when i told them i had ?25,000 in extra items they kinda laughed and told me they couldnt offer that type of specialist insurance for that room alone

they offer money back at ?2000 per item or collection

per item its good but for a collection its very poor

[HaHaUK]

but how big did they say the collection limit was, becasue you can have a 'collection' of ps2 games, another 'collection' of neo-geo games, etc.

but a bank manager (mainly the norm) wont know what you're on about

so in the policies that alliance and leicester sell its ?2000 per single item or ?2000 for a collection

if i could get away with ?2000 per single item within a collection - the policy would be incredible

gonna shop around when i get some leave

What a great thread - so very reassuring to know im not the only one, and most of you guys put my collection to shame (watch out, it'll only motivate me to get more)

anyway, here it is

http://www.pirotic.com/album_console.htm

the problem with my collection is i dont have any shelves/cabinets in my gaming room yet, so its all just sort of chucked around the house until then - i dont really have that many unique consoles (compared to some of you), but i do tend to have 2/3+ of each console

[Ginger Tosser]

Nothing small about that collection!

I do think every collection needs a spectrum.

Thanks! My 'mission' is to get every console released since my birth, The problem with collecting consoles is deciding what is considered a console, the spectrum shouldn't really be in there i dont think, but then you get stuff like the Town FM (which was a PC in a box) and Amiga CD - i dont know if i need them for it to be complete or not :P other than that its just some variations and a PC Engine/NeoGeo CD(Z) and i'm done for now.

Wish i could fit it all together for one big picture, but i have such a ****ty old digicam it can't do a high enough resolution (something for the christmas list i think).

What do you guys consider consoles?

[katamari]

It's a fine line. Amiga CD32 is a console in my book. I guess if it's primary purpose is to play games and it doesn't come with a keyboard as standard, then its a console.

Very nice collection BTW. What no Vectrex? Bit old I guess.

After an entire weekend of sortin this lot out think I've finally got a setup I'm happy with

I'd say the Amiga CD32 was definately a console. The aim of my collection, jus pretty much buyin stuff I like the look of and keeping the stuff I do like.

Stuff that isn't pictures are my 48k "rubber keyboard" speccy (Ginger Tosser is right, EVERY1 needs a speccy in their collection) got a Pair of +3s somewhere too, and commodore 64 and a couple of Amiga 500s and an Atari ST, all that lot (along with the masses of games) are up in the loft and the consoles that are wrapped up in one pic have been put into the loft as replacements and so they're outta the way.

There is a little bit more in my bedroom, a few SNES/N64 games inc CastleVania a Vampires Kiss and Mario Kart etc and a Philips CDI machine amongst others got a brand new boxed Game.com lyin around somewhere too.

Blimey, that's a pretty healthy looking Dreamcast collection you've got there Smegman.

Smegaman when you told you was a bit of a dc collector i didn't realise you was aiming for every released game
