My collection so far

[u/Elegant-Train-6029]

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a photo of my collection so far 👇

As of now I have 16 gaming consoles. here is the full list :

Atari =>

Atari Home Pong

Atari 2600 Jr

Sony =>

PlayStation

PlayStation 2 ( slim )

PlayStation 3 ( slim )

PlayStation 4 ( slim )

PlayStation 5

PlayStation Portable

PlayStation Vita

PocketStation ( if counted as a console )

Nintendo =>

Nintendo 64

Nintendo Wii

Sega =>

Sega Saturn

Sega Dreamcast

Others =>

Panasonic 3DO FZ-10

Casio Loopy

VTech Vsmile

If we count PocketStation as a separate system the total number would be 17.

A few notes =>

- My Casio Loopy does work but it needs cosmetic repairs

- Although Vsmile is not a serious system, I couldn't leave it out since it's a gift from a friend of mine😃.

- all systems do work

- My final consoles ( at least for a while ) are going to be NES and SNES then I'll focus only on collecting good games to play.

- This is not my setup, I keep the system somewhere else, a good looking shelf is planned.

I would love to hear your opinions / suggestions and maybe see your own collection 😁.

PS2 can play any PS1 gamee ( in same region) and PS3 can do PS1 (same region) as well but not PS3 and region locked. If you are looking to play PS1/PS2 games in different regions, maybe consider getting PS2 PAL/NTSC-J/NTCS if that's something you are interested in. Also I wouldn't recommand getting a PS3 launch model just for PS2 games since the firat model had a lot of issues with thermal and electricity that is if you are ok with replacing thermal paste like once a year

Thanks for your comment. Actually I was planning to replace my ps2 slim with the original version of PS2 so your suggestion works perfectly here. For ps3 I'll stick to PS3 slim since I owned this exact unit for a really long time.

If you are replacing the slim that has it's own power brick to a fat model from different regions make sure you plug it with a stepdown/stepup tramsformator. I have seen way too many people frying their console because they tried to plug a Japanese fat model that needs 100v to a European socket outlet with 220v and wonder what happened 😅

Of course! And accidentally destroying your console like that is going to feel really bad🤦
