Name a system you have no desire to play again

I have 0 desire to ever pick up an original GBA. I hated the screen on that thing!

Picked up an SP and never looked back.

I'm going to catch it for this one, but the PS2 is pretty high on my list of crap consoles. There are a lot of amazing games, but the hardware is garbage! I've had such terrible luck with those consoles. Sad thing is, I'm very good to my gear. I even still have a launch 360 working (one red ring fixed under warranty). It's the most used console, too.

I wish there was a better option for the PS2 like there was for the GBA.

The slim model? The later ones are fairly reliable (early slims overheat, big surprise), at least by Sony console standards. The slim also has the advantage of a flip-top lid, so you don't have to worry about the mechanical tray breaking down like with the original model (those are gonna be fun to deal with in 20 years, just like the model 1 Sega CD systems).

I've had several of each. My current silver slim seems to be holding on, sort of. It's fussy but it works.

I like the GBA SP, so I still play the games.

No, let me correct that. I LOVE the SP. it's one of my favorite consoles.

Funny enough, the same thing happened with the DS. I had an original and went back to the SP. then, I got a good deal on a Lite, and gave it another shot. Loved it!

The original Gameboy and 3DS seem to be the only ones they got right first IMHO.

I agree XL line is much more playable. Collecting wise no way, the games are much harder to find than 5200, more $, and often crappy label art. Much of the 5200 library has been converted to XL by now though. I went all in on 5200 several years ago, have it composite modded, controllers "repaired", trackball, and many games as well as the atari max flash. Don't want to swap over now.
