Actually, it's quite a wild standard deviation.. I couldn't say an average.. O_O Mostly depends on how much I make and whatever's available.
Yep.. I've been doing that collection for about 2 years now. I was mostly "hardcore" into games and owned only SNES and N64 up until 2001, when I got the Gamecube. Smash Bros Melee got me thinking (about the whole collection thing in the background of the nintendo consoles) that I should complete my Nintendo collection. I eventually went multi-platform when I bought that Game Gear the following March after Gamecube was out (I was mainly disappointed in it's lack of games). I then bought Dreamcast and discovered Shenmue, which lead me to buy Xbox, which had MGS2, which led me to buy PS2. And Genesis and Master System came from friends.
Thanks for your replies.
Edit: Stopped off in mid-section in the first paragraph. O_O;;
