Would you prefer having a flashcart over ever purchasing another original cartridge?

Flashcart any day! I prefer stealing stuff instead of buying it, that way I can spend my money on things that requires money to be obtained, such as whores.

I'd prefer a flashcart right now, but that's because I just started collecting games and don't have many to play.

Great forum BTW, full of good info.

I Prefer the original games though a flashcart would be nice for hacks, protos, and homebrew.

The only commercial games I used on a flashcart are ones that I owned on Virtual Console that I didn't own on console (don't sue me).

Other than that, I just use it for games that you can only get on the internet.

Flash Carts are cool, but I would never use them for anything more than awesome bootleg games.

I have a flashcart, but it didn't keep me from still buying games. But it comes handy for travel, that way I only have to pack my Nomad and one cartridge instead of many. And for tournaments it's perfect, because then you can play anything.

I think I'd only ever use it for, like everyone else has already mentioned, rare, unreleased or hacked games as well as a game I wouldn't be willing to take out of it's case were it factory sealed, or something fragile.

I'm pretty hardcore when it comes to collecting for my Genesis. I don't want every game for the system but there's a hundred plus titles I have on my "to buy" list. I insist on nothing but original mint CIB copies of Genesis games and I'm willing to pay through the nose if necessary. I am not interested in emulation or any such imitation. I only want the original games on the original hardware.

I like both. I have a CycloDS flash card for my DS, but I still buy all the games that I play.

I get the best of both worlds: the convenience of having all of my games in one simple to use, compact format, and I get to actually own my games.

I'd buy one just to play Eliminate Down and Gleylancer, but like *almost* everyone else said I would still collect carts. Movies, and music and tv shows are one thing, but I'll be damned if I don't own the original cartridge.
