Well, of course games. But like in Ds, I heard lot bad about it, and then they made Slim & Lite and I bought it..
Would do same for Xbox 360 since it has many problems.

current games / games to come and price. so i guess thats "other"

my general rule of thumb before i can buy a console is being able to list X amount of games whos' combined price is greater then that of the console price itself (i.e. at current prices, roughly 5-6 games per console before i can justify the purchase).

After the above condition is met ill buy a console either when a good deal comes out or a bundle that includes games that i would already want to get.



um..stuff

The brand name Sony Playstation

First system may have been the NES, and the first to wow me may have been the Saturn, but the first that did it all for me was the playstation. And every gen it has yet to fail me.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Shouldn't you have a choice for 'I don't buy new models' because I hate to sound like Scrooge, but I don't and I'd like to vote!



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Usually it's about the games.
But I bought three different coloured GameCubes just because a multicoloured GameCube tower looks sick.

I would only buy a redesigned console if my current console was failing or if there were new features.

I guess I kind of broke that rule when I traded in my PSP-1000 for a PSP-2000. So nevermind.

Every console must have a "must have game" for me to buy it.
