    Default Do you weigh more than your collection?

    I haven't checked formally, but my assumption is no. Adding together all my CDs, manuals, cases, etc probably won't beat my weight of 65kg/140lb [I doubt it]. Those things are individually very light anyway.

    It's only when you get to the loads of carts, boxes of consoles, or even a couple pinball/arcade machines, can your own weight really be bested.

    I only weigh 124 pounds. I know my collection outweighs me. I have an arcade machine , so that helps.

    I weigh roughly 210 lbs, but I have a feeling my collection outweighs me.

    I way about 150 pounds, own an arcade cabinet, and about 1100 games (99% of which are carts).
    My collection definitely outweighs me.

    Even though I weigh around 230 pounds, I'd say my collection probably outweighs me. We're talking 14 systems and somewhere around 800 games (CDs and cartridges) to speak nothing about all the controllers and peripherals I have. And you can forget about it if you're going to add my other collections including DVDs, laserdiscs and record albums...

    I weigh about 190 lbs but i'd still be willing to bet my collection is fatter than me. 22 systems, many with boxes, at least 500 games, and a ton of controllers and accessories.

    I'm 195 and I can say with absolute certainty that my collection outweighs me. I moved last year and damn those boxes were heavy. Thats not even counting the pachinko machine.

    Nope, I weigh at least 170 lb., but one cocktail arcade game alone is over a third that...plus I've got lots of other stuff. No way.

    I'm about 145 lbs, so I think my collection would definitely be heavier.

    My PS collection alone weighs more than I do. Even before I lost 45 pounds it weighed more than me.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I weigh approx. 140 lbs, so I am very certain that my collection outweighs me by a great margin. Maybe I'll weigh my collection one day?

    Are you kidding? If you take an Atari 2600 cart and turn it sideways with me standing behind it, you wouldn't be able to see my skinny ass. I only weigh 150 pounds, so, my games would crush me like a worm.

    I weigh more. But not by much. I have a girlish figure to maintain, y'know. >_>

    I've moved my collection twice before. I don't think 10-20 of me could outweigh that monstrosity.
