I was going to talk about video games, but it will sink to the bottom like all else..

The Xbox 360 is my favorite, how about you?

Just got Amped 3! 280,000 in sledding scores, WOO!

PC.

I still keep a DOS machine around. Thems were the days. *gets all misty eyed*

Oh, and as for consoles, nothing can beat the SNES.

I used to have a Sega Genesis with Sonic and some Wile E. Coyote VS. Roadrunner game starring who else? <THEM! The console is at my granpa's house now.

Oh, and as for consoles, nothing can beat the SNES.It's a tie with the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, but otherwise I agree. The 16-bit era was the golden age of gaming.

Those games I had were real challenging! I guess that's what makes a game a good game.

I'll never buy an XBox. I've seen them and they're very fine machines. I wish so much that Sony had done a better job with the PS3. They really did not need to fumble the ball like that.

I won't buy and xbox simply because it's Microsoft and I do not like the idea of them owning everything. Especially with the announcement of "Vista" and the fact that DX10 will not be available for XP. £219+ for Vista and a PER MACHINE licence, no site license in view at the moment. I say no. My fall to the dark side of computing will be complete soon and Windows will be relagated to secondary OS just to play those games that WILL NOT be coaxed into running in Linux.

I just wish some company could release an OS that, to programs being installed and run, looked just like Windows. I don't believe Microsoft is about making money any more. I believe it's all about gaining control and power now.

Oh, come on! That's simply not true! At least they have a great video-game system!

Some of you Gates-as-Borg guys are still kicking around? Wow.

No next-gen here, yet. Wii'll be first, and not just 'cause it's cheapest (or wait... is it?) - I really believe this system will prove to be nigh-on immortal. I'll need a PS3 eventually so I can play MGS4 (and I NEED to play it), but from the looks of things now, that's all I'll use it for, ever. 360's going to have to wait until I win the lottery. Kind of a shame.
