What all systems do you have connected right now?
 

I have my Nintendo Wii and regular X-Box always hooked up but with my roommate moving out of the house I decided to turn it into a mini-entertainment room.

I dug out a couple old game boxes out of the cloest and have brought the NES, SNES, and N64 out of retirement. I still have the Dreamcast, Genesis, PSOne and couple other systems boxed up.

So it made me start to wonder how many other people have multiple systems connected right now.

With my family borrowing my PS2, that leaves me at five systems readily available for play right now.

I don't remember if I still have my PS1 or not. I think I got rid of it after I got my PS2. I only have a PS2 and Wii. Both are hooked up to the tv in my computer room (future baby's room). I'm also not sure if I still have an NES --I think I also got rid of that. Oh well... I can just d/l VC games to the Wii.

Not consoles, but I also have a GBA and DS.

I have a 360 and a Dreamcast hooked up.

From time to time, I bust out my NES, but it isn't hooked up at the moment.

I have 2 Wii's hooked up to my TV (one's my roomates. I told him he couldn't use mine so he went 0out and bought one). Also have an Xbox 360 hooked up (which is my roomates)

PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, and a PS3.

My X-box is always connected and I switch the other between the PS2 and GC, currently the PS2.

Xbox, PS2, 360, N64, Gamecube.

Boxed: PSone, Saturn (what the hell?), NES, SNES, Genesis

PS3 only unless you count my DS since it technically is plugged in right now as it is charging! ;)

Connected: 360, Wii, PS2, Dreamcast

Boxed: NES (toploader!), SNES (v2.0 small), Genesis, T-16 (with Japanese adapter and games), Saturn (two of them - one that I need to fix - it has a switch installed to play japanese games, and one that's the 'smaller' US System...), Atari 2600, Neo-Geo (I think I loaned this to a friend a while back though.)

Portables: Neo-Geo Pocket Color, Gameboy Advance SP.

Connected: Xbox360, Wii, Xbox (XBMC <3), PS2, Dreamcast

Portables: NDS

Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, Xbox, Wii

Also GC via the Wii

360 and XBOX. To be honest the XBOX "gave up the ghost" right after I got the 360 so it was good run.

Connected: 360, PS2, Gamecube, DS, GBA

Boxed up: Dreamcast, N64, PS1, Super Nintendo, Genesis, OG Gameboy

Connected: Atari Jaguar and 360

Boxed: Genesis, Atari 7800, Dreamcast, Xbox (x2), Gamecube

Portables: Neo-Geo Pocket Color, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, Gameboy, Atari Lynx (x4)

Wii60 - the only way to go. :)

I sell my systems to fund new systems so I don't have any lying around just on the off chance I want to play old stuff. I'd rather get as much as I can for them right before the next generation hits.

So theoretically I haven't paid out of pocket for a system since the SNES. That funded the N64 which in turn funded the Gamecube and now the Wii. I got the original Xbox for free with a MSN offer, which with all the games I sold paid for the 360. The remaining Xbox and Gamecube games I sold funded the DS Lite. And when the time comes the Wii and 360 will fund the next generation.

So in the end, I'd much rather get new stuff than have boxes of crap laying around collecting dust.

360, Wii and a Dreamcast that I never turn on.

connected: PS2 and Wii on one tv.
PS1, DC, Sega Gen/CD/32x on other tv (old tv, with just the coax input--hooking up these three and a VCR and a DVD player was a challenge)

Atari 7800 and NES boxed in the garage.

The only system I have sold (Saturn) I wish I had kept. Esp. since resale value is relatively low (that's been my experience). Every now and then I get a kick to replay some older games.

Many would argue that their older crap is better than your new games.

I'm not saying your opinion isn't valid, we should all play what we want to play, but I wouldn't call anyone's stuff crap.

Wii, PS2, Xbox, N64 all hooked up in the living room.

Gamecube was moved back to the daughter's room.

In the living room, Wii and PS2.

In my boy's room, SNES, N64, and Gamecube.

