DS - Nintendo makes awesome handhelds, and I needed to help Nintendo dominate Sony in this market.

PSP - I wanted to support Sony so that they'd make more handhelds. I don't think I want to support their next handheld if it's just like the PSP.

PC - Been a PC gamer for nearly a decade, but I bought my own this gen. Why? Because PC's kick ass.

Yes I know I contradicted myself.

I bought the Wii first for Zelda etc. and a couple years later I bought a 360. My main reason was that I wanted to play Halo 2 and 3 (didn't own an Xbox last gen), which were both quite disappointing.

I think I bought my DS before my Wii.

1 - PS3 (got it on June 2007), having enjoyed PS1 & PS2 it was natural for me to get a PS3 and enjoy its games, features & Blu-ray movies..

2 - PSP (got it on Dec 2007), wanted a gaming Handheld and PSP had some great titles which i wanted to play..

3 - 360 (got it on June 2008), just couldnt resist playing Geow1 & Halo3.. luckily 360 had lots more to offer and am happy i got the console..

1. I got my downstairs 360 first because it launched first back in November of 2005. 2. I purchased my upstairs 360 second. 3. Then I purchased a PS3 a week after HD-DVD called it quits. 4. I purchased a Wii last summer because I was bored and had nothing to do. 5. Upstairs 360 RROD's - purchase replacement. 6. 2nd Upstairs 360 RROD's - acquire replacement. 7. 3rd Upstairs 360 RROD's - acquire replacement. 8. 4th Upstairs 360 RROD"s - acquire replacement. (see blog) 9. 5th Upstairs 360 constantly freezes - purchase replacement. Currently on my sixth upstairs, launch downstairs. w00t.

PS3 Wii 360

PS3 because I'm really into the Playstation brand and some of it's exclusives

Wii because I "gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday" (yet I'm the only one that plays it :lol:)

I put off buying a 360 untill I was fairly sure RRoD wasn't as much of an issue anymore.
