In a way, I think I understand full set collecting. The idea of being able to play any game that was released on a console on a whim is kind of neat, but the whole "games THAT I'M NEVER GOING TO PLAY" part is why I would never go for this myself. I'm not knocking what you're doing. It's just an interesting concept to me, kind of like VGA. I wouldn't want to collect games I don't want to or can't play, but I find it to be an interesting collecting goal that people go for. It is neat to see the overall picture of a complete collection spread out on a wall or shelf when a person has the space to display properly.

Nice.  Spotted you have an I-que.  Did you ever work out how to get games onto it?

To be fair I've not even tried mine.

Had an ok tax return. Gamestop's running a deal for $125 credit on a 250gb 360 towards an Xbone. I have extra 360s not in use from craigslist deals so I did the deal. Gamestop was out of MCC bundle, but the only difference is the box which I decided I don't care about. They still honored the deal with a standard green box system and a download code for MCC on the receipt. Price for the system and MCC out the door was $253 after the trade in. I got the 360 for $60 with a 320gb hard drive so after swapping my data to the bigger hard drive, it worked out.

Before picking up, I found a dude on craigslist that was selling/trading off his physical games to go all digital. We met at Gamestop and did a straight trade for my download code for his physical copy of Halo MCC, and I bought GTA 5 off him for $45.

So far I've just been installing games and updating and haven't played anything yet. These are the games I bought.



First complaint: X1 is a behemoth. There's no way this beast will fit into the setup without removing a console unless I stack the Wii U on the X1. Can this damage either console? The Wii U is resting on the unvented portion of the X1. All vents of both consoles are unblocked and open. I don't intend to run both at the same time, though there's a possibility my son may want to use the Wii U while I'm playing X1.

After playing console tetris trying to integrate this huge whale into the set up, I googled 'safe to put Wii U on Xbox One' and found this neogaf thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=859363
The consensus is quite mixed, with about half of the opinion it can damage both/either consoles and that electronics should never be stacked, and the other half saying it's fine.

 Is this ok? I don't want to break anything.

Wow nice find Wiggy! Where on earth did you find the Nintendo Power cart and what games are on it?

Thanks!

Like Shenske said, found it on ol' eBay :)

I think it has a Detby Stallion game on it. Nothin special :-\

It's really not possible without the kiosk thing. There are some sellers in china who can still flash carts, but they generally require that you buy the iQue unit from them as well (since the cart/console are mated).

If you're only running one at a time, and it's well ventilated, then it's pretty hard to think of something that could hurt it. Hell, you're a step ahead by having it out in the open. I think putting it into a cramped entertainment center as so many do would be far more detrimental to the health of the thing. At least yours can easily breath.

A few more clearance sales.  Kmart really doesn't want this stuff anymore. 

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

The only actual limited/special NGPC (Hanshin Tigers). Had to make a special display stand to go with it ;)

The Star Ocean was in a random box that my partner had at the office. He goes "you want it?"  Um, yes. Very yes. Now to make a label and cover...

Dang, did you really have to post this right after my crappy pickup post of $2 and $3 clearance games?  Just kidding.  Nice find.
