The first sentence in context...

S=simon J=jey

J: Hi, man. How's going ?
S: Fine. What the heck are you doing now?
J: Video game. It's one of my favourite.
S: Really? So do you know what the old D-battery-powered video games are?
J: Of course. I've been buying all these old D-battery-powered video games from the '80s.
S: That's cool.

Good casual conversation. The sentence may fit better with a question like, why do you have so many of these games? Do you see how such a question would invite a present perfect progressive answer more than the question using the verb "know" that you used?
