Got my 32inch tv, that I got for free from my parents (Duck Hunt works on it)

Sega Saturn With 3 Games - $30

N64 with about 20 games including Harvest Moon 64 and SSB - $20

Gamecube with Luigi's Mansion and alot of controllers and memmory cards - $10

Yeah In my area people think retro games are worthless, but that's great for me!

Yea no kidding. I probably own a 100+ PS2 titles for less than a $1 each. It's very impressive how saturated the PlayStation market is. I've gotten great games for the console extremely cheap.

Yea, not familiar at all. I stopped purchasing Nintendo products after N64. When PS2 came out I knew it was the system for me. I haven't really went back to Nintendo since. Now I'm researching some of the games for the console and it seems like many of the great GameCube games were cut and paste name brands from previous Nintendo titles. (No offense) That's why I was interested in games like Pikmin, and Metroid. I was a heavy N64 gamer, and I never experienced those game on the N64 console and wanted to try them out for the first time. The problem that I keep running into is GameCube games seem to have much higher re-sale on games than it's PS2 and Reg. Xbox counterparts. However, I still think I can get a good collection going for under $10 :wink: Just gotta work my magic and be patient.
