Im looking for a cheap console to get and collect for that dosent cost a arm/leg but also isint boring with the game section. I have a few consoles and handhelds from when i was a kid but i want something that i can stick with and not let collect dust?

Yeah I'm also looking for a PS2 with network extension for the drive. But I firstly need to find a CRT, I'm tired to play with shaders to get a decent experience.

My last tv with analog input died a few years ago and I recently gave up on trying to find a crt. I’m waiting for the right time to buy a retrotink.

I really like what the shaders community is doing but these setups-time and expensive retro-hardware makes my just wanna find the first crt I can in a random vintage market, more faithful and less expansive.
