Yep definitely time to start a gamecube collection. That's massive VFM

I've been tempted by a gamecube a lot too- I breifly owned one but found it didn't have the third party support that the PS2 has, and now matter how much I try I just can't get into mario (I haven't played any zelda games).
On another topic, my Gameboy Micro doesn't seem to be charging. I've tried only putting the power cable half in and giggling it etc, but the two buttons only light up blue for an instant and then go out

Get the backlight model (AGS-101) instead of the frontlight one.

Right, I've come to the decision that I'm going to sell the Dreamcast and PS3.
I've been offered a PS2 Slim + controller for £20. Judging from Ebay, I could probably get £20 for my fat + a controller and maybe throw in a few of my crap games I have lying around. But my question is, is the slim better than the fat in terms of reliability? Which would you rather have these days?

Lovely set up.
Can I ask, do you need any converters for UK mains on the PSOne console?

Me too and that kid but I fair bit of time in doing that. Nice find.
Fat ps2 all day, because of network adapter + hdd for games.
The PS One uses an external psu so if you get an ntsc console just buy a uk psu from eBay and it will be fine. Console goods.co.uk sometimes have them in stock. I ended up choosing a U.S. machine rather than modding a uk one because the pal machine outputs an off-spec 58hz not 60 when playing NTSC games that can cause issues with some displays and scalers.
