How nuts are you: how many gens of consoles do you have?

We now have the Switch and can argue, gen 9 has begun.

PS5 may be here around 2019-2020. The new Xbox reportedly will not have a disc drive.

The new stuff is coming, but I'm about to buy the PS3 super slim from a buddy for my collection.

Will you skip gen 9?

Do you collect many gens/vendors? Which and why?

Me? What is left...

1 Xbox 360
1 Xbox One OG
1 PS4 OG
1 PS3 FAT
1 PS 3 Slim
(PS3 super slim soon)
Wii
Wii U
3 Gamecubes
SNES and NES Classics
2 x PS2.

I think I need another 360 for my office so I can get Time Pilot for 360.

Too much fun.

Your stuff?

 

I only play on pc

 

Xbox one and a gaming PC.

That's it.

I will probably stay with Microsoft simply because I like their online navigation far better than Sony's and since I do almost all of my gaming on PC that's all I would really use it for.

Plus I like the few Xbox exclusives better than Sony's.

 

I've got a few "play anywhere games that add value for me. Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 so far. Likely get Crackdown 3 but I don't do pre-purchases. I don't get doing that. What if the game is no good?

With a gun to my head, forced to make a choice, that is the one I'd do as well.

 

Same here. Works like a charm on single player or multiplayer online.

 

What you got?

I just built:
AMD Rizen 2600
ASUS RX580
16GB Ram

...after frying my old MB and GPU

I got everything I need to water cool it except the pumps, and they come in tomorrow

 

My home office/man cave PC:
AMD Rizen 1700
RX 480 8Gig
16 Gig RAM
256 Samsung SSD
4 TB Standard HD

So I'm about a gen behind you but we look to have similar tastes in hardware.

The SSD is the single best piece of tech I've seen come out in 10 years.

What is fun is that in 2009, I built a rig that is now in my family room hooked up to a 55" LED Vizio utilized with blue tooth mouse and keyboard and wireless Xbox 360 controller. I added an SSD and RX550 since building:
I7 - 930
RX 550 2 Gig
16 Gig DDR 3
256 SSD
1 TB drive
Plays about as well as something between a 360 and Xbox 1.

My rigs are air cooled. The I7 930 runs hot so I have a dozen fans in there. Sounds like air craft but as I have it across the room and I"m gaming on it, doesn't sound too bad.

Your rig?

 

Nice! I'm back aways:
AMD Vishera 8320 3.5-4.0 GHZ, 8-core
MSI RX560 with 4 GB Ram
8GB System ram
ASRock 970 Pro MthrBrd
400W PS
Air cooled
Standard Toshiba 1 TB HD, 7200 RPM

 

I have:
Xbox one
PS4
Xbox 360
PS3
N64 (that I still play- Mario Cart all day!!!)
Super Nintendo (one I bought refurbished in college)

 

We play Scrabble and I use a cross word puzzle.
And now and then we play Rummy.
I am learning how to use our cell phone now that we changed from flip top. We never use it so no practice to make perfect.

 

yup. SSD's kick azz.

 

Not heard of the Vishera before. Reviewing. As I wrote above, for about $50, if you can, add that SSD for boot up. Changes performance like you would not believe.

 

It's pretty old, about six years. It followed the Athlon2 proc's. Yeah, been thinking about installing an SSD. But everything is built for standard drives. So I'm fuzzy about type of adaptive hardware to use/buy to make the SSD fit the standard slot. And of course everything is money, money, money.

 

Was digging in my parents attic and found my brother's Genesis, 32x, megacd and a **** load of games.

Who needs a ps4 lol.

 

As the SSD is light and solid state and I had no official way to mount it, I connected the power and data cord and let the thing rest at the bottom of the box. Not pretty, but never gave me any trouble.

Thing likely has a ton of collector's item value! The Genesis was a great console.

 

LOL! Well, that's one way of doing it.

 

I still have the old stuff but now only use my Cyberpower PC to play games..

 

Eventhough Sonic did suck..

 

The real question is what should I put in my mini arcade machine?

I have real Sanwa's and a cnc so I can basically make anything I want. What do I drive it with?

I considered a chipped original xbox or a dreamcast. I can get native vga from an xbox which makes me lean that way. Also Xbox have great emulators, dreamcast though I could run Powerstone and soul calibur.

I also have 5 chipped xbox's kicking around and no dreamcasts so lol.

 

They are still out there.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEGA-DREAM...h=item41f423083e:g:j1UAAOSwyodb80nb:rk:9:pf:0 I loved Sonic 2 on that thing.

 

If I get one I'll mod to load from hard disk, you use the BB adapter.

Xbox has soul calibur 2 it was almost as good as Soul Calibur, DC had Powerstone 1&2 NOTHING is as good

But if I'm going to play powerstone need 4 joysticks, buttons etc.

I have at least 40 original dreamcast games in my attic but my DC blew up.

 

I did load up on mini classic Nintendo consoles, I have to admit. Once I knew I could add my own ROMs, I figured I'd spring for them. Actually have the Japanese and the US versions of the NES/Famicom and SNES/SFC, and all are loaded with extra ROMs.

Beyond that, I have my original (childhood) NES and SNES, but not hooked up, and:

1 AV Famicom (Japanese equivalent to the top-loading NES in the US)
One model 1 and one model 2 Genesis
1 Japanese PlayStation (original, not hooked up) and 1 Japanese PlayStation 2 (original, in box, not hooked up)
1 Nintendo 64
1 Dreamcast
1 GameCube (black)
1 Xbox original (not hooked up)
1 Xbox 360 (later model)
1 PS3 fat (PS2-compatible via hardware)

I also have some cartridge adapters to allow for NES, SNES and Genesis games to be played on different region consoles and a number of import games. The Dendy/Pegasus/whatever clone cartridges from Russia and Eastern Europe can be pretty funny for their artwork and naming, having been made by Chinese bootleggers.

I've been selling more than buying stuff lately, though. Not much point having a bunch of stuff around that takes up space and doesn't get used.

 

I have 6 chipped xbox's in my house 2 of them in my room

None plugged in lol.

Also still got genesis, couple of Amiga's and the commodore monitor. Might be a C64 in my parents as well.

 

That fat PS3 is like a collectors item!
I understand the selling. I have done so every generation since the original NES (I ended up giving away a Commodore 64 and games).

 

I have one of these in mint condition
