Where do you find those or even more important is what are they, especially the one on the bottom? Those are really nice looking.

I don't really have anything that's a pride and joy, I have 8 consoles and my DS but nothing really interesting or rare; mainly the stuff everyone else has (64, SNES, GC, Wii, Xbox, PS2 DC, Saturn). If I'm picking one it's probably my Pokemon XD Gamecube with attached Game Boy Player.

BTW, can anyone tell me which Pokemon is on the cover of said console? I knew it once upon a time but I can't figure it out now.

I suppose mine would be my boxed Duo RX (correct matching serial number) for 'coolness' and my original boxed SNES for amount of hours played and fun had.

I'll start from the top, down:

The Dev Kit is a Bungie PAL Halo 2 Dev Kit. I found it about three weeks ago at a swap meet in Cypress, California. It came with the official Xbox messenger bag. Knocked the guy down to $30.

The second is the Halo Special Edition Xbox. I found at a local mom and pop about 2 weeks ago. No original controller but Ebay fixed that. I picked it up for $45 because I have not seen one in the wild and that is a pretty good price. Ever since then I have seen one every weekend since. Go figure.

The third one is the Limited Edition Crystal version sold only in Japan and Canada. It has a nice matching controller which I picked up on Amazon for $90.00.

The last one is the Mountain Dew Limited Edition. I picked this one up on Craigslist for $80 including shipping. They guy had like 10 racing games which I sold to cover a little of my cost. This system was sold by collecting MD points and buying the system at retail cost at the time.

Not pictured is another crystal Xbox which came with some nice Monster cables for $55 off Ebay. It was the JPN version but they guy already converted to 110v. Since, it was already opened I figure I might as well add LED's and have converted to soft mod.

And my original '02 black Xbox. My pride and joy with all DL content.

I only own two consoles but my N64 has to come first I dread to think how many hours have already put into this system. second would be my OG Xbox call me crazy but it almost feels like a spiritual successor to the Dreamcast and it makes me feel all nostalgic playing it.

Pretty cool! I wrote a Laser article here you might find of interest.

"pattison90iw", is having problems with the Sega Laser Active. Perhaps you can give some insight.

Definitely the PS1. Although it is not a niche or hard to find console, it has been my favorite ever since I got my hands on it back in 1996. At at time when I was losing interest in gaming, it cemented me right back in for good. I currently have 70+ games for it with many more I plan to buy.
