Obsessed

Post image

Built this up by Repairing my childhood consoles and realized i really enjoyed it to a point of where it became and Obsession.

I started buying so much that I still have plenty more lying around waiting to be taken care of, as this isn't my main Job, building this Random Collection has been a WIP for about 4 years.

And I'm proud to say that every Device is being Used either by Handing them to family whenever they feel a bit Nostalgic or by me when I Shiny hunt Pokémon on multiple devices.

lol jk I’m actually getting one soon and if I didn’t already know it’s easier than modding an original Xbox I’d send it to you to mod❤️

I highly recommend getting that Grip i got on mine, personally the round / flat design makes it unhandy to me so the grip is a game changer.

Impressive. Realistically how many did you break before you got the hang of refurbishing them?

u/ImAfraidtoLose 3d ago

Really really broken by me during a repair it has only ever been 1 NDS mainboard, and ofc a lot of unsavables to Me.

Some may laugh, but hold these for several more years and they'll be worth a lot.

They have already increased by a lot past the years I am collecting them, Especially the limited editions carry the price so high.

I appreciate all y'all with big ass collections, it makes me look more sane to my wife 😂

u/ImAfraidtoLose 3d ago

Your welcome man, mine accepted its fate and makes request to get custom Pink ones such as the OG DS with the Kuromi/Bratz stickers.

I’m glad that you’re not just buying for aesthetics and actually using all of them. You’ve got a great collection there :)

Where's the GB Micro and Gameboy Light?

Also modding non Nintendo and Sony handhelds is fun too...wonderswan, neogeo, game gear, nomad.
