How many of you went through a period of not playing games, before your 360?

I was wondering this and I have a Question to everybody.

How many of you went through a period of not playing games for an extended period of times or had Gamer Withdraw before you bought your 360?

I am 30  and I have always loved gaming, but I went through many times over the years, where I just would not play any of my systems for 2 to 6 months and they just collected dust

Like my PS2 for example, although it had many great games for it over the years, it just never did the job for me, I think that the online being like crap and no interactivity features with the console kept me from playing it for a long period of time without ever stopping

Also not having a new system for a long time, it deflates a gamer and they become disinterested and after not having a new system for like 4 or 5 years, Gaming can easily become boring to you, I have known this to happen to many people that have not had a new system for years and I tell them, once you buy a system like a 360, you will become interested in games again and want to play nonstop again and I tell them, do not give up hope, you just need a new system with new challenges

Now with my 360, which I have had for 7 months since August of last year, it is the best thing that has ever happened to me as a gamer. Xbox live keeps games from getting boring for me and I look forward to playing games more then ever now and Xbox live with online gaming and interactivity features of the 360 have kept me gaming nonstop.

Playing Single player games or just the Campaign just does not do it for me, I think that is why I got bored with the PS2, because I need the challenge of playing real human opponents, not some A.I and the 360 allows me to play againist human opponents

No other console that I have ever owned has kept me gaming nonstop since I have had the system and that is not going to change anytime soon either

It kind of sucks that some people who have never owned a 360 or have never tried online gaming understand what the 360 and online gaming can do for them as a gamer, because I tell this to people that never have owned the original Xbox or the 360 and they just do not realize what they are missing out on

I mean if it can keep me playing games for a long period of time and not stop, then I know it can do that for other people as well

Nope.I love gaming.I couldnt imagine going more than a week without my precious videogames.

that is actually exactly what happened to mescottyboy21203

Well most of us gamers, especially older games have gone through periods of not playing for extended periods of time, it can be to various reasons though
