Your thoughts about owning duplicates of the same console

. All of them are at a girlfriends house because she plays them. Plus when I'm over there I have something to do if she's in the shower or cooking.

Do you have more than one girlfriend, lol

I will pick up an additional console if the price is cheap enough or if it offers a sufficient advantage over the one I already I have. EG NTSC N64 over PAL, or 60GB BC PS3 over 40GB PS3).

Sometimes a deal is too good to pass up, like my 60GB PS3, I didn't really need the BC since I have a PS2+HDD and a PStwo. But at £150 including box+HDMI+DS3+PSeye I couldn't really pass it up, I would've been nuts to pass that deal up, especially since they regularly go for at least £100 more than that sans boîte. Fiancée still wonders why I have two PS3s, the "I play PS2 games on it every now and then" just isn't a justifiable reason.

I also bought another PSone the other day because I needed one to test some PSone screens without having to fuck about finding a compatible power supply. It was £10 which was less than the petrol money to go to my mother's house and fish my other PSone out from her loft. No brainer really. Plus when I got it home it was chipped which is awesome.

BTW if anybody knows why it outputs NTSC video although it's a PAL system please visit this thread: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 17&t=18919

Well to stay on topic..... there's no problem with having multiple systems to play when one breaks or loses it's appeal. j/k

Some duplicates are an absolute essential! I must have at least two copies of the following games at all times... just incase one goes down, acts up, or if I need to let a friend borrow the game.

Super Mario Bros 3 (my boxed copy has to stay on display
Mario 64 (just because i love this game and a copy should go along with any n64 sale)
Final Fantasy 7 (Black label copy stays mint)
Mario Kart (my favorite game on snes)

Plus I have many many duplicates of different editions of the same game. Street Fighter 2 comes to mind as I have it on the SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, Satrun, PS2, and who knows how many other systems.

I just realized you meant the same console.

Well I have a ton of duplicate consoles I have bought in big lots to get the games I wanted. I really need to sell allll of the duplicates except the NES. An NES anyone should have two of because they can be so finiky and plus who doesnt need a working nes at all times!?!

Lastly, I will end up having 2 xbox360's because one was just banned for being modded and I need some xbox live halo action.... so I will have to buy another unmodded system for live action and keep the modded system to play my 100 plus backups.

I don't really think it's necessary. Like I saw a video of a guy who had 6 top loading NES systems. he doesn't need them. They're so rare and so many people want one. And he hogs six of them?

What's the big deal? It's not like they do anything better than a regular NES with the 72-pin connector replaced. I could go on ebay and buy one right now without cutting into this guy's six. Also, it's not like people are actually suffering due to lack of a top-loading NES.

I got 2 Sega Saturns. 1 for Single Player games and 1 for Multiplayer.

Oh, and then there's if you have 2 floors on your house obviously you need an NES on each floor. Most of my gaming stuff is in a big room in my basement with only 2 tiny windows. It sucks to wake up on a weekend morning and crawl into my gaming cave like some sort of troglodyte. Much better to play some NES in the living room while I drink my coffee.
