My wife doesn't mind my collecting. I nearly always pay for new items with money I make selling others, so I'm not using any of our savings. I like to scour the local Goodwill's and other thrift stores for stuff to flip (not just games) to support my addiction...err, I mean hobby.

My son is only into Wii U and Xbox 360 now, but he'll occasionally play some of my Genesis games with me like the Sonic series.

Well, my wife is also a gamer but not a collector, so I'm always telling her that I collect because I like it and because I want my kids (when we have them) to know and play the same as I did when I was a child, and she's ok with that

My wife HATES my collecting. In her mind, no one over 10 should be playing video games because it's "for kids." :-X

My son is too young to get into anything yet. It's funny though. One day he got into my controllers and started playing with them. He picked up a PS3 controller, and despite the fact that he had never even seen one before in his life, he still held it in his hands correctly as if he was ready to play a game. Later when he picked up a Wii controller, the first thing he did was hold it up to his ear because he thought it was a phone. It just goes to show how intuitive the PS3 controllers are and how ridiculously designed the Wii controllers are. :P
