Do you own all three systems?

[SpaceTiger]

Thrift shops are awesome to find systems. Last week I found a Master System (it was a bit dirty and had stickers, but there was). I really wanted to get it, but I was looking for old N64 games and wrestling tapes (both of which I managed to find a few of).

I'll have to try thrift stores. I've been getting into collecting games for SNES and NES a bit and usually do flea markets and yard sales. $30 and you can kinda make it rain.

The last time I visited the thrift store and went to see if there were games there were a few PS1 consoles, some Genesises/Genesi, and a Game Gear. I take it that they were working, but I don't know.

I have a Fake NES up to the PS4. My original XBOX disk drive finally went kuput. I no longer have a 360 since I have mixed feeling about the direction Microsoft is taking with their gaming division.

What thrift shops are you guys going to? The major ones, like Value Village and Goodwill, or lesser known ones?

I only ever owned a PS3 last gen and PS4 this gen.

I rarely found any games in Goodwill when I went. Once I found a bunch of PS1 games that were in good condition. Thank goodness for parents who clean out the garage/childhood room without asking about if the games are worth keeping lol

Goodwill is pretty bad to go looking for games. Of course, it could be different in your area.

 

[Tomba]

I've occasionally seen gaming consoles and titles at Goodwill and those were like PS2 and stuff. Goodwill is more for clothes and children's toys.

The thrift stores I found games and consoles at was America's Thrift Stores. Flea markets work as well and if you're lucky: a yard sale.

 

[Tomba]

Hmm, a yard sale. You have to be really lucky. You can pop up at one and find absolutely nothing of worth. America's Thrift was a great place to find games.

You can kind of eyeball the goods at a yard sale and decide whether it's worth indulging or passing up. The few I've picked up games at usually had the games off to the side so you had to dig. Hint: at a flea market or yard sale don't seem too excited to find something. Play it cool. If you're excited you're going to end up starting a bit higher than you could get whatever it is for.

This is essential. I've gotten excited in finding some original VHS' and laserdiscs of movies and ended up having to pay more than I kept telling myself I would pay.

I am a definite proud owner of all 3 consoles(Wii, PS3, XB1), I thoroughly enjoy games from each of them which definitely keep me hanging on to all 3 of my consoles. I've started using the Wii a bit less, and started playing more PS3 lately because of some single player games I wanted to catch up on again and pick up.

 

[gamerteabwoi]

I have all three systems as well. I did this because each console sometimes come out with exclusives and I never want to miss any of them. I really enjoy having all three systems because each one is special in their own way. I like to play shooting and action games on my Xbox360, I like playing racing games and sports games on my PS3 and I like playing my family games on my wii because each of them to me has their own strengths.

 

[Tolkin]

I only owned the PS1 and the PS3. I never got a PS2 because during that time, I was addicted to the Wii and the Nintendo systems.

 

[cenarion]

Only the fat PS3. I'll probably end up buying a second hand Wii, however, just to play the must-play exclusives like the Marios and Zeldas.

 

[Ofnir]

Yes I do, on top of other stuff like an snes, multiple Nintendo handhelds and a ..somehow still functioning Sega CD. The xbox 360 technically isn't mine though, belongs to someone else I share my room with.

 

[yossup]

I had the wii and ps3 but not the xbox. I never liked the xbox. I just didn't think it had very good games but that's been changing more and more these days. I feel like the xbox has a ton of really amazing games now so I'll be getting the ps4 and the one from now on. I'm sorely disappointed on the wii U so I'll be skipping out on that. This is coming from someone who was a nintendo fanboy since the snes days.

 

[Strykstar]

I had a couple PS3's, a Wii, which I sold after a while and also an Xbox 360, the PS3 was by far the console where I had the most fun though.
This generation I've only bought the PS4 and I don't think I'll ever get an Xbox One or a WiiU, they just don't appeal to me at all.
