Just a quick update to say I have gotten my hands on a UK Pal NES and Super Mario Bros. 3.
I have also got my mits on a cheap Megadrive and MegaCD combination.
And finally the 3rd acquisition is a Zelda Branded Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP with Zelda The Minish Cap cartridge.
To be honest the NES is a vanity thing as the RetroPie emulates this beautifully, and the MegaCD is more of a trophy piece as I just dont see myself playing or collecting for it.
I will be giving the Gameboy Advance a lot of use as the battery life is far better than my 3DS.

Reorganising my Consoles
As previously mentioned, I am slimming down my console collection, but its not going to happen as quickly as I initially thought. Most of what I sell is sold on eBay, and I have a ton of material (mostly old CDs and Role-playing books) that need to be sold first, so I will be hanging onto my consoles for a little while longer.
Still the only TV I have left to play on is the old B&O in the loft. The other current gen consoles have been distributed or will be distributed around the house in various forms, mostly serving as a Youtube portal or Netflix device.
Hand Helds - I am selling the PS Vita as it doesnt really earn its keep, and I expect to get back what I paid for it. I will be keeping the Nintendo 3DS for now as it has an R4 card and access to unlimited games, all it needs is a new battery.
Retro Consoles - The Megadrive and Gamecube are going to be the first 2 consoles to go as I dont feel any love for the Megadrive, and what games I do want to play, I can managed perfectly well on the Raspberry Pi. The Gamecube was more of a novelty as my Nintendo Wii plays all the Gamecube games without a problem.
The next batch would be SNES because of a lack of access to games, and both the Dreamcast and Saturn for the same reasons. For now I will be holding onto the Nintendo 64 and Playstation as both of these are earning their keep as emulation isnt great yet for either machine.
Modern Consoles - here comes the tough choices. The Playstation 3 is in the lounge, and the Playstation 4 is in the master bedroom, which leaves me with the Wii U, 2 Nintendo Wiis and the Xbox One.
I have configured one Wii to run Wii ISOs and the other to run Gamecube ISOs meaning I can sell off any unwanted Gamecube games I have on ISO. The Wii U will most likely join the Playstation 3 or 4 and the Xbox One the same.
The final console choice is going to be where I put my Xbox 360, as I have too many Guitar Hero/Rock Band stuff to just sell off.
I will keep what I can in the loft and use the CRT TV, and maybe sometime down the road buy another LCD TV.

Slimming down the Collection
I have decided to slim down my console collection as it is dominating too much of my space in the loft and is way too distracting to boot.
I have relocated all the big-boy consoles to other locations in the house as they service as Youtube and Netflix devices, and the rest will earn their keep or be sold off.
First up for sale will be my Megadrive. I did own this new, and recently rebought it, but sadly I discovered the unit is Mono only, and only the Megadrive 2 came with stereo sound. I recently bought a Megadrive 2 and felt no compulsion to own it.
