Well I wouldn't buy another system unless I had money to get at least a few games for it. I think prices on systems stay pretty consistent so I'd probably buy games first.

Honestly, those are all good choices. I know that doesn't help lol, but there's no bad decision there.

The place I buy from always includes 2-3 games. I was looking around, and if I don't get a system I will probably get 3-5 used DS games.

I'll just a couple things to be wary of. As far as purchasing a console and building a collection go: the Genesis will likely be your cheapest option, and the Saturn would be the most expensive (especially if you're not burning games). You could probably hold off on the Wii for now, just wait until some of Nintendo's new 1st party titles start showing up. Other than that, each console has it's own specific strengths and quirks, so with the given options you really can't go wrong.

Also, I have a bunch of gamecube games. I used to own one, but I was forced to give it to my little cousins. ( "you won't use it, you have an xbox 360" right on the eve of twilight princess :evil: ) So I have Zelda wind waker, zelda collectors edition, zelda master quest, prince of persia sands of time, rogue squadron 3, metroid prime 2,lord of the rings return of the king, and mario sunshine. If that helps.

Yeah, I was leaning towards, in this order, 1/2 genesis/gamecube ( can't decide) 3 more games 4 PS2

If you haven't given your gamecube games a lot of time, then I'd go with the cube. You have some good titles, but no system. It's worth noting that you could easily put together some quality titles for the genesis in a relatively short amount of time though, so I understand your dilemma. Guess it just depends on what you're in the mood for.

Yeah, I like to think my 'cube collection is pretty good 8) I really want to play prince of persia and wind waker again. :P The genesis is $30 with 3 games and the 'cube is $35 with 2, thought I might see if I can get it knocked down if I take the games off. They both come with hookups and controllers.

I think the PS2 is the best system of all time given its immense library of excellent (and now very inexpensive) games. If you don't have one, you should get one.
