For me personally, learning the wonderful capabilities of the Dreamcast has effectively murdered my collecting bug.
Combined with running out of storage space & money issues, I'm finding it extremely convenient to retire all my cartridge systems scattered around my house & just put a Dreamcast in the room.
Just today I retired a SNES with a Super 8 hooked up to it & a Genesis out of my bedroom & put a DC I just bought in. I'm looking at another SNES, Genesis & NES toploader in my office that I'm considering selling/storing.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather play original cartridges on their respective systems, but the convenience of having my entire library on one disc is too convenient to overlook anymore.
I'm now having evil thoughts of selling my systems & cartridges just to free up space & bring in a little $. This coming from someone who has never sold a game that wasn't a duplicate.
Has this happened to anyone else?
