I think you can afford a better camera to more properly showcase everything....

Most of his stuff is CIB, so it looks like more than it is. He does have a lot, no doubt, but look at the systems and games on his website. Plenty of people here have more systems (myself) or games (he's got 1000 more than I, but others have more). A lot of his games would be called "filler". What is worth more? Panzar Dragoon Saga (US ver.) and Radiant Silvergun, or a couple hundred sports titles?

It's the presentation and the amount of stuff in a small area that is the real "WOW" factor.

Agreed. To me the WOW was based more on storage and organization than the actual collection. I think THAT was truly impressive. But all of that boxed stuff is still really cool. I really only collect the games and actual carts (I'm too cheap to do much more than that :roll: ), so looking at all those boxes is pretty neat.

Indeedy. Nice room of stuff. Sure some filler, but still very nice. I see the camera too, good idea.

First, Thank you very much for all the comments. Good or bad, i can appreciate a critic.

For the camera, many seem to comment from the pictures of 09, if you look at pics from 2010, they are much better... hence a new camera has been purchased.

Also about the pics of 09, I know everyone loves the shelfs... sadly they are gone since beginning of 2010 due to my little arcade phase. I am VERY disappointed to not have that setup anymore, but I was running out of space anyway.

My arcade phase has passed, and I am in the process of changing the room again! The far wall where all the systems are is getting a shelf system that covers the whole wall. 16 feet wide and will allow me to have "single line" game face. The old shelfs will be used for the systems and accessories. Not a big fan of plastic drawer bins, but affordable solution for odds and ends. I also have way too much memorabilia that is currently is boxes.

Updated pics when finish, should a day or two.

While we wait, here is the room being worked on:

and why Im doing this:
