    My current gaming rig and beloved black monolith. I got mine through a friend for wholesale, tax-free, so I did ok in regards to the insanely high pricing for the PS3. System: I was looking to upgrade to the PS3 as soon as I saw two things – Rock Band and Final Fantasy XIII. That…

    I have no idea what possesses me to buy these freaking things, but I bought this, I think, in the winter of ’02. I suspect there was a sale. System: Microsoft’s first real entry into the console world was pretty good. The controller pictured was not the one I had. I had the smaller, more…

    I saved for a while, adding $20 bill to my little stash each week to eventually buy a used PlayStation 2. I owned this from like 2002-03 and then again from 2006-08. System: I had one of the original PlayStation 2s, which means in 2007 it stopped working consistently due to many of its plastic…

    I don’t know what possessed me to get one, but I believe I traded in my PlayStation for this guy. System: I know I got it freshman year of college, which might explain it. I had a crazy amount of disposable income freshman year, when all my work-study cash went to dvds and nonsense instead…

    I loved the Super Nintendo, but come 10th grade, there would be no denying the events of 7-7-97. System: I remember going to Funcoland (still called Funcoland, not GameStop, at the time) to trade in my SNES and games for the original PlayStation. Final Fantasy VII was out, and it was not to be denied.…

    Ah, the SNES. Stately in thy countenance, worldly in thy repertoire. I definitely consider the SNES to be one of the finest gaming systems ever created. System: I must’ve traded in my Genesis for the Super Nintendo, because I can’t remember owning the Genesis after I got the Super Nintendo. Clearly this was the right…

    At some point in my life (around 1992 or 1993), I garnered enough cash to pick up the Sega Genesis. System: By the time I got it, it was the late model Genny, or as it’s known, the “sexy Genesis.” I still don’t know why I would go for the Genesis over the Super Nintendo,…

    Yes, I was a child in the 80s. Guess what? I had a NES. System: We lived just outside a much nicer neighborhood, where it seemed like every kid in existence had a NES. My parents, wisely, deemed that we were allowed video games, but they would never fund the purchase of a system or…

    In honor of the imminent arrival of my Nintendo DS Lite, I decided to do a series of posts on the ol’ blog where I go through my history with video game systems, from the first up to the DS itself. Without any further ado, let us begin a journey through the recent past.
