u know what stinks (selling game console)

Post by **RyaNtheSlayA** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 12:39 am

when you sell a game system then have a sense of nostalgia and want it back, i guess it happens to most anybody that sells their consoles though, like just today i wanted to buy a dreamcast again to play sega rally 2, luckily the saturn version worked to keep my mind off of it till it was over. have u guys ever bought a game console and forgot the reason you sold it and ended up buying it back?

(granted i will eventually get all the systems back but i wanted a new guitar soo bad plus i didnt have the space for them anyway)

What kind of guitar did you get? (PLEASE don't tell me you sold your consoles for a strat.

)

when the dreamcast first came out, i sold almost my entire collection of video games to get one- including a TG16 and region switch equipped saturn.

over the years i've re-purchased just about everything but the TG16, including region modding another saturn.

Laguna LE524 HH, msrp of $999, white. Not the best guitar but I liked how it sounded compared to the others in my price range so yea. (yay 40% clearance discounts

)

I was thinking about getting a new bass but i decided to pass.

I've had just about every system growing up except for the saturn, and i am rebuying all of them now. I went off to college around the time then n64 and ps1 were out. The clunky 3-d graphics didn't really keep me gaming at the time so i didn't hold on to them. All the stuff went to the local thrift store. Chrono trigger. Earthbound. Secret of mana. Gone.

trying to buy back everything now- its a hard road, but thanks to emulation i can still pick any of that stuff up at any time. However- because of emulation i'm also looking for complete boxed stuff... which makes it pricey and the collection grows slowly.

Well...ive had 2 of every system where i ended up trying to buy them back but run into issues needing money...360, wii, and ps3 can get you a VERY quick 300-600$ with games so...they had to go. The dreamcast and saturn...id only sell the saturn if i could get my hands on a region switched saturn, or jap saturn. Unless....i need money extremly bad

My mom gave my old NES and the games I had for it away for charity. I had all the old NES Star Wars games, too...Empire Strikes Back was so awesome....
