What Game system do you have/Want?
 
I got my 360 today, won't be able to open it until Christmas though.

So how about everyone else?

some guy you dont know 12-01-2007 01:50 PM

ive been wondering about this for a while. i'd prefer a ps3, but only if it has backwards compatability. otherwise its the wii.

Shelltoon 12-01-2007 02:18 PM

I currently own:
Atari 2600
Sega Dreamcast
Microsoft Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo DS Lite

I would like:
Magnavox Odyssey
Sony Playstation 3 (As long as it was backwards compatible)

BabyCharmander 12-01-2007 02:47 PM

I have, uh... Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Nintendo DS, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, and Playstation 2. %D;

I have no plans to get an Xbox 360 or a PS3. (Although there are like... three games I'd like for the Xbox 360. >>)

Subzeroace 12-01-2007 04:20 PM

I'm still on PS2 and PSP/DS D=

I want a 360 or a PS3, but I won't be getting one anytime soon... Their both still in the "too much for a X-Mas present" category.

I'm not interested in a Wii, the only game I'd end up buying would be SSB: Brawl. I had a NGC back in the day and I only had two games for it (Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and SSB: Melee) and when I sold it back to EB Games I got more credit for SA2:B then the console it's self ._.

I'm not really much of a Nintendo fan other then Pokemon >>

So I'm gonna say a 360 would be my choice console atm, I really want to try out Bioshock! Plus LOST, Heroes and Brütal Legend when they come out, but their on PS3 as well XD

Off-topic: Do not buy the PC version of Bioshock; it contains SecuROM. :frankiemad:

So Capcom's on that train too, eh? Thanks for the heads up, Cass.

Anyway, for the newest generation of consoles, I'm a Wii fan all the way. I got an NES on the first Christmas of it's release and have been a loyal Nintendo fan all my life. I have gotten some other consoles outside of Nintendo, though. The PlayStation 1 and Sega Genesis were great systems. But my #1 console of all time will always be the SNES.
In general I'm amazed at how far video games have come over the years. I can't remember the last time that any generation of consoles have received so much media attention. While it is nice to be able to talk about games without being called a nerd or geek, the mainstream status that video games have gotten in the entertainment genre has its downsides.

Sparky 12-01-2007 06:29 PM

I'm not interested in any of the new ones (the only newer system I wanted was the DS and I got that already). I still want a Gamecube though. And I'd like to pick up another Atari 2600 sometime.

BabyCharmander 12-01-2007 06:45 PM

If you wanna' play GameCube then you might as well get a Wii, since it can play GameCube games. (Unless you're sure you don't want any Wii games and just want to pick up an old GameCube for cheap, which I could understand.) I haven't tried it myself, though, since I haven't been playing many of my GameCube games lately. (...And actually, I haven't been playing my Wii games much, either, but I have been having fun with the different Wii channels. %D)

Little Baby IceCream 12-01-2007 06:46 PM

I so want a Wii for Christmas! It is all I have been thinking about over the course of a few weeks or so. I really hope I get it!

Little Baby IceCream ;)

Oh. Actually the only reason I wanted the GC was because I heard you could play your GBA hooked up to it so the game was on the TV...is that even true? And if so, will the Wii do that too?

Not sure about the Wii, but I'm going to guess no. But for the gamecube, yea you can totally hook up your GBA games to play on the TV.

My list is short...

Gamecube
Wii
DS phat
Playstation 2
xBox 360
GBA
GBA SP
Nintendo 64

Mayor Adam West 12-01-2007 10:49 PM

I have a 360 and a PS2 and so far, don't have plans for anything else at the moment.

Pawbah 12-02-2007 02:42 AM

I have a Wii. I guess a playstation 3 would be cool. I don't really need it though. I wouldn't refuse one if one was given to me though.

Well, there's a special thing that you buy that hooks to the bottom of the GameCube that you can put gameboy games in so you can play them on the TV, but it doesn't come with the GameCube, IIRC. I had to buy it separate, but then again, I got my GameCube when the thing first came out...

