i dont have a 360 - nor am i likely to get one - so sadly i'll never get to play Halo 3


we have a playstation
gamecube
wii (yes - the gamecube is now redundant)
X-box
sega genesis
nintendo
some oldschool atari pong thing
psp
gameboy
gameboy colour
gameboy advance
gameboy ds
a sega 'portable' (thats fairly big)


i cannot justify getting a 360 .. or a playstation 3 for that matter.

I'd grab a playstation 2 if i saw a cheap used one

I'll get a Wii soon and probably a PS3 later on. I like hooking up the old systems once in a while, it's a lot of fun. Every now and then I'll hook up the coleco or the snes, even the saturn.

thats a nice lineup.
my friend had one of the Sega portables. they're huge, and run out of batteries in about 15 minutes, nice collectors item though.

i got something from each generation, sort of. starting from earliest to latest, i have an
Atari 2600
Sega Genesis
Playstation
Gamecube
Xbox 360.

and a PSP if you count that.
oh yeah, and a pretty nice PC

as for games ive been playing lately, im kind of burnt out on Oblivion, i got the best sword, awesome armor, and the best shield, and im really not challenged anymore. went back to Resident Evil 4 and Rainbow Six Vegas.

I have almost as many systems as you:

Nintendo Entertainment System
Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Gamecube
Gameboy Color
Sega Genesis
Dreamcast
Playstation
Playstation 2
XBOX
XBOX 360
And a pretty sweet PC.

I don't think I'll get a PS3 or Wii anytime soon. I'm too lazy for a Wii, and the Playstation 3 is going to have to come out with a few more good games, before I shell out the cash for it. AND be games that I can't get on the 360.

I think I have a...

Coleco
Super Nintendo
Gamecube
N64
Sega Saturn
Sega Genesis
Sega CD
Dreamcast
Gamecube
XBox
Xbox 360
PSOne (with and without screen)
PS2
and I think that's it... I may have a 32x somewhere though.

Portables are now only a Gameboy Advance, DS, and Neo Geo Pocket Color.

well, i dont feel so bad now ..

what a bunch of wackos !! :)

It wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have a bunch of lightguns, bongos, a drum for taiko drum master, and countless other peripheral.

the bad thing about my stuff .. is i dont even play the damn things.


re Halo 3 - someone told me that they were going to release an x-box that was a bare bones 'arcade' version meaning all it would do is play x-box games - no bells and whistles ... and it would come in around $150

anyone heard anything to this ?

The 360 "Arcade" version simply replaced the core.

"Microsoft officially announced a new version the Xbox 360 called the Xbox 360 Arcade. It's like the Core, except now it comes bundled with five arcade style games (Pac-Man, Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, and Uno), a wireless controller, has an HDMI port, and a includes a 256MB memory card for $280. (But like the Core, there's still no hard drive.)

Go through electronics boutique (EB games), they have plenty cheap "remanufactured" units, Sony has worked on them, and the one year instore warranty on those comes directly from Sony too.

I'm still on the same...got a pc that might play stuff from about a year ago just fine, a Dreamcast (still my favourite console ever), PSP, PS2, PS3.

A good selling point aside from the games factor, in terms of the PS3 anyhows, is that it's pretty much the cheapest BluRay player you can buy, from a company that has top of the range laser devices...although I'm sure with the death of HD, the 360 will shortly be selling external br player peripherals too...too bad you're not local, I could get you one for a bit under 2/3 the standard price.
