I'm going to upgrade to a Pro once I get a 4K TV and once Nyko releases a data bank for the Pro (I have a 5 TB HDD in my PS4, and that's almost half full; a tiny ass little 1 TB ain't gonna cut it). I've decided not to trade my original in, though; I'm just going to put it in my bedroom. Can't very well watch VR porn in the living room when you have a roommate.... :lol:

Is it easy throwing in a new drive? I know it looks like a cake walk for the PS3 (planning on upgrading my 120GB to 1TB and should be good there).

I feel a bit too lazy with externals so I never really feel like going that route. My hooked up shelf is jam packed as is.

It's every bit as easy with the PS3. Nyko's Data Bank is a *little* more complex, but it's still a pretty simple process. The biggest pain in the ass is backing up your data, installing the OS from a flash drive, and restoring your data.

I think I''m going to stop buying valuable Nintendo DS games on ebay. They are making fakes on Aliexpress now that look EXACTLY like the real version in every way and what sucks is there is no way to pop open the cart to see if they are real.

You say that, but from the perspective of a collector on a small budget, ignorance is bliss.

If the game smells like Advance Wars and looks like Advance Wars and plays like Advance Wars then isn't it Advance Wars?

I've run out of shelf space in my game room - again. This is going to be a recurring problem. At the rate I'm going I'll eventually just have to start tossing things in storage.

Well yes it's the same game, but you have to worry about it glitching out and the longevity of the cart since it's a boot.

Nonsense. Get rid of some unnecessary room, like a bedroom or the kitchen, and turn it into another game room.

I hear ya. Two winters ago I bought two new media shelves, which added a ton more storage space for the bulk of my games over what I previously had. I'm already nearing max capacity. I've been considering getting track shelves so I can do floor to ceiling shelves and maximize the space, but I'm scared to commit to it. My fear is putting the holes in the wall to mount the tracks, if I ever want to rearrange furniture I'll have some very unsightly holes in the wall.
