What games console do you own/want?

[AntonyF]

Right now all the console creators are busy. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is out and Halo 3 is approaching, Nintendo's Wii has just made its debut and Sony is trying to get the PS3 launched to secure its hold on the console market as well as the DVD market.

Do you own any of the current generation consoles? Or do you intend to buy the PS3?

What's your favorite console of all time, or do you prefer PC gaming?

Anyone can post in this thread and vote in the poll, even if you're not registered. But registering is recommended.

Ain't got any - don't want any.

I have to agree with Intbel
I have never owned any of these. And I dont plan to buy any, Im not much for video games. I have plenty of other things to do. I did own an Atari once, .

Never owned a game console or even any PC game software.

If I'm at the computer I have Xara Xtreme Pro open. If I'm not at the computer I'm outdoors.

No games here either... I mean the kids have a few fav's, but for us it's all about creativity, and or communication...

I used to have Elite on the old BBC micro but I can't say I'm much of a gamer either.

The only game console in our house is a Nintendo 64 (bought used) for the kids. The do have their Nintendo DSs, which they enjoy more than the console.

Had the wii been out in ample supplies, I might have (very maybe) bought it for them for Xmas.

As for gaming - always enjoyed Counter Strike and other Half-Life mods (on PC), but I really haven't booted up a game in 18 months or so. In fact when doing some maintenance on my main PC yesterday, even HL2 got uninstalled.

Will probably end up buying a console for myself once the dust settels with the PS3 release - probably an XBox 360 unless game developers can squeeze remarkable things out the PS3 (not very impressed so far). Then again, if what's top-of the line today in terms of video cards is less than a console...

Maybe it's just wishful thinking to hope for more time to spend on games. It's fun but not very productive. Ahhh, that time when getting 5 headshot kills while completely blinded by a flashbang on CS 'Office' - puts you me a good mood - and in a Xmas spirit!

Clearly, you're all old . Ive got a 360 but never play on it. I've got all nintendos consoles inc handhelds, and built a multi-thousand pound superPC for PC gaming. I'll get a Wii soon.

[The Alien]

None of these. I play games on a computer (PC/laptop).
A computer is more multi-functional compared to the console. So why bother paying so much for a console, I reckon

My 12-year old son has dreams about getting a wii for Christmas but it looks like it won't happen. I waited two hours in a store lineup only to find the store only had three units to sell. No luck that day. At one point I was able to order one online from Sears Canada. Shortly thereafter they refunded my money and sent me a cryptic email to the effect that since they didn't know when they could fill my order they were cancelling it.

I just wish some store would take my order and then fill it when they are able. That way we could stop looking and just wait. It seems to me stores aren't run by very intelligent people!
