      Option (I) which is B and H together.

      Yeah, that would be my answer too. Except that I'd have to try and fit a double B in somewhere, since I have two PS2s -- one native, one running Linux.

  • Dammit Em!!! :)
  • I personally haven't owned a game console since plain ole regular Nintendo way back in the eighties.
  • Hooked up and working in my basement:

    Atari 2600 (well, it'd work if it didn't keep burning out power supplies)
    NES (the original; as my daughter says, "This thing's old, it's from back in the 1900's")
    TurboGrafx-16
    and in the past month we've added a hand-me-down PSone from my nephews who bought a PS2.

    Me, I play NES games on my Axim.

      Bittttcha.

      I got;

      3 NES

      1 SNES

      1 N64

      1 GameCube.

  • H)Em just does this cause he likes responses to his polls.

    Yup yup yup. ;)
  • I've got all three, but i don't play many videogames anymore. Go me.
  • Got a 'cube, and I'm having a blast with it.

    Cash-strapped Doug is easily persuaded by low cost and brand loyalty--and no cracks about the $99 DVD player hooked up with the 'cube to the $50 TV
    • I'm a 'cuber myself.
      Just got the Zelda bonus disc for putting $15 down on the new zelda.

      And Metroid Prime is worth the $150 I spent on the box (and the reason I got the cube in the first place).
      • Odd, those are exactly the two games I started with. :)

        Picked up a few used ones at EB too, after beating Metroid Prime. Pikmin and Rogue Leader--both fun games.

      • Just got the Zelda bonus disc for putting $15 down on the new zelda.

        What is on that bonus disc? It looked like it actually came with full, playable versions of the two previous Zelda games on the N64. It seems to good to be true.

        I might pre-order if that is indeed the case.

        • What is on that bonus disc? It looked like it actually came with full, playable versions of the two previous Zelda games on the N64. It seems to good to be true.

          Not quite. It's the two full, playable versions of Ocraina of time and THE OCARINA OF TIME MASTER QUEST!!!!!

          Nothing like getting a never-released game, legally, for free. Darnit, it's worth the $15 even if you don't pick up Wind Waker!
          • Yeah, its the Ocarina of Time ported to the cube, and the master quest (which I haven't tried yet), which I've heard is the hardest thing any zelda players ever played.

            And $15 for 2 full games? Heck yeah! Don't even need to pick up Wind Walker. But if you do, its only a $35 game.

          • That's awesome. I'm pre-ordering today. :-) I never did own the Zelda games on the N64, although I rented it once. Unfortunately, I didn't get to play it much, but it was pretty cool.

  • that PC games are better than console games! *duck*

    I have a Dreamcast... does that count? I only play 2 games, and they aren't available on console so that limits my options. If there were a decent way to play a strategy game on a console I'd be more into it, but the resolutions aren't good for it and I'm not shelling out the money for an HDTV.

    • Honestly, I like both. I like PC games for strategy, or big old multiplayer games. However, I enjoy console games a lot because they are simple to setup (no installing, no crashing) and because I can play a quick game with other people in the same room as me. I enjoy multiplayer more when the people are in the same room.

        A staple for visiting with my brother is our time in front of his PS2. But I don't have any desire to play single player games. I find AI tedious and usually easily defeatable. At best, it's just boring. I don't have a lot of people over at my house, so a console setup is pretty much pointless for me. I do love me a good racing game, or THPS4...
        I enjoy multiplayer more when the people are in the same room.

        When I finally buy a house, one room will be setup purely for this purpose. Or at least work, and games. I'm thinking at least 4 decent systems setup.

        • Oh sure, if I could setup a room in our house with four computers, I'd do it. But compare the price of four decent systems with the cost of a Gamecube. :-)

          As for single-player, I do agree. The only single player games I really enjoy anymore are puzzle games like Super Monkey Ball.

            Well, it still is the price of a Mac ;) I'm thinking of spending between $600 - $800 per system (small hard drives in each, and networked hard drives) with one heftier server with a larger array. Getting the approval to spend ~$7K would take some time, but she wants one of those expensive down blankets so I think I can arrange it ;)

            • Getting the approval to spend ~$7K would take some time, but she wants one of those expensive down blankets so I think I can arrange it

              Well, good luck. :-) Even if I could get the approval for such a purchase, I don't know where I'd get the money for it.

