VHS is the only thing I've had fun collecting that is dirt cheap. I figured I needed something to collect that doesn't completely drain my resources. It's hard to beat paying a buck for a giant bag full of them.

There's the good and the bad of it.
The good is that I'd say you tend to find a lot of cool obscure things digging through VHS, only released on VHS. There's a bunch of of rare and obscure titles that have never seen (and possibly never will see, unfortunately) the light of day on DVD or any other format (with the small exception of maybe laserdisc).
Dicking around with tracking is something I don't miss, though. Dealing with a tape getting eaten is also something I don't miss.
Never mind having to rewind/fast-forward to get to scenes you wanna show/see. Or if you had multiple movies on a tape....
I wept tears of joy *AND* fist pumped for 3 days straight when I got my first DVD player back in 1999.

LD has some exclusive releases, especially in the anime/men-fighting-in-suits world. I have a release of Akira on LD that has completely different (and better) english voice actors than the typical DVD/BD releases. I believe the Akira Production Report only came out on LD as well, but I could be wrong. And like vinyl records it just has a cool aesthetic with the big cover art and gate folds like someone else mentioned.

I got it done for me by Leon at http://www.nesreproductions.com/
He's located in Toronto, and requires you to send the cart to him (he won't find one for you). I've dealt with him a few times before, he's awesome.

It took about 3.5 weeks all together, from the day I sent him the cart to the day I received it back in the mail. I'm sure there are other options that are States-side, but I like dealing with Leon and have been really happy with his work.

Some new games for the Colecovision Super Game Module
Everything is high quality and built to last. I'm very impressed.
These really do look like quality. And that Colecovision Super Game Module! It's just amazing to see what people can do for something they love. The module makes some games like Donkey Kong arcade perfect, right? (with the upgraded cart and module)
If I was able to get into everything I would be all over this.
I saw a local add this morning for Sengoku 3. A few hours later I had it in hand for $100 CAD. Sometimes things just happen nice and easy.

I love vinyls but the biggest problem I had was trying to find a reliable affordable ld player. I actually had a nice collection of about 75 ld's at one point when I had my laser active but when it crapped out I sold everything off. I thought the negatives outweighed the positives.
I tried to get back into it but hunting down amother ld player was such a hassle.

This plays so much better on the PSTV vs. the DS3 I was using.

One thing to watch out for is the analog sensitivity when using a DS4 isn't quite right, but you're probably not playing FPS games on the PSTV so it shouldn't matter much. Same thing happens when you hook a DS4 up to a PS3.
I got in a copy of Shantae Half Genie Hero for the PS4 today from Amazon, and a Cronusmax Pro controller converter. I'm hoping that I can get it to work with my 8bitdo SNES pad and/or my Saturn USB pad so I can use them on the PS4 and Xbone, or at the very least use the Xbone pad on PS4 if I can't.

Sort of. I have Fez which supports tough controls for map panning and navigation and that works with the touchpad. There are options for touchpad and touchscreen control toggle so as long as the game isn't blacklisted (or the system is hacked), it should support it.

Big fan of lone wolf and cub. I have the 6 disc set of that. What's the difference? English dubbed? I have shotgun assassin, but never knew they made more. An awesome gift for any new father.
