Okay, so about a year ago I rediscovered my love for Nintendo I had when I was younger. I've always had systems (Atari 2600, NES, SEGA Genisis, N64 and Dreamcast) but have always viewed my fondest gaming years with the NES. Anyway, after being out of gaming for a long time I bought an NES and have been having alot of fun rediscovering old games and what not. My question is about the NES top loader. I never had one of these as a kid, but wanted to know if this system is one I need to look into purchasing. Is it more durable than my toaster design? Is this something that is more of a collectors thing, or is it a system that most die hard NES fans own? My system now is working fine, but again I don't know about the longevitey as compared to the top loader. Again, I'm partial to the toaster because that's what I grew up with, however I might look into making a switch if it's worth it in the long run. Any input is appreciated.
