    Was wondering what are the consoles they you really wanted to get, but didn't have the cash to get it etc etc?

    I ask because I could of gotten a N64DD, but I just dont have the money to get it :(.

    Epoch Game Pocket Computer - New in box. Miss out on it as the bloody store had a mint in box Wondermega for less then Y15000 and that's all I had left. The thing was gone the next day.

    I've wanted a 3do since the day I first saw one, shortly after its release... It's been a long while...

    I'm sure you will, I have three of them. Two for collection (Victor and Sega models) and one for playing on, best designed console ever in my book. :nod:

    It's funny how many people have said (and will say 3DO), once you've played one you'll wonder what the fuss was about.

    Ahhhh, hahaha, this will be easy for me.

    Virtual Boy

    Always wanted to try it... ever since I first heard of it around 8 years ago...

    Just last summer I saw my oppurtunity to pick one up in this lil' briefcase type thing for $30. Didnt have the money, so returned the next day with cash in hand only to find that it was sold.... :crying:

    -Atari Jaguar CD (basically I can't be bothered too much to buy it expensive as this console sucks big time and I just want to have it for my collection)
    -Pioneer Laseractive + nec/sega module.. (way too expensive, especially including shipping)
    -Panasonic M2 (yeah well.. i would love to own one but what would be the point? :p I like to play with the stuff I buy.. or be able to do something with it. this thing would just be sitting there eating dust while it costs me a arm and a leg to own it)

    Unlike most consoles, this is the only one I can get rather cheap here in the Netherlands, as the console is Dutch and people here just dump it in local newspapers as if it were dogshit, even free pickups sometimes lol ;-)
    Hope you didnt pay too much for yours otherwise I could of maybe helped out.
