Buying Games for Systems You Don't Have (Yet)
Superchop:
Bought an original xbox game (thinking I could play it on my 360) but then found out it was one of the few xbox games incompatible with the 360 :\
Not wanting to have a game I couldn't play I started looking at xbox's....not long after I found a CL ad that had one for cheap lol
But I would buy games for systems I don't have if I know I wanted to get the system...I'd hate having a game with no way to play it lol

I've been buying Sega CD games even though I don't own the system. I've been waiting to come across one at a good price.

I bought everything for my bare model 1 sega cd that was supposed to work but didn't, so i returned it to the buyer. I still have all that stuff (joining plate with screw, mixing cable, Retro game cave 3in1 power adapter & I even own a Mega Everdrive that also acts as a Backup Ram cart) but no sega cd :(
Eventually I'll get one though.

I dont have a TG16 or Gamegear, but own Kieth Courage, Shining Force: tSoH and Defenders of Oasis.
I primarily collect RPGs. If I see them cheap enough I grab em.
