What was the first console you bought with your own money, and why did you choose it?

I had a similar arrangement with my best friend at the time as well! But I was to one who got the 64, since I was older and working, so I could afford a few games in carts.

Yeah me too, my best friend had a PS1 and I had an N64, so we each got to play both; I'd visit him to play Croc, Crash, and Spyro, he'd visit me to play Banjo Kazooie and Lylat Wars.

Two of my friends and me also bought a PS1 and a N64 and switched them around. Eventually both consoles stayed with me... so it was a good deal.

Also my friends insisted to mod the PS1 so it could play copied discs... we never bought a PS1 game, just rented them from the video store. But we bought N64 modules instead.
