It's weird, but it seems that I'm attracted to different consoles as the months progress. 2 months ago I was almost exclusively playing on the Gamecube (Wario Ware, NFS Underground and others), but now it's the Xbox.

I think that the PS2 will come around again when I get time to complete Prince of Persia and start San Andreas properly (as opposed to just running around the place blowing things up).

But it's not just the playing games, I suddenly find myself more interested in the news for that particular console. hmm. Anyone else find this?

Yep, I played nothing but my xbox for ages apart from some multiplaying on the cube when friends were around. Then one day I just changed over and didnt touch my xbox for few months. When the change happened I started buying mags for the console of the moment, but Im back on the xbox now and have been for a long time as there just is not anything on the cube worth getting (may try metriod 2 thou).

Yes, ish.

It all hinges on big news/releases.
Start of October it was Cube-ness with Wario Ware, Donkey Konga and Pikmin 2. End of October it was my PS2, what with San Andreas. Last month it was Halo 2 to begin with, then I wandered off Halo to Paper Mario 2. And this week I've been focused on my lovely new DS, and a bit of Pro Evo 4.

Football Manager 05 has had some use also.

As for news I've mainly been following Nintendo, but I always look at the Xbox stuff too. Ahhh, winter rules for games.

Oh and in the summer this year I hardly even touched my Cube. Xbox had Black Arrow and Riddick.

I didn't play games much at all over the summer, or in spring - I never do much.

I (just about) built my PC for gaming... But then just stuck with the Xbox for a while. Then HL2 came out... Hohoho. Nothing else is getting my attention for a while :D

I assume that it only works if you have more than one console. For me its a no.

My PS2 is brokered. The laser reader is gone, I think.

Yup.

Before two weeks ago i was addicted to my PS2, what with GTA:SA and all that jazz. But since then its been XBOX all the way and Halo 2. And my newly found live.

Mine stopped reading discs, but I took it apart and cleaned the disc lens and mechanism and then it worked fine. Dust magnets they are.
