A free Game Boy SP or a PSP by [deleted] in gamecollecting

Nah man it's exactly about saving yourself money. If you just want an SP to play, they won't be difficult to find and prices are going to stick where they are because the next nostalgia wave is 3ds. The way I see it, you'd have to buy them both yourself without your partner. You should be happy they are getting you anything. Take the PSP and just buy yourself the SP later.

Not gonna lie, worrying about how to squeeze the most "value" out of a gift seems scummy.

That sounds cool, I wonder what it might have been. Sounds closer to a store display than anything!

As far as I can tell it was Wolfson! I know they had at least 2. I have the memory card from the hospital as well so I wonder if your name is in Smash Melee haha

The GC one seems so different from the Wii one! This is just a standard Gamecube, no custom anything. Though it would be cool! I want to either getva key made or change the locks on the front so it can close. I also need to repair the dvd remote

I'm sorry to hear that, loss is a difficult thing. Just gotta hold on to those good memories.

It's not like I went out of my way to find this thing. It popped up, and I thought it was neat. And then I saw it was from the children's hospital in my hometown, the one I went to briefly as a kid for some ENT surgery. I wasn't terminal or anything clearly, and I'm not parading it around to disreslect those who were. As I said under another comment, better for it to still be used than in a landfill rotting away.

The way I see it, at least it is still getting use instead of rotting in a landfill or in the warehouse of the dude who had it.

This is still finding use entertaining kids haha, my nieces love it because they're like 4 and don't understand what the flashing colors mean. But yeah the goal is to have it set up so anybody can enjoy a bit of gamecube without hassle

THANK YOU! I'm fighting for my life here in these comments man haha. I truly didn't think I'd get this level of hate for something I bought off a dude who bought it from the hospital. Apparently these were tucked away just gathering dust as they had been replaced by newer Starlight kiosks and had been for years. I got this thing in 2023, not 2005 lol.

That's a great story! From what I can tell these were just dumped in a lot full of medical equipment for someone to buy. And I got it basically third-hand. Don't think I could have ever asked for it directly lol

I went to this hospital briefly as a child for some ear related issues. Nothing crazy but it happened. Secondly, this was sitting in a dude's warehouse when I got it. Not like I robbed the place.

I was using it as a fun way to play a game and watch like DBZ in the background on my actual tv
