Just a quick question, as I rearranged my setup to gain some space in my room, I came to wander with the stockpiling I made (see picture), can the weight that I put on my LD players (925 and 800, just under my CDi) alter in anyway a machine's playback capabilities in the long term ? Attachment:

You need a shelf, man. Pending that, put 2/3 of those LD players in the cupboard. You can’t watch three movies at once. Also, the XBox isn’t flat on top so that MegaCD looks like it’s going to take a big fall at any second. To be safe, burn the X Box. Use the CDi for the fuel.
I think I have the same Sony BR player you do. It’s really really slow but otherwise fine, right?

I feel sick after seeing so much stuff stacked like that Just pack away any game consoles you aren't currently using.

Well I figured I would eventually need to buy a shelf or something, just wanted to know if this was dangerous in any way, so thanks Cplusplus for your answer. But why the f**k would I want to burn my xbox and my cdi, zeta I know you're crazy but come on. If this makes you laugh rein-o, you should have seen how it was before, I really don't have much spare room in the appartment I live in, so there's not really a place to "pack them away", they'll just end up to be a pita elsewhere.

I think it's just a joke about those consoles not being fun to play.

The XBox was fun, on rare occasions, mostly for the abandoned Dreamcast projects that ended up there and would have been just as fun if they had stayed Dreamcast games. It’s also the Michael Bloomberg of consoles. MS just showed up in a crowded field based on the fact they they are huge and proceeded to buy their way into the game business. They bought the afore mention Sega projects, cancelling the US version of Shenmue 2, bought Bungie, bought Rare. They could hardly have been less of a gaming company. They gave away so many consoles that I personally met two different people who won them from the same Taco Bell location. The entire project lost several billion dollars. Can a game system be less cool? Only if it’s actually shaped like a giant “X”. Lord. After another attempt they managed to see profitability with the 360, presumably now they may even be in the black on the whole project, I don’t know. It wouldn’t matter. They bought their way into a scene they felt entitled to be in and it worked. If Bloomberg runs every 4-8 years presumably his BS will eventually stick too.
The CDi isn’t even a game machine. It’s like a 486 based Windows machine with 1/100 the game selection. It sucks worse than any system ever, I’m pretty sure. At least the 3DO has Return Fire. If someone will trade you a Mega Drive or even a C64 for it I’d take that offer in a heartbeat.

The xbox was the best console of it's generation, best exclusive games, it was the most powerful, hell it could output 720p at 60 fps on some games, the ports were globally better than on the other consoles, it even has the best controller ever made (the duke). As for the cdi, I understand that most people are just ignorants about it and only know the zelda games (even though, to me, they're the best zelda games because zelda games aren't really good games to begin with), but it really is a little gem of a console I grew fond of, lots of unknown little games that are quite good, even though not easy to come by.
The third player is a CLD-315, it's the one I bought like, a year ago now I think, that had some playback issue with lines appearing mid disc. Anyway it's just a "spare parts" player now as I took it's laser assembly and put it in my 925 to replace the one I broke like an idiot. EDIT: I just understood you meant the top one, well it's a CLD-D925 that I had since forever.

Don't think it will alter playback, but unnecessary weight on top of your equipment will probably put a lot of stress on the plastic parts and the top covers. I have invested in a couple of racks for my players and other equipment. The racks are called Norstone Bergen 2. Very happy with them and they look elegant.

This is never and not a good idea, this is why it gave me a laugh. Take care of yourself and your gear, this is sometimes the only stuff that will get us through hard times. My wife spoke with a friend and the whole area has NO internet now and they only have a turntable with 4 records. This will only get you through a hardpatch for so long. No weight on your players, if you do you must list it this way when you ever decide to sell so I don't buy them. Thanks,

I have learned something new today and I appreciate learning new things all the time. Yes, I will take care of myself and my gear and I hope you and your wife will do as well. I don't think you will ever buy a player from me, Rein-o, unless you would pay for shipping to the US. I couldn't get decent players locally, so I had to buy them outside of Norway. This is pretty normal for most of us people from the far side of the world. I don't think anyone can afford buying and having a player shipped now or in the near future because of the economy.
