Mine was the NES which I didn't get until '97, the thing was probaly worth less than $50 at that time. 

I was 5 though, and had no idea what a console was.The NES was the perfect introductory console, it was just magical...

The first console that I got with my own money was the PS2 though, which was the best console I've owned, by far.I feel that when you only own one console you get to appreciate it way more.

Was the NES you got the top loader or was it an original model?

Magnavox Odyssey², closely followed by the Atari 2600.

Odyssey² is a pretty interesting console, I haven't seen one in person but it's definitely one I want to try.
