Seems like this should really just become The Console Museum. It can't be easy to store and organize. How much of it still works?

In a fair world, Microsoft would finance and support it with a tiny slice of their Activision budget. For the benefit of humanity.

One can dream.

Where was the last time you visited a museum, any museum? Besides 99% of that collection (any collection really) is mass manufactured tat you can get for $xx-xxx on craigslist/swap meet/ebay. Just because someone spend 10 year collecting toothbrushes doesnt mean they are worth $1m and pilgrimages from all over the world congregate to see those beauties in action.

Most of hoarders never play with their toys, the mere act of purchasing is all they crave. All the things they couldnt afford, now in some basement under a mountain of other highly desirable garbage.
