I thought this was going to be a thread about the psychology behind brand loyalty and fanboyism...

"I'd dust it everyday, keep a blanket over it to prevent dust from landing on it, panic if someone touched, let alone move it. I’m always worried when I turn it on, it’ll stop working, and we won’t be able to fix it."

No I've never really been significantly attached to the unique console I owned, I'd just get another one if it broke. My nostalgia comes from the experiences not the actual metal and parts.

This is exactly the same for me, with the exception of my late father's PSP.  My father and I shared a love for gaming. In fact, he is certainly mostly responsible for me getting into the hobby. Gis PSP was his primary gaming device at the time of his death. So I do have some emotional attachment to that particular unit.
