I only have a pc, and don't own any recent games. My sister has a PS2, but I don't really play it.

I'm a lot like crono in my tastes for consoles and such. Although I was never a big Sega fan (Although I do enjoy the Saturn and Dreamcast.)

As for age, I'm 18 and my birthday is at the beginning of the year. I'm graduating from high school in a week.

Reno, I love consoles. There's something about having a specially made computer for playing video games

I don't want an Xbox because I already have a computer (at least other consoles have specialized hardware which is made for gameplaying, and not using the inefficient X86 arch). There are a couple of games that look alright, but they'll be on PC soon enough. And I have a PS2 controller hooked up, so it'll be fun then.

I just don't think the Xbox is a good investment for gamming. However, if you're like Stanford, you'll buy 1500 Xboxes to make a supercomputer because it's cheaper.

I'm a big Sega fan, actually, I love their hardware. Their games are great as well. I just see them as the only true console company, to be honest. They've managed to take a beating over the years and dip their fingers into other, new, areas without losing what makes them great.

I think it's the same reason why I love the Game Cube so much. It's made for gamers.

The reason why most people don't like Sega is because of the Genesis. And granted it was a pretty crappy console. It was mostly western hemisphere. They discontinued it in Japan rather early and came out with the MSX (which Metal Gear 2 is on by the way). And that system is bad ass. Think of a pre-generation Saturn with lower stats and a cartridge system.

I think if certain pieces of hardware became cheaper in a few years they would be great assets to the gamming industry.

Such as, think of how bad ass it would be if Flash Memory was drastically cheaper. We're talking games the physical size of GameBoy games that can hold 10 gigs and up, not to mention, a battery isn't needed to save information. Also, vital data doesn't need to be written to memory since it is already stored in memory. Video information is another question. It would allow for better game performance and seamless transitions. However, Nintendo has done a very good job with transitioning on their 1st party games, future events get taken off the DVD while you're playing, so they're ready when you need them.

I've babbled too much [addsig]

If you want to label any company "the de facto" console maker, it should be Nintendo.. they did after all invent the control pad, the control stick, vibrating pads blah blah...

Basically they are the genius and leader, followed by Sega who lost out due to bad marketing, bad pad design and media malignment. Sony are just an electronics company tbh, a populist option. Still, they do have some good points on their consoles.

Just picked me up a Gameboy SP NES edition today. They only had enough for the people that pre-ordered them. It looks so cool.

Yeah, that's because Nintendo was originally a card company from the 50s, and Sega was making games before them. I count arcade games as well. However, if you go that far back ... maybe Activision or Namco are the best

Also, marketting for Sega only sucked outside of Japan. Not to mention that was because the other branches were controlled seperatly.

Gorb, Awesome. I'd get a 'retro' one if I didn't already have an SP. [addsig]

Why are people listing how many PCs they have (half of which are probably obsolete anyway) in a console thread? I hate it when people start doing some kind of psuedo-oneupmanship, even if they don't really realise they are doing it...

I'm quite looking forward to the PSP, depending on how modable it is. Seems like it could be a really powerful portable divx player with the right software. I know there's some kind of DRM, but I can't see that lasting more than a few months before being broken (just enough time for the prices to stabalise )

The speed of the fans is determined by how fast your bus is

If the leds are on the fans then it becomes some sort of super-fast computer. [addsig]
