"Why did you buy your console?"

I personally own an N64, Saturn and Dreamcast (among other older ones) and i was thinking why did i chose them and not a PSx or PS2. Well i bought my N64 cos of the hype surrounding the mario game really, i played it in a few stores, and really didnt like the stick on the controler (it was to tall i thought) and i didnt get a good play of mario either. then my mate bought one and i played goldeneye and lylat wars, WOW i was hooked, i saved up some dosh and bought it, after playing them 2 games properly, i fell in love with the machine. i got to play mario later and loved it even more. But without my mates having one and me getting to play it in a better enviroment (no queue of screaming kids watching my every mistake and tuting) id never have seriously got one i dont think.

I got my Dreamcast cos ive always loved sega, and being able to play HOTD2 Sonic Adventure and loads of other games, i just needed to have it, also the grpahics did help me decide, but im so glad i bought both them consoles. i enjoy playing on my mates PSx's but i doubt id buy one for the games, sure there are a few good ones out there (MGS comes to mind instantly) but theres a feeling about it that i just dont really want one. Althought i would love to be able to play Tekken 3 and Time Crisis when ever i liked.

I only got my saturn a few months back because id always wanted one but my rents had stopped me from getting one. So i got one for £30 after having read sega/saturn power from issue 40 all the way to issue 16 of saturn mag (it was sega power but then become saturn power) and if i hadnt had read all their reviews when i didnt have a saturn id never have really considered buying one. maybe thats the reason i havent bought a PSX i dont know.

Well thats my story, why did you buy your console? Especially PSX owners, seeing as i aint really interested in buying one, im wondering what made you buy one?

I bought an N64 over a playstation, because none of my mates had one and I thought it would be original, plus I have most of the older Nintendo consoles so I knew I'd get my moneys worth.

Or simply to play Nintendo games?
