Worst system you still own

As far as I know no game gear games are valuable?

Wonder Boy III is currently up for about $60 on eBay.

I noticed there were some previous listings at $55 but they did not sell and theres no listings in on uk e-bay so not sure what its realy worth?

I come accross alot of consoles and games but hardly ever game gear stuff.

Playstation 3? Yep. I am ashamed to even own one because of how much bullshit there is involving DLC and forced firmware updates that remove features. On the bright side, my PS3 can play PS2 games so it's not quite 100% worthless.

Of all people! This is shocking you would own a console with DRM/DLC.
I'm surprised you don't have a Fat PS2 with HDAdvance/HDLoader.

I like all my consoles, but if I were to nominate the worse it would be the Atari 5200. Not because of the games, there are great Arcade conversions and not because of the non centering pot sticks. The stupid contacts for the Keypad and Fire Buttons. I glued foil so many times for temporary fixes. There is the gold flex circuit inlay upgrade online, but instead I picked up a couple of Wicos that have a slide latch on the bottom to select centering on or off. The non self centering is an advantage for games such as Robotron and the exclusive home release Space Dungeon.

Speaking of sticks, I also don't like the 7800 sticks. The Euro pads or Genesis pads are so much better. Gunpei Yokoi was smart to come up with the DPad in the Nintendo Game Watch series, changed the world of gaming away from the joystick.

Lastly why didn't Atari keep up by offering a simple composite connection? They were so behind from a technological standpoint of Joysticks, recycled titles and fuzzy RF output. The 5200 single wire Auto Switch is nice but its still RF. You would think by the time the 7800 got the rerelease at least a RCA composite and audio output would have been an option.

But I still like the both of the Atari consoles. The 5200 for the exclusives and the 7800 for the Arcade two player exclusives. Both with 2600 compatibility.

I think he was referring to the grammaic error in "bigger than a xbox" as it should have been "an xbox."

Oh okay, sorry Luke. I even did an edit. Actually I thought an was only for any following word that begins with a vowel. A xbox does sound funny over An xbox though. But I'm not as my dad calls it, a Wordsmith.

you'd still use "an" because X is pronounced "ex" (starts with a vowel sound). You'd say "an X-Ray" and "a xylophone."

The Power Strike/Aleste games are hard to come by and worth a bit.

I read that 5200 didn't have 2600 compatibility and that was one of the main reasons it flopped. But I've never even seen one in real life, so I'm not positive.

Out of the box, no it didn't. But I think there was an adapter you could buy that let you play 2600 games. I'm not positive about it though.
