For what reason did you purchase that first console? (Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2)

[silent h3ro]

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. ;) :)

[Timz]

i got my PS2 for the sole perpose of GTAIII. First played it at a friends and was hooked. To this day all i have ever bought for my PS2 is GTAIII and VC, and SA soon

[orcutt989]

Same here.

[Guyver]

nes for mario :P

[twister]

i bought my xbox for the awsome online play on XBox live, my first game was Unreal championship which is still a sweet game. i dont really play my xbox offline because online is soooo much fun, i play games like UC, CS, R6 3, Splinter Cell PT and Mechassault

[Tifosi]

Atari for some really poor F1 game...and Lombard R.A.C Rally too (at least, I think Lombard was on Atari)

[Afronaut]

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...

[asmithz]

NES = only one i knew of at the time
Gameboy = Handheld, had to have it
SNES = Mario of course
Genesis = Sonic
N64 = Mario Again
Gameboy Color = Color handheld
PS1 = Metal Gear Solid/ N64 broke after 2months
DreamCast = Sonic Adventures
PS2 = MGS 2
GC = Got it for my younger brother (barley played it)
Xbox = Umm... no reason just needed to complet my colection

[ofbz]

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...

[Busyman]

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:

[Cheese]

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?

[Celerystalksme]

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

[ApacNTS]

got a ps2 for RE: Outbreak, got an xbox for halo, got a gamecube for RE: Zero. i'd say halo was the only one not to dissapoint :p

[Peerzy]

I brought an Xbox becuase i was going to chip it and never pay for a game. I dont care how good it is, i ain paying for it :01:

[silent h3ro]

[silent h3ro]

lol. i remember the original ps1 controlers, with just the 4 directional buttons. lol

[Adster]

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

[Duffman]

Bought an XBOX so I could put a modchip in it, play downloaded xbox games, cause I don't have shitloads of cash to drop on new games, play dvds, and music, I awnted an all around media center. I love it, just finished resoldering the buttons for its new case.
