SNES, Genesis mini You ever try out those Retron systems? There is one that plays NES, SNES and Genesis in HD. Was wondering if it's any good? I have a Retron 2 that plays NES and SNES and seems to work very good.

I have not tried any of those retron systems. I went straight for the raspberry pi4 since I dont need to buy the games anymore, with it. It has everyone of them on one scan disk. Its quite amazing how many games it has and how nice it looks on a HDMI TV. This way I can use all my older systems as displays and dont have to swap them in and out and buy actual game cartage which gets pretty pricey.

Consoles are just collector’s items really. I have an Nvidia Shield TV Pro and run Retroarch to emulate all the games to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais what people list them for but not what the price value is or what they sell for. Ebay and Facebook try to inflate prices all the time but doesn't work. Its worth around 400 on avg unless its mint with box etc which is rare. VGPC is usually a very good site most use to base real pricing based off what they are actually selling for. https://www.pricecharting.com/game/vectrex/vectrex-system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
