A bulk lot of 5, and 2 individual, faulty ones on ebay which I fixed up, now experiment with. Currently designing a GPS receiver for the slot2 port. 6/7 were battery/charger fuses having blown, the seventh was water damage to the slot1. A couple screens were cracked, but cheap to replace.

My console history is pretty short. My first console was Game Boy Pocket and then I didn't have anything else (well, except for the PC of course) until DS was released - and so I've became a console gamer. I bought Wii, but it just keeps collecting dusts. Two months ago, I got myself a 360 and it's one of the best purchases (regarding electronics) in my life, no doubt about it.
On the other hand, I also bought a PSP in March, but after playing both GTA games, I got sick of it and sold it. I could actually say the same thing for Wii, but I still have hopes for it.
P.S.: Oh, and last Saturday, I imported a Crimson DS Lite from the States. Got it for 100 € (DS Lite costs 150 € in Europe), it's gorgeous and doesn't collect fingerprints. It's a replacement for my old, broken white DS Lite. And now the store I ordered CycloDS from ran out of stock. Grrr.

+ my Commodore 64, which is--of course--still working! (if this can be called a console)
Personally I own 4: a GBA, DS Lite, PS2 and a Gameboy Micro.
When I was younger we had a console between the whole family, so that was an Atari ST which broke and got replaced with a PS1 (which I'll probably inherit if my Dad has a clearout). My Mum let us use her handhelds, but those aren't mine so no point including them here (although I did buy our copy of Sonic 2 with my own pocket money
)
To the guy who asked about owning multiple systems: I've never really understood that either, but more from a financial point of view and finding the time to play them all. It makes sense that people may want to play titles that are exclusives to systems, but buying a whole system for one title is just silly. I can understand it with adults if they have a decent paying job, have the time to get through the games and aren't supporting kids, or retro consoles which come rather cheap these days.
But when a kid (read: minor) has a list of consoles as long as your arm (including almost every current-gen console) that's when you've got to start raising eyebrows.

Dreamcast (still a great console!)

Atari 2600 (collecting dust)
N64 x2 (one in an original heavy metal shop demo stand - looks cool in my rumpus room)
2 x arcade MAME cabinets... if they count in this thread?
Wouldn't mind a Xbox360 but might have to wait a year or so or my wife will kill me!
And I also want to get a pinball machine somewhere down the track.
