Anyone here NOT ever own a game console?

[Aceshigh]

Atari, NES, SNES, and Xbox.

But I actually used my old Commodore 64 more than all those put together. That was a great system for games.

I'm definitely not going to purchase XCrap or PS 2.

Hello astroz, welcome to the boards.

And why get an X-Box when you have a good PC? Every X-Box game gets ported to the pc one way or another anyhow.

Personally....never...

Never had a Nintendo til after I left for College (1995 HS Grad) my parents got one from a family friend who gave it to us...

Growing up, when I was 13 my borhter got a Gameboy...

I was that kid spending hours with other boys he didn;t like, just for the chance to play Nintendo.

I see no need to own one these days...seeing that computers are so much better than any console I've ever seen...I assume the future of consoles will never catch up or be as cost effetive as owning and upgrading a computer...

Upgrading a PC is "cost effective???" You need to have near the fastest cpu, ram, board, and video card to get a better visual experience than an Xbox... Presuming you don't have a HDTV, in which case nothing beats playing games on your couch in front of a HDTV.

And not even the highest end PC sound card and speakers can match a decent 5.1 Dolby Digital setup. The Xbox completely owns the PC in the audio dept.

I have Ghost Recon for both my PC (which is no slouch) and my Xbox. But I much prefer gaming from my easy chair, in front of my 32" TV with 5.1 DD surround sound, than sitting in a desk chair (inches away from my monitor), hunched over my kb and mouse.

And btw... There are a ton of games that I can play on the consoles that you cannot play on the PC. Sports games, platformers, fighting games, etc. just aren't supported on the PC.

Like I said in another thread... You keep your closed mind, and I'll keep playing great titles while you limit your possibilities.
