I was just wondering what all consoles you guys have (if any), and if anyone has an Xbox 360 Live account. Anyway, I have a modest collection of consoles. Even though I'm only a teenager I have an Atari, Coleco Vision (shudders), Nintendo, and most of the other old stuff. I also have a goal to one day own one of every console.

Mershaullk's Official List of Consoles... That He Owns:
Atari 6200
Atari 7800
Coleco Vision
NES/Famicom (Whichever you prefer to call it)
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64
Sega Genesis
Sega Saturn
Gameboy
2 Gameboy Colors
Gameboy SP
Gameboy Pocket
Sega Game Gear
2 Playstations
Sega Dreamcast
2 Playstation 2's
Nintendo Gamecube
Xbox
Xbox 360

Wow, I've officially realised how much of a gaming-freak I am.

And, if this thread seems in any way odd, I'm blaming it on my sleepiness.

I wish I had a bunch of those.

I'm going to count the kids gaming consoles as well here,

PS2
Game Cube

All my old ones broke, but I had the Atari 2600 and the 2800 as well as NES, Gameboy, SNES, and the Nintendo 64.

One day I might get the PS3, but I'm in no hurry.

I haven't even gotten to try out the Wii yet, which is odd for me because if I don't have a console I usually know someone who does. No one that I know has a Wii though. :-(

I want a wii. I've been selling my wife on it from a "it's basically a work-out machine that I will actually use" angle. We'll see how that goes. Until then I plan on expanding my girth until she gets the point. So pour me another pint, dear.

I'm surprised not to see a PSP on your list, Mershaullk!

I own none because I suck at playing console games. I cannot use the control pad T_T

I've looked into getting one, but I'm not willing to spend that much money on something that has such poor reviews. I would probably play it only every once in a while anyway. Usually, whenever I'm travelling, I'll either listen to my iPod or play my SP, which is good enough entertainment for me. :-P

I just remembered that my bf gave me a PSP. I didn't even touch the thing and then was forced to play it. I play for about 2 times and gave up. The PSP got heavy after holding it for a while and my neck hurts from looking down at it haha.

My first system was N64. Used to play multiplayer "Goldeneye" and "Super Smash Brothers" by the hour.
I still have them, someplace.

What, no Pong??!! Amateur!! Actually, that's a pretty impressive list.

Showing my age, but as a child I got every system up to the playstation, including Pong, my first system. You could play Pong, and Tennis, which was the same game, but different background. The 1st Playstation was my last system. After the computer, I never went back to consoles. Oh, and in it's time, Coleco Vision ruled.

Playstation
PS2
PSP (my favorite)
Gameboy
GB Color
GB Advance
GB SP
Nintendo 64
Nintendo DS
Nintendo DS Lite
Gamecube
Waiting on the Wii... always sold out around here.
No XBox/X360/PS3 at this time, but I'm always on the lookout for a deal.

Good thread!

I have:
PlayStation 1 (the original chunky one)
PlayStation 2 (again, originial, chunkier one)
GameBoy Color (the greenish one)
Nintendo DS (not 'lite', it's also silver)
Wii

That's about as far as it goes. I'm not a heavy videogamer; maybe I would be if I could finish them.

I have a Nintendo 64 I bought used, and exactly two games: Pokemon Stadium and Dr. Mario. The mindless repetion soothes me. Needless to say, video games are not an important part of my life.

No, I put enough quarters into that game at the arcade, so I was pretty burnt out by the time the home version came around.

I went through alot of quarters back in my youth.

I have a PS2, Wii, DS Lite and Dreamcast. I also have this Atari thingy that came out last year that was made to look like a wood-grained 2600 but it has 20+ original Atari 2600 games in its memory (no cartridges).

I dearly love my Dreamcast. I still have about 50 games for it, most picked up dirt cheap during the system's dying days at gaming stores desperate to unload inventory (before Dreamcast became the "chic" retrogaming system to have).

But most of the time, I just play my DS. No muss, no fuss, just pick up and play. No fighting over the TV to play a couple of stages in Disgaea while my wife wants to watch the Lifetime abused-woman-of-the-week movie.

I have also owned an Atari 2600, ColecoVision (Temple of Apshai ROCKED HARD!), TurboGrafix 16 (just to play Bonk's Adventure), NES, PS1, Gamecube, and Xbox.

No consoles, I'm strictly a PC gamer. However...I watched my nephews last weekend playing with their brand new Wii, and I have to admit, I'm very intrigued. I wanted to give it a try, but there was no way I was going to get them off of it for even a second.

I don't have a console and I've never had one. I've never seen the point, really. You can play games on a computer too. It just feels like a redundant device.
