PC preferred...
PS 1 -> PS 2 (replacing 2 with a 3 soon) is a close second

Game Boy -> Game Boy Color -> GBA -> DS lite
& Cube -> N64 to go with the wife's Pokemon games.
Not planning on a Wii, maybe if she deems it necessary for her Pokemon
Will not own an X-box

When we hooked up in 1995 I had an original Atari and an Apple IIc. She had NES & SNES

Need a multi-option poll here. I have to go with the Wii, though lately the PS2 has seen a bit more action. That will SURELY change when Mario Kart Wii hits the shelves in April. Right now my biggest debate is if I want to spring for a PS3 or bass gear.

I am thoroughly offended by the lack of a carrots option on this poll.

Needs multiple choices and carrots, honestly.

I own a Wii and play it to death, but I play 360 regularly at my friend's and plan on buying one this summer sometime.

+1 I have a Wii and 360, they both get played regularly, though the Wii is more for drunken parties and the XBox is more for down-time when I'm not practicing...

I traded the PS3 + a bunch of stuff for a bass. Best trade I've ever done, IMO, though I'm going to have to get another when Metal Gear comes out.

So, so true.

My best bowling games have been when I'm with friends and very unsober.

EB has a deal for the PS3 when MGS4 comes out

$499 with an 80 gig system, the game and a wireless controller. Pretty good if you ask me.

I have an Xbox, Xbox 360, PC, and now I bought a Gamecube.
I used to have a PS2...and an N64, and a Sega Genesis lying around somewhere.

Wii! PS3 and XBox360 are computers. No, worse. They are computers without the option of upgrading and a slimmer amount of games. The reason I play Wii is beacuse it's the only console taking gaming to a new level, as well as tons of awesome exclusive games.

Hands down have had the most fun on the XBox 360 with Gears of War, Burnout, Halo, Bioshock... etc.

The Wii is fun for about 2 weeks, but about the 100th time I heard- "Hey! Let's play some Wii bowling!" I was like "Ugh..."

Sold that guy for $450
