Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

I guess my MiSTer setup could count as a crazy expensive new retro setup
I went for it because I just want to play the games, as hardware accurately if possible, in a small footprint with HDMI scaling & wireless controllers as an option.
I’ve got a few older consoles, but frankly since I got the MiSTer it’s nice to not have to mess with getting the old hardware set up in order to just play a game, and I’ve not gotten around to doing HDMI mods on any of them yet.

Sorry, that was a bit of a misunderstanding. A MISTer makes sense to me. I was talking about newer original retro consoles. Something like a DS/3DS, PSP, Wii, Wii U, PS3. These things are now often more expensive in mediocre second-hand condition than they were new back when they were new, and that’s what I don’t really understand.