Bloonan 12-02-2007 05:29 AM

Wii would like to play. XD

I've got:
  • Nintendo 64
  • SNES (missing a wire, cannot play)
  • GBA SP
  • Nintendo DS Lite
  • 2 Gamecubes (1 broken, 1 fixed)
  • Wii
  • PS1 that doesn't work (1 of both types that don't work)
  • PS2
  • PSP
  • Xbox
  • Want 360, but only for like, 4 or 5 games

Invader Bloo 12-02-2007 11:13 AM

I have a PS2, GBA & PS1. On & after Christmas I'll rarely the PS2 except to play SW:BFII. I haven't used the PS1 & GBA in forever. I can't wait until I get my 360 & play Halo 3!

BabyCharmander 12-02-2007 11:39 AM

Why don't you sell the PS1? PS2s are backwards compatible, last I checked. Unless you're keeping it because you can't bear to part with it? XD That's how I am with my old Gameboys. :P

Subzeroace 12-02-2007 02:05 PM

I forgot to mention all the consoles I had, I still have a Sega Genesis (my first one *nuzzle*), Sega GameGear, Playstation (the original model), Playstation 2(original + HDD and Network Adapter), PSP (original) and DS (original).

I've had a N64 ( NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOUR! it was one of those clear crystal blue ones) a black Gamecube, an original Gameboy, a Gameboy colour and a Gameboy Advanced SP.

My fav of them is the PS2, I would have said PSX but the PS2 can play all it's games anyway XD

Sadly I sold my copy of FFXII, they go for alot now ._.

some guy you dont know 12-02-2007 02:36 PM

my consoles.. we talking about what consoles we have now?

eh, i have a ps2 (the skinny one,) ds (same as the ps2) and a gameboy advance SP. used to have a gameboy (i think it was purple) and a genesis. also im pretty sure i got over 95% of my games came from a buy-sell-trade place, or christmas.

taranchula 12-02-2007 09:16 PM

PS2
Nintendo DS

Pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to current/last gen gaming systems IMHO.

GrimTheLost 12-03-2007 09:46 PM

Own:
I have my trusty PS3 named Mr. Fabulous. I won him from MTV's Spider-Man 3 contest.
I had a PS2, but I gave it to my GF.
My PC is used for GTA3.
Lastly, my PSP.
You can call me a Sony fanboy of sorts.

Wants:
A Wii, based soley on Mario Galaxies.
A DS for a lot of reasons.
360, because Halo 3 looks like fun.

Now that's something! Congratulations.:D

Ricky Fieldmouse 12-05-2007 12:41 PM

I own:

SEGA GameGear
Nintendo 64 (Charcoal)
Game Boy Advance [Original Model(Glacier)]
Gamecube (Jet Black)
A broken Onyx DS lite that can only play GBA games and a very limited version of SM64DS
Wii

And I HAD a DS Phat (Titanium), but lost it.

I don't intend on getting the other consoles, and I never will. I plan on getting a DS lite bundle with Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and a White DS lite with a gold Triforce symbol on it. =D

I played Drake's Fortune demo and all I can say is that I need some serious cash to get it. Totally worth it.

CrazyPhil 01-31-2008 05:50 PM

Right now I have:

Xbox 360
Wii
PS2 Slim
Xbox
Nintendo 64
Gameboy Advance SP

Yeah, I play games alot, but I'm not really interested in getting a PS3 right now, not until the price gets dropped.

frankie_fan 01-31-2008 07:28 PM

I have a PC (if it counts! :bloogrin:), a Super Nintendo and a Nintendo 64. I used to have a Sega Master System II, but I saw it at a gaming store, so hopefully I'll be able to own it.

My brother has an Xbox 360, but I want a Wii. Why? Super Smash Bros Brawl! Nuff said! 8D
