    PTE76: The Hall of Gaming Memorabilia

    Figured for this one we'd revisit what used to be one of the most common threads knocking around, the games collection.

    Over the years many of us have discussed our attempts to thin our collections out or to acquire rare items and collections. The recent buys, gaming spends and related items threads are all testament to just how much money we spend on gaming as a hobby each year. Should someone one day add the yearly totals in all the Gaming Spends threads it'd be a high number but still just a mere fraction.

    So, to keep it simple, the poll relates purely to how many consoles/PCs etc you currently own. However, feel free to go into detail about the current extent and direction your collection is in.

    My gaming "collection" has been affected over the years by what might be hints of bipolar. Around August 2012 I decided I was done. I sold everything and aside from the odd console purchase and then sale until around Feb 2013 (when I bought my super slim PlayStation 3) I was only playing the MMO TERA on computer. Since then I've been buying all sorts of stuff to rebuild.

    I've repurchased quite a lot of the stuff that I hold in high regard, but still a few items allude me that I used to own - like a debug PlayStation 1.

    Currently own:

    Game Boy Light - Famitsu Ltd Edition
    Game Boy Advance - PAL
    3DS XL - PAL
    Sony PSP-1000 - NTSC-J

    PC Engine Duo R - NTSC-J

    Sega Saturn - NTSC-J (HST-3200 and HST-3210)
    PlayStation - PAL (SCPH-1002, SCPH-5552 x2) and NTSC-J (SCPH-5500 x2)

    GameCube - PAL
    Xbox - PAL
    PlayStation 2 - NTSC-J (SCPH-10000) and NTSC-U/C (DTL-H30101 E)
    Dreamcast - PAL

    PlayStation 3 - PAL

    Wii U - PAL

    In regards to games I'm purchasing Squaresoft RPGs, highly acclaimed PlayStation titles from my youth and quirky Japanese titles that I may have overlooked. Also looking to get a decent amount of the more common Japanese Saturn and Dreamcast stuff as well as the same kind of situation for PlayStation 2 as PlayStation.

    And my gaming PC which has the modest spec of i5 3570K/8GB RAM/GTX 670.

      PS4/3DS/Gamecube/PC/SNES here, so "just" five.

        Errr too many (or perhaps not enough).

        PS3 (PAL, black super slim)
        360 (PAL, OG Falcon)
        PS2 (NTSC-J, GT4 Prologue Ceramic White edition, chipped)
        PS1 (PAL, x2, both OG)
        GC (PAL, indigo, with matching NTSC-J indigo Gameboy Player)
        Megadrive (PAL, version 1)
        NES (PAL, Action Set including 2 pads, Zapper and SMB + Duck Hunt combined cart)
        Dreamcast (PAL, in yellowed condition and needs replacement)
        GBA (OG UK transparent blue)
        DS Lite (JPN white version)
        3DS XL (UK white version)
        PSP (NTSC-J black launch 1000 model)
        PS Vita (NTSC-J black launch 1000 model)
        NGPC (JPN silver slim version)
        Gameboy (USA OG version with Tetris and earphones)
        Gameboy (UK, Pocket, transparent version))
        Gameboy (UK, Colour, green version)
        Wii (NTSC-U launch white version, now with a knackered optical drive and games run via HDD)
        WiiU (PAL 32GB black model)

        I think that's about everything - but I might've forgotten the odd thing here and there! Most of it is at my parents house, there's no way I could store it all in my flat.

        Man I must really like videogames

          Currently:

          PS3 - 6 games.
          PS4 - 0 games.
          Dreamcast - Japanese model, multi region modified, about 40 games.
          PC-Engine - Running an everdrive.

          I do have a couple of additional DC consoles that came in bundles I need to sell as well as some games, but not counting them as 'mine'.

            Is "too many" supposed to represent more than 12?

                I honestly don't know. I end up missing things I thought I owned and find things I didn't know I owned. Off the top of my head -

                Megadrive
                N64
                Saturn x2
                PS1
                DC
                PS2
                XBox
                GC
                Wii
                PS3
                XBox 360
                Game Boy
                Game Boy Color x2
                Game Gear
                GBA x lots
                GB Micro
                DS x a few
                NGPC x lots
                PSP x3
                PSP Go
                3DS XL
                Vita

                And a whole bunch of games. Not massive amounts for many of the systems but stupid amounts for the handhelds.

                    Xbox one - no games
                    Xbox 360 - all the rock band/ guitar hero games. And a couple of others.
                    Wii u - 5 games, 3 unplayed (probably never will)

                    Wii and GameCube in a cupboard somewhere ready to go when someone needs one.
                    Various jap n64 games and a few PlayStation games knocking around.

                    So not a lot really.

                      My lineup:

                      Xbox 360 Go E 250 GB - Under the TV as my main console and own 8 physical games
                      PSone - In a box with around 12 games
                      Nintendo 64 - US Model with 10 games, packed up like my PSone in the office, although I plan on putting both under the TV soon
                      MacBook Pro - late 2012 model and bootcamped with Windows 7. Don't really game on this but dabble from time to time

                      I think I've found a happy medium after switching consoles for years after trying to recover as a serious collector. My PSone & N64 are keepers, I'll play my 360 till there's good stuff on the current generation of consoles and once I dip back in, I'll keep but put the 360 away. I've regretted getting rid of the 360 too many times to let it go again.

                        Pretty much, though I guess its app in the view of some with more than 4-5

                          Very nice PC indeed, and a good few quid's worth sitting there.

                            At the minute I'm rocking way too many as most of them get used very seldom.

                            Nintendo Famicom
                            NES
                            2xSuper NES's
                            2xN64
                            Gamecube
                            Wii

                            2xMegaDrive
                            Mega CD
                            Laseractive
                            3xSega Saturn
                            2xDreamcast

                            Playstation
                            PSone
                            Playstation2
                            PStwo
                            PSthree

                            Xbox
                            Xbox360
                            Xbox360 S

                            GameBoy
                            GameBoy Color
                            GameBoy Advance

                            Sega GameGear

                            The reason for more than one of a console is because of different regions. Have had quite a few more but the only console I regret selling was a PC Engine Duo R. Will be joining the next-gen party in a couple of weeks when my Xbox One arrives too!

                              Tell me about it lol! I decided to actually go next gen rather then upgraded current gen with PS4/Xbox One...

                              In all honesty though, retro gaming is still where my gaming time is mostly spent...
