For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
It all started a Gamestop for me. I was sick of my 233mhz computer and shitty playstation with no games. I brought in my playstation, all of its games and controllers and looked at which console I wanted to buy. I had a brand new Gamecube. Playstation 2, and Xbox in front of me (I was overwhelmed :w00t: ). I came into the store wanting a Playstation 2 but I looked at my other choices. I was then ready to grab my brand new PS2 but then looked more at Xbox and was thinking more about the PS2 (after my mom started yelling at me cause I was staring at the consoles for like an hour, I looked like a dumbass :ermm: ) when a guy told me about Halo (:01: :D :01: ) and introduced me to an Xbox. I was amazed at how good Halo looked. I owe my life to that guy, btw. :whistling Anyways I got a price for my Playstation and its games and only ended up paying $80 for a used Xbox and a copy of Halo. I went home and quickly unwraped the mighty box and connected it to my shitty t.v. I played Halo all night and morning and played it for many nights and days to come. I pretty much only bought an Xbox because of Halo but I'm glad I did. ;) :)

I had PS1once, gave it away to me sisters kids.
I still think them boxes are kinda lame with graphics etc (too use to PC's)
But im guessing they're gettin' pretty good...

Re: For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
it seems im the only one who bought a console for other things rather than games...
i was gonna buy a dvd player... then i decided i wanted it with divx support... the cheapest i could find was at 200 us dollars... i don't know why, but doing a search google sent me to xbox-scene forums to the xbmc section... only then i realized i could mod an xbox, install xbmc and play any type of audio and video currently supported on the pc, and with the ability of updating codecs n' stuff.... plus i could install a bigger hd and save all my movies in there...
games were just a secondary reason...
in the next couple of weeks i might be buying a ps2 *JUST* for GTA: San Andreas...

Re: For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
I've bought them all just to play different games.
I even have an Atari Jaguar. :sick: POS :angry:
The only system I never got was an Intellivision. :dry:

Re: For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
The first, though not the last, console I ever bought was a 3D0. Another POS. It's pretty unforgiveable that I bought it because I worked in a computer shop so I should have known. I ended up swapping it with a mate for his Amiga. :huh:
I haven't bothered with the current generation of consoles. Though maybe Santa might leave me something under the tree this year?

Re: For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
My parents brought me an Atari 2600 for me for x-mas way back when they came out...Because i saw someone playing river raid and bugged my parents for ages...So yes i got the Atari 2600 for River Raid :D
The first console i brought with my own money was an x-box...and i brought it for V8 Supercars 2 (at the time it was an x-box exclusive)...halo 2 coming out in november, fable & the GTA Double Pack...and the only reason id want a PS2 is for the GTA series but it was always gonna come out on x-box anyways...so the choice was easy...also Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are coming out next year on x-box...(well Half-Life 2 isn't conformed just yet)...but yes...x-box has everything i want in a system...it even comes in handy as a coffee table :D

Re: For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)
Simple PS2 because they have better games I like
I personally hate FPS games
XBOX are full of FPS and war games.
XBOX didn't have cricket Madden Final Fantasy. and several other sporting games when it first came out.
I am a RPG die hard fan and other then fable which just came out XBOX has no other good RPG I can think of which PS2 would not have
but now I'm more of a PC gamer
