Is it worth keeping old consoles? I mean, up to now I have - I say old, I mean an N64, PSone and DC - but they take up so much space.

Should, or rather, can, you sell these? And if so, for how much? I generally only play one game on each console - Virtua Tennis 2 and Jet Set Radio on the Dreamcast (never got hold of Shenmue), Zelda on the N64. As for the PSone, I generally keep it so I have the option of playing FFIX or FFVII on the move :P.

So do you keep yours, or have you flogged them?

Flogged half and kept half.

They're cheap to re-purchase so sell them if you're not using them and buy threm back cheaper when you feel like replaying things.

Simple.

I keep mine as I can't see me finding two spectrums easily. I'm still getting games for my other consoles too so they do get use. Do enjoy going back to my SNES or Mega-Drive every now and then. Usually Street Fighter II, even though I have the latest collection for PS2, or Mario Kart or Mortal Kmobat. Gameboy Color is handy for tetris.

I would say NEVER get rid of Final Fantasy 7 as one day you will want to play it again and you will feel stupid for not keeping it. It happened to me, but luckily, i did manage to get one of the last ones, factory sealed.

I agree. You wouldn't want to risk never being able to play one of the all time greatest games ever again now, would you?
