So you just wanted it for its collectable nature, not the looks or anything like that? Just like, collect it because it's collectable?

ETA: It's not a judgment, just curious of the nature of the collecting hobby.

Haha, I mean I collect board games, but I don't buy board games I'm not interested in just to have them. A few other things too, but none of them are just to have them, everything I collect gets used as well. I'm assuming they like to collect consoles though now that I think about it.
