Yeah I just recently rubber banded all my controllers, which brings me to the realization that I still need more storage space. My cousin might be getting rid of a huge entertainment center, but we literally have to cut it in half to fit it upstairs.

Play N Trade is definitely awesome. No need to worry about consoles going out of date, I can actually pick up a frickin' NES there! Just need to get more cabinets.:P

 My local guy has ALL SYSTEMS! but charged like 60-70 bucks for a working NES

 He also wants 70 bucks for Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger (No Manual or Box)

 (((I just called the only Play N Trade in my area. They  have a Dreamcast for only 30 bucks!)))
 NO TG16 AVAILABLE (BAH!)

The Lady went on and on about Nes...Snes...n64...sega...I kinda wanted to yell into the phone that I only asked about TG16 and Dreamcast...


 Now I gotta Wait till Friday....Rent left my Wallet Void of all $$

Yeah, found both the NES/SNES for about 60 each there. Crap, now my summer job funds are between the 360 and a bunch of old systems (and drumming, and gas....)

60 for an NES....sheesh... I hope they replace the 72 pin connector for that price.

 If you really need new ps2 cases... you can get them on eBay. (little steep tho) about 10 bucks for 4 cases

 You could go Yard-Saling for older games/systems. My Father In-Law gets great old games and systems.
 (I have 2 NES because of him)

 If you have any Flea Markets in the area that might be a good place to check out for older junk too.

I'd consider a NES clone, depending on how much you care about the incompatible games.

Yeah, play and trade had a bunch of 2-slot consoles that played both NES/SNES games (for about the same price as only one of the two systems), which I might consider until I can actually afford the original systems. My friend's brother has a spare SNES, and I'm hoping to buy it off of him for a cheaper price, seeing as it works.

Yeah, I remember finding the PS2 cases on eBay, and 4 for 10 bucks is definitely not worth it. I can settle for DVD cases, but if I can find ps2 cases in the same price range, I'll go for it.
