| Is owning multiples of a console obsessive/hoarding? |

I think it depends on the entire situation. If you are sitting on 20+ of the same exact console and none of them either 1) are used or 2) work, then you are on the level of hoarding. I personally have more than 1 of Gamecube (blue/black/silver), Playstation (original and PSOne), Wii (Original and mini), NES (Front loader and top loader), and SNES (Original and mini). |

I have multiple Genesis consoles but that is only because I bought lots for the games. Some of them are broken and I am missing too many parts to put together a set. But just last weekend I put together a Model 1 kit and got about 15 of my duplicate carts together and gave it to a friend. |

It doesn't so much come down to *what* you do -but- *why* you're doing it! In this case, if you were buying a 21st copy as a "backup" for when your other 20 copies get scratched/no longer work = it would (IMO), signify something different that buying it in the way that I stated above 8) |

That game is just too amazing ;D |

Ha, I wish I could stumble on a $5 copy of Suikoden II. |
