I have an NIB Atari 5200 trakball. It's even got the tape still on the trakball, never been out of the plastic. I keep thinking I should take it out and play with it, but it'll never be new again after that. Besides, I generally play my trakball games on MAME with an X-arcade. As good as 5200 arcade conversions are, they can't beat the arcade.

As long as you have a duplicate opened and being played. Shame if not.

If you have a 5200 console; yank that tape and play that trakball with 5200 Centipede, Missile Command and yes, works great on Space Invaders. Buttons actually respond nice compared to original 5200 stick.

pfff.
The way I see it, you should have two of every system. A mib/nib/mint/whatever system, to put in that a display box (like a VGA box), and then the one loose system that you actually play.

At moment I have 4 game cubes and about 10 ps2 and three xboxes.also I have 2 places to live which confuses things even more.

What.

I can sell you very nice pictures of consoles that you can display that will perform the same tasks. Plus, if you have 1 that you never play, that's 1 console that someone who wants won't be able to have

I think he was talking about collectors. If you don't collect games or consoles, then that would be an undeniably pointless thing to do, but if you're a collector it's always nice to have a console to showcase along with your collection. Of course, if you were just glibly saying that collecting is stupid then that's your prerogative I suppose....
