Umbra:
Might also be worth saying that I managed to get an old CRT television from family, which now has all the pre-7th gen consoles hooked up to it. I could never get over the distorted image that some SNES games had when hooked up to an HDTV.
Megatron:
So I posted this on the craigslist thread a few hours ago, but basically this guy on craigslist was selling PRISTINE condition Xbox One and 3 different Xbox 360 consoles (an original 2005 launch core system, 2009-ish black 120gb elite model, and the 250gb slim matte finish) all in box and with all accessories.  He also included 60 Xbox 360 games and 4 Xbox One games.  There were also a bunch of unused DLC and game cards (like the Assassins' Creed bundle games), so that increased the game total even further.  I guess the guy was in his 50's and wanted to either give up gaming or move to PC - he kinda gave me both impressions.  Either way he went to Gamestop and they told him they would give him about $400 for the lot.  A little put off, he decided to sell it instead of letting GS scalp him.  I told him it was worth more, but he didn't seem to care.  Apparently I wasn't even the first to respond to this, but I am the first person who didn't try to talk him down on price, ergo it's now mine.  About 45 mins out of my way, but worth it.   :D
 
Basically all of this for $400





Arseen:
So you really have to twist the knife... :P

But now that I see the games I'm not that jeallous.
Still impressive haul though.
TDIRunner:
Very nice deal there.  8)

@megatron

Nice pickup!  The slim 360 and the xbone alone are worth the $400 price tag.  The games though, after seeing them I'm not surprised gamestop didn't offer more total...almost all of them can be had in store for a few bucks each.  Either way, you can get a decent chunk of change back if you decide to sell a couple of the systems and the duplicate games.
