I'm not really a collector, in the sense of trying to collect everything for a given system. I just enjoy good games. I do buy complete in box items exclusively, though. The systems I collect for are: Atari's line of 8-bit computers, plus their 2600 and 5200; Mattel's Intellivision; and Coleco's ColecoVision. I also have a Playstation 2, a Wii U, and a 3DS, but I don't really collect for them. Outside of video gaming, I enjoy theme parks, watching movies, playing tabletop board games and RPGs, and reading science fiction and fantasy books.
Cool! Let me know how that works out. I'd considered doing the same earlier this year, but other things came up and I never got around to doing it. I'd love to hear how it comes out for you with the current software, tuners, etc.
I'll do some blog entries about it! I calculated earlier this year that I can save $800-900 a year by going over the air + streaming/bluray/digital-download vs DirecTV.
We've been doing exactly that for the last couple of years, but I haven't gotten around to building a DVR yet. Really, with Hulu Plus I haven't really felt a great need for it. But it'd be nice...
