Console, no. But somehow my parents convinced me to give away my copy of Pokémon Blue to one of my cousins. One of the dumbest things I’ve done, even if It wasn’t entirely my fault.
I know the feeling, even when I never experienced it beforehand (I wasn’t the cousin just to be clear).
Did your cousin at least took care of it?
Tbh no clue. Never saw it again, never heard about it again haha.
I ain’t getting rid of my PSX.
i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.
One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.
I still have all mine. But I never play them. I mess with emulators though.
I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.
My mom sent my Wii to family in the Dominican Republic, that was at the peak of Brawl… child me was never so upset.
I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.
I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.
I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.
I regret getting rid of my Wii, only because that’s the one I’m missing to complete my Nintendo home console collection. I had initially sold it because the Wii U played Wii games, but it would be nice to have it back for a complete set.
Not a console but I used to have a working Amiga 500 in the 90’s which I got rid of in favor of a PC. Wish I’d had held on to that one.
My modded PS1. It was the first hardware mod I ever did. It was a mess. It booted games sometimes, froze periodically. But, I would love to go back and fix the mod today and play some classics. I do have an unmodded ps1 mini with the attachment screen I have since purchased, but it just isn’t the same.
When I was young my brother wanted to trade in our crystal xbox for money towards an Elite 360.
I made a stink about it because I didn’t want to upgrade at the time, and I even ended up setting it up in the attic to try and avoid having it sold.
In the end Dad did end up trading it in… for 20p (good riddance to physical game shops).
Ended up getting my own crystal xbox as an adult, and I did end up playing Halo 3 ODST’s multilayer disc religiously. Still, for 20p Dad?!
I hear your pain. Game shops have always been rip offs with trade ins, and 20p? Can’t even get a chocolate bar with that… My biggest regret was getting rid of the Gameboy camera and printer combo. Picked it up in the early 2000s for about £3 and didn’t keep it. Even came with the paper included
Also Dreamcast but for a different reason than most. I learned it played burned games by default 10 minutes after I sold it.
Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS…
Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.
