Amazing collection, but...

It seems a bit incomplete in the sense that it's lacking two of the four more modern consoles (at least, he only mentions a PlayStation 2 and a Dreamcast). There are definitely games worthy of collecting on both the XBox and the GameCube. Also, as a collector, has he ever actually played all of the games that he owns? I imagine that that would be pretty much a full time job, though if he can afford all of those gaming devices, he's probably independently wealthy.
This is one hell of a collection, but I can't help but wonder if he does anything to prevent bitrot or is preserving these games in some way. It's cool now, but in 20 years, he will be left with a lot of worthless plastic and silicon.
