Not me. No REALLY enticing games for it as of now. Besides - there's an X360 I'll be buying any day now, as well as generally being against buying launch hardware. It's kinda pointless IMO - expensive, with few games, and generally worse reliablity.

Reliability.

Anyway, generally if you're accustomed to console manufactures after the mid 90s this is true, the ones prior make reliable hardware out of the gate... IE I've never had a launch Nintendo or SEGA system ever mess up on me, I break it before the hardware inside breaks down.  And even then it's tough to do since I've only ever broken my first DS because I opened it up to clean it, it took literal beatings all day, but a nice screwdriver through one of the chips inside did it in.

Haha, I expected exactly that reply from you! Yeah, cartridge systems are damn bulletproof. I have a model 1 Genesis, and it's older than I am - it works as if it were new. Nintendo is pretty faultless with their post '96 systems (some early Gamecubes had some DRE's), but every other manufacturer has fucked up hard - PS1, Saturn, PS2, Dreamcast, and X360 all had a good chunk of hardware issues, and I'm speaking out of my exp. with them... still, for a cheapass like me, launch systems are a no-go.
