I play the old SNES and NES all the time. Mostly I run games through the emulators though since it's kind of a bother to bring out all of the equipment for both. BTW:

I was into the N64 big, but didn't get into the Cube. Bought 2 PS2s at different times that I sold cause I never played them. Really got into the Xbox, and bought a 360 on release which I love. Will probably pick up a Wii as well. I'll get a PS3 but not straight away.

360 does have some good games, and some of the downloadable contect is nice aswell, like car packages for PGR3. I know this cuz my friend likes to waste money and the arcade games i can rock out to some OG Guantlet now who does like that??

New gaming consoles are actually the exact same thing we are using right now, Hard drives graphic systems and all that and the 360 is pretty unique you can personalize all the menu pages and **** its getting a bit out of control as are the prices, all in all i still think id rather blow all my money on my 7

In general americans spend A LOT of money on entertainment. Movies, Sports, Video Games, TV, ****. At least with a game console you still have something to show for it. Go to a football game and all you can say is helped some over paid ******** maintain a drug habit.... same goes for movies for that matter.

I like to think that the consoles are getting nice enough to where I don't feel like I'll ever have to upgrade, unless it breaks. Previously, it was "radical, look at those grafixxx!!" every year. Now the graphics are to the point where if it were any better, it wouldn't mean much, entertainment level matters more.
I could see consoles moving closer and closer to PCs, in this way: Imagine I keep my 360 for years, customizing it to my liking, and even possibly upgrading the processor to account for newer, more advanced games. It becomes a permanent part of my entertainment center, not a Christmas gift that gets replaced after 2 years. Of course, this will never be encouraged, because the big 3 companies need a way to make us empty our wallets for the newest jazz.
I think I'm plateaued, I can't see myself wanting any more than the 360 has to offer, unless that newfangle Wii remote just absolutely blows my mind away, which I can't see happening.
