Skyline's Poll #2

I have never, ever, owned a new console. My dad took away my MegaDrive and SNES when I was of a relatively young age (about 7), and the reason is: There are more productive things in life than to push buttons and they are a total waste of time. While I do agree with him to some extent I still do play Sonic rarely on emulator just to keep myself from getting board

What gets a bit irritating are all these people talking about Call of Duty 5, and I can't talk to them since I've never played the game

And yes: Highly contradictive for a Sonic fan :lol:

The question is: Do you own a new Videogame Console?

None - I've only ever played PC games and I haven't even done that for ages...

None for me either... cost way too much.

I agree that they cost so much for hardly nothing - better to spend it on a holiday to see your mum who lives abroad.

Have an XBox but it's ***ked so I bought a PS3 yesterday. The Playstation is way better than the 360, although it is too expensive.

PS3 for me too

Why on earth would I, at fourteen years of age, be so totally utterly sad as to waste four years' savings on a piece of plastic that extracts (and doesn't give back) my imagination, instructs me to do this, that and the other, forces me to stay inside all day and robs me of my freedom and what little social life I have left?
I mean, I may only have a few friends (bearing in mind these are people who to me are as close as family), but I'm not a "geek" either - I mean, my IQ was recently tested at 99. That's 21 short of MENSA membership, by the way. But if I was to own a console, I would not have friends (or a life) - as the console would replace real people as my only friend, my total life. In playing consoles you are, as in many things, induced into a state of hypnosis. That's not good as, when you go to school or, even worse, the WORKPLACE......., your sole conversation will be regarding the console and nothing else. Consoles make you become an obsessive, strange individual and lower your popularity, ability and intelligence level by ten-fold - your wallet by considerably more.

I voted for "NONE". Thank God.

I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii.

I have a Wii also, but out the two I play on the PS3 a lot more...I just use the Wii for the usual pwning online for Mario Kart Wii and Brawl!

Wii. That's all.

Always wanted a Wii when I was younger, but now I'm alright with my MegaDrive emulator, since I would get bored with my Wii. :-D

I bought a Wii out of my DOND winnings!! I love it for the Wii Fit and MarioKart!!!! I also have Tomb Raider but I'm still trying to get to grips with that! :-D

None - because none of them interest me....

Personally, I'd rather use the toilet whilst having a Wii (ho ho ho...).

I was never allowed a console as a kid either Skyline, my parents didnt want us being "zombies", we never had a computer either.
