I would consider buying them at Gamestop with warranties.

I bought ANOTHER PS3 at Gamestop when they were on sale for $99, works great.

I ordered a couple 360s from eBay. You can find them for about $80 - $100 without a HDD. You don't need the HDD unless you want to play OG Xbox games or a few games that require a HDD. The games that require an internal HDD are mostly games you can find on X1 and/or PS4.

I actually bought another Wii at a Goodwill for $20. The controls don't stay synced sometimes, but worth the price.


Were those consoles you bought refurbished?  Because those prices seem very low. 

Used and refurb. I got them all for around $200 and they work fine.

Damn great price but I want to replacing my still working last gen consoles with brand new ones as legacy devices.  As I said I want them to live forever which I'm pretty sure my old last gen consoles won't consider how over used they are.

Just don't get the Wii Mini. I don't know if you play online games or if any developer still supports Wii Online servers, but even if they did the Wii Mini doesn't get internet connection or Gamecube Backwards Compaitbility. If you want to modify a PS3 get a phat 3.55 if not go as slim as you can go and the "Super Slim" is quite good. Xbox 360, I still have my old one from release. Don't know if they made a slim model of that or not. You really can't go wrong right now.

OK I'll stay well clear of the mini.I also heard people saying stay away from the ps3 super slim.  Is this true? 

I have a super slim 500GB model and I love it. The sliding optical disc cover is a bit awkward but there's not much to hate about it. It's not easily modifialble. I think that's what people don't like about it. The older models allow you to run free PS3, PS1, PS2 and a slew of other retro consoles on it. It's a good console if you want to play by the rules and enjoy the experience.

 I heard those 99$ PS3s sucked balls. Like the blu ray players only lasted a good month or something. I swear I was gonna buy it before I ended up getting a 150$ refurbished super slim.

I dunno, mine works fine and its been months. I also have the extended warranty incase it does go bad on me (extra $20).