    • that PC games are better than console games! *duck*

      In general, yes. It's a shame that the PC gaming industry is so much less profitable than the console industry. Much as I love some of my PS2 games (GT3, GTA3 and SSX Tricky), ultimately, none of them come close to a dose of Serious Sam. Consoles just can't do FPS games well, and that's not going to change. It's not a hardware limitation, just a consequence of the input method. Console controllers are great for a particular type of game, but for a FPS, yo

    I own a PS2.

    And, I think Em is a pompous ass that is too full of himself.

    In fact, if he were here, I'd kick his ass, the pansy.
  • B

    Plus, an NES, A SNES, an Intelivision, and a game gear.

  • B)PS2

    I own the following games:

    Madden 2003

    Grand Turismo 3

    NBA 2K3

    Grand Theft Auto 3

    World Rally Championship

    Final Fantasy X

    Metal Gear Solid

    ALMS Racing

    Madden 2002

    (listed in order of play time they get these days)

    • Also, I own a Dreamcast.

      My brother, a console freak, has virtually every console produced and marketed in the US, including a working Tubrografix, a working NeoGeo, etc.

  • A) Xbox! Xbox is pretty cool.. but I'm waiting for some halfway decent online games to come out. In my opinion, Ghost Recon stinks when compared to Americas Army Operations on the PC (which is also free). Rainbow Shield, the next clancy game looks a lot more promising...I'm waiting for that.

    Oh, it doesn't help that I have a 13" tv hooked up to it (in fact, the same one I used to play NES games on when I was 11 yrs old). I am going to be remeding that fairly soon though. Any good recommendations on console TV's?
    • In my opinion, Ghost Recon stinks when compared to Americas Army Operations on the PC (which is also free).

      Wow, someone else actually plays ArmyOps. :-) That game has stolen more of my life in the last couple of months than any game in a while.

    • The one you can't afford is always best.
      for Console gaming with an X-box, the hardware supports several hdtv resolutions, but it will depend on the game as well, so HDTV is an option for anyone with the cash to spare. BTW, X-box is NOT a progresive DVD player, so DVD movies won't benefit much from using a component output adapter with the X-box. Tony hawk 4 uses 720p and Dragons lair 3d does 1080i, but 480p is standard for all x-box games. So they all benefit from the clarity of a HDTV.

      • Thanks for the tips on XBOX. I had no idea it used some of the higher HDTV resolutions.. I guess that gives me a better reason to go with an HDTV for my next set.

  • I love my cube. It's so cute and tiny. And here are the only games I've got:

    • Super Mario Sunshine
    • Mario Party 4
    • Super Monkey Ball 2
    • Super Smash Bros. Melee

    I haven't been playing as much lately since I've been sucked into America's Army: Operations.

  • (f) both b and c.

    And a N64 and SNES, to boot. Technically two N64's and two SNES's, but only one of each is hooked up to the TV.

    I've yet to see any game that is a 'must have' on the XBOX.
  • love that GTA3 & GTA:VC and TEKKEN and DMC and GT3 and Super Bust-a-Move and Cookie & Cream and and and Ico, and and and and you get the picture.
  • I got a GameCube and love it, though I don't play games that often... However, after seeing the DOA Beach Volleyball game on X-Box, I am sorely tempted to buy one of those big, ugly boxes just for that. ;-)

    • DOA Bean Volleyball is available for the cube.
      • DOA Bean Volleyball is available for the cube.

        Bean Volleyball? WTF is that? ;-)

        I know there is a different Beach Volleyball game for the 'cube, but was under the impression that the DOA BV game was an X-Box exclusive - as in it has "Only for X-Box" plastered all over the box...

        Of course, that game isn't the only reason I'm considering the big ugly box. The AFL [afl.com.au] in its infinite wisdom licenced the game to a company which produced PC, PS2 and X-Box versions of AFL LIve 2003 [acclaimau.com], but not a Gamecube port. Kinda