I occassionally break out my Dreamcast to emulate NES, Genesis, and Atari 5200...but for now, it's packed up.

360 and PS2.

Boxed: Atari Jaguar, SNES, Dreamcast <3.
Glad to see i'm not the only one who still owns a Jag.

But if they're not being played and haven't been touched in 5-10 years, it doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure that's what Corvin is alluding to.

I have my PS3 hooked up through HDMI in the main rack and I have a separate cabinet with the following all hooked up through a component/s-video switcher.

Nintendo Wii
Xbox
Sega Dreamcast
3DO

I also have a second cabinet with consoles and their hookups ready so I can just take them out and plug them into the TV. These aren't technically hooked up, but are ready to go in minutes.

Sega CDX
SNES
NES
Phillips CD-i

I also have a GameCube with GBA player and a PStwo hooked up in my bedroom.

Xbox
PS2
Wii
and a HTPC that has all the emulators you ever want to play :D

Is it possible to hook up a N64 and a Dreamcast to a new HDTV? I have them connected up to an old 25 inch tv right now. I will like to upgrade the tv but I didn't know if I would have to do away with the systems.

My main reason for breaking out the old systems is my girlfriend isn't a big fan of the newest games (except for some Wii stuff), she still just wants to play all the old NES and SNES games and I figured I should slow down on all the VC purchases if I have an extra bedroom to hook it all up in.

Main TV: Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, and GC
Portable: DS
Bedroom: PS1, and DC

I probably pick up a Wii in the near future. I replace the GC in the Main room and put the GC in the bedroom. I don't see a PS3 anytime soon.

Xbox,Gamecube and PSP.

Have a PS in my closet but it dont work too well.

Why wouldn't it be? The question is whether your tolerance for stretch modes will be sufficient for those old games. For example, the original Nintendo just looks like absolute poop on my 57" Sony Widescreen, so I don't hook that up. BUT The Dreamcast and PS1 and N64 were tolerable, IMO, with the DC looking the best. In fact, I'm even looking for an S-Video cable for the DC...

The other thing is this - the fun factor. My friends and I busted out a Genesis with an EA 4-way Play adapter and NHL94 a few weeks back, and it was CRAZY fun. It looked a bit odd on a 55" TV, but some beers and some 18-16 games and no one cared. Much fun was had by all.

This thread just reminded me that I wanted to setup the Jaguar again for some Tempest 2000 action.

Plugged in: 360, PS3, Wii, GC
Boxed up: Practically every system released since the NES

Wii
PS3
Xbox 360

Wii
PS2
DS

plugged in xbox 360 and xbox. on a separate tv, the wii is plugged in.

portables - DS, PSP, gp2x (for quake and doom).

I'm looking at a 32' HDTV. Would I need to buy something extra to hook those systems up to it? I don't have a clue about these types of things. Thanks for any help someone might have for me.

:lol: Whoa there Silver!

You are reading far too much into what I typed. "Crap" was just a word I chose that has nothing to do with the quality of the product. I could just have easily typed "stuff," "junk," "things," or "trappings."

Precisely. On one hand you have a box of "stuff" worth, say, $300 a few months prior to a new console's release. In the other hand you have the same box of stuff 5 years later worth maybe $75. I'm just saying I'd rather take the money now to further fund my hobby instead of constantly draining money out of my pocket than chance never touching the console(s) again.

Make no mistake, NES, SNES and N64 have some of the greatest games ever, and definitely comprised 95% of my favorite titles of the last 20 years. That doesn't mean I want to play them over and over again. That's what the virtual console is for. :) On the off chance I want to replay one, I drop $5-$10 which is much easier on the wallet than losing $200 in value each generation.

Thinking about it, this is probably close to what I made by moving on: NES($500, maybe more), SNES($400), N64($400), Gamecube($200) & Xbox($300). Close to $2000 I would have missed out on by keeping a box of that "stuff" in the garage.

:shrug: Makes smart sense to me.

That's all I meant. :)

PS3, Wii, and 360 hooked up and 2 DS lites around the apt...
