What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

A real video game set up. I have 17 consoles in the house and over 450 games.

I even have the old CRT TV with an AV switcher hooked up so I can switch between consoles quickly without having to mess with any wires.

17 consoles? Wow! Any rarities?

Eh not really. I have the yellow Pikachu Gameboy color. But I'm a big Halo fan (hence the username) so I've focused on collecting all the Halo special edition Xboxs. Only missing 5 and Infinite. 5 is relatively cheap I just haven't got it yet and the Infinite Series X is jacked up in price since there were so few made and it was released during the pandemic when sclapers were doing their thing.

Other than than mostly Xbox and Nintendo systems going back to SNES.

If I were you, I'd skip the 5 xbox just as an insult to that game's writing.
