    I haven’t yet checked to see if I won the $25 Million Oz Lotto last night… but if I did, then I’m paying off my house, buying this, then buying a new house to store all this! :)

    It would suck for him if he got that stuff out there and a storm suddently rolled in.

    I’ve got several tubs of NES/SNES/64 games amongst other systems but nothing like that. Thats quite impressive, more so for someone who lives in Australia.

      My first thought when I saw the photos “I wonder what he would have done if it started raining while all that stuff was outside”

          I always use it with a dose of irony, like I’m wearing a monocle or something.

    Arr, multiples of consoles. Hoarding, not collecting.

      Meh, often the easiest way to collect is to buy console + games bundles on eBay, and it’s a pain to resell them because no-one’s really interested in the consoles by themselves.
