Wow, I can't believe how much this topic has grown and that it's still on the front page.

The last reply was from a year ago and it was two years ago since I made this post.

Welcome back Jens... You won't know me, I didn't exist in 2004...

So anyhow, I've never owned a console, but there's been a PS1, dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 in this house. Only one of them we have ATM is the '360. On HDTV it's pretty damn cool (waay better improvement than I expected).

I think we had a megadrive at one stage too, but I'm not sure if it actually was a megadrive or what, but I know it was a sega... (also had loadsa gameboys)

I preferred the dreamcast to all of them - Toy Racer and Soul Calliber kicked ass on it, single and multi-player. I don't play games as much as I used to now...

Had an NES since I was 4, found a gameboy when I was like 10, got a GBC, that got stolen, got a PS2(release date model, had many PS games well before hand since I used to play at my friend's house and I knew that the PS2 was going to be backwards compatible), MGS3: Subsistence is kicking ass right now,  and a mini station with the screen and a battery pack(was a gift), got a GBA(damn the screen tho, seems it's is the hardest to see, SP is easy to see but causes hand cramps from being tiny as hell) not really looking for any of the new consoles, may pick up a Genesis and an SNES. For most every other kind of console I knew someone that had it and would play on theirs, made me pretty good at "hit n' run" gaming, where I can pick up a game pretty quickly and get to beating on everyone else I'm playing against.

PCs suck for gaming, ooo, wow, it has such good graphics that I need to upgrade my comp once a year. No thank you, I'll wait to see what console sucks the least games wise and company wise, this round looks like shit in all 3 directions. Unless sony has exclusive rights to the MGS and final fantasy series I may be seeing a revolution in the future. Provided that it's controller doesn't suck too badly. The dual shack 2 is still the best controller there is with the genesis 6 button the near 2nd.

Current games are Armored Core(the whole damn series) Metal Gear 3: Subsistence (think I should get the headset) and Predator: Concrete Jungle. Prolly gonna get Soul Caliber 3, just waiting for a price drop, I almost never get a game that's $35 or more, only certain titles are good enough to warrant more then that.

Anyone besides me wish arcades where still popular? I loved playing games like Time Crisis, Terminator, House Of The Dead, Soul Caliber and many more, but you hardly ever see arcades around  anymore, and when you do the game prices are jacked way the hell up.

:p Sega Dreamcast
:) Playstation 1
:( XBox ... a broken one from which I looted the cooling fans and aluminum cooling blocks and HDD
:( XBox ... this one works ... but it will soon break hopefully not before the PS3 comes out in November I hear
(I chose XBox over PS2 for stats and graphics not reliability something the XBox can never have)

At one stage I thought the PS3 wouldn't be a bad console to have but Sony are trying far too hard to get this DRM and copy-protection shit into it. They recently officially delayed the release date in Japan, for the copy-protection shit, as I understand. FUCK THAT.

Nintendo revolution, all the way.

If Nintendo Revolution comes out in the next year or two I'll get it ... but the choice for consoles is now between XBox360 and PS3 ... or Vista ... I must play games, and I would prefer a console because PCs get old too fast and I hate Vista and M$ ... it's really picking the lesser of all evils ... which I'm not sure if I'm making the right choice. But really with 2 broken XBoxes on my hands XBox360 is completely out of my consideration.

I'd like to know exactly what DRM does on the PS3 to interfere with me using it any way I want to ... I'll look around for articles but maybe you know more ?

I wanna see what shite they come up with for the DRM too, because I think it should also have a contest like the put XP on an intelimac.

They've gone backwards as far as copy protection is concerned, they had it sorted back in the 90's when all consoles used cartridges.

No.

My last console was a Genesis and I sold that many years ago. I do however do NES and Genesis emulution once in awhile for kicks. I have a geneis-style usb game controller for EMUs.

I own:
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis
Sony Playstation
Sony Playstation 2
Nintendo Gameboy Color (SUCKS BALLS)(BIG BIG BALLS)

I got the segas from second hand shops they both came with there real boxes and were only 20 dollars.

When I desided to see what I wanted new the market was a Sony Playstation 1 or a Sega Dreamcast. I wanted the dreamcast but when I got the money it wasn't on the market anymore. So I got a Playstation and I have been playstation even sinces.
