I used to have backup systems, but the only instance where it truly made any sense was my 2 PS2s, where one played blue discs but not PS1 games while the other was the other way around. I think a lot of it is paranoid thinking, worrying about things that haven't happened yet. Systems are easy to replace, especially with all of the after market ones coming out all the time. Having multiples makes you feel 'in control', which certainly has a psychological component, but if it's obsessive is another story. FYI, I didn't regret selling my duplicates at all. |

I own multiples of consoles. I own multiple XBox consoles. They are just easy to find at flea markets now. I picked up a spare as a bundle deal with the 25 or so games for $30. I'd like to mod it some day perhaps. I actively buy SEGA CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast consoles when they are on the cheap. These I worry about dying. Oddly enough, the newer they are, the more worried I am. The SEGA CD is pretty rock solid. But the lasers will burn out. I've never tried replacing one. The Dreamcast... damn those GD-Rom drives. I would not mind having 5 or so of those. If I could find one brand new, I would not be opposed to paying the original MSRP for it. It would sit back as a final replacement. But even then, I don't know. You can find them really cheap right now still. 10 used ones or 1 new one... I'll take the 10 used ones in most cases. |

Still upsets me a little thinking back on that. As far as collecting multiples of a console... Modding and tinkering/repairing would be great options/skills to have. |
