If You Could Own Only One Console, What Would It Be?

We made it. You and me. We made it to Friday. And more importantly, we made it to TELL US DAMMIT.

Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, reader person.

You probably know oodles about us - more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob - and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban ya. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion.

Question: If You Could Own Only One Console, What Would It Be?

Come on people, we all know that the best console out there is the PS3... I have a PS1 two PS2's three PSP's one DSLite (all modded) one GP2X F100 and a GP2X F200.

The best one is still the PS3, Bluray player and fantastic Console!!

Ahhh.... That is a tough question to ask of gaming addicts... I must first say that I have not had the privilege of using a modded xbox or a modded psp. And that I do not own a ps3.

OK, now that that is over I have to say either
The Game Boy Advance Sp. (For the color + other games)
OR the better choice..
The ds lite. (Game save swapping, Game boy games, Awesome homebrew, killer games, speakers built in, microphone, touch screen, dual screen, but MOST IMPORTANTLY it has really good handling that I find comfortable and makes me like it that much more.)

There you have it. The dsi will be better when someone discovers a fool proof method of hacking it. Or when more ds download content is released.

It would have been the Dreamcast for me but all 3 of my Dreamcasts have the controller shorting problem where you have to inside and short some connectors to get it to even read the controllers. Then the problem is it only works with the original/3rd party standard Dreamcast controllers and not the arcade stick, gun, fishing controller, steering wheel etc. It also will still short out when you have 4 controllers plugged in, although 3 work fine.

So then my next choice would be the Sega Saturn for which I own over 80 games including Nights into Dreams, Street Fighter vs X-Men with the 4meg ram expansion, and Panzer Dragoon Saga to name a few. I also have the VCD card to play MPEG-1 movies and the Action Replay 4 in 1 that alows you to play japanese imports. Besides who can forget 10 player Saturn Bomberman!!!!

Do PC's Count? i mean todays PC can connect 1080p HDTV (US\NTSC), watch HD Content, Play the most realistic games out there! Includes full immersion technologies (7.1 surround sound\Force Feedback\EAX)

my pc kinda sucks , im ok with the stock HDA audio, but my GeForce 8500 sucks :\

but my pc, has a Quad Core q6600 \ 4GB of Memory and 720gb of hdd

Its technically the best "console" you can buy, including Free Online Play with some games, even Xbox Live, and Xbox 360 Inputs ... iTunes is kind of a video store, and PC users dont re-pay for their old games on other consoles: just take inventory of your collection, and find them online, and your classics on PC!

Obviously I would want a console that played all games and was compatible with all homebrew available.:eek:
