Here's my list in the order that I acquired them.

1) Sega Mega Drive / Genesis II - The one with the red buttons. My dad got one of these back in the mid 90s. Unfortunately, he ended up breaking it in '98 by throwing it at a wall. He went and bought a new one for me the next day, which I don't actually remember the fate of. We ended up buying a Mega Drive I off my uncle in 2000 to replace it; even though we had a PS1 by then we still loved playing games like Streets of Rage, Sonic and Jungle Strike. I went and bought another MD II in 2006 and as far as I know it still works.

2) PS1 - I got one originally for christmas in '98. It lasted until my uncle ****ed it up by trying to chip it to play pirate copies; I had to put up with a faulty console for over a year until I got my PS2. I ended up buying a PS1 again in 2005 because I couldn't afford to replace a faulty PS2, and it was my only console for about six months.

3) Gameboy Colour - It was the limited edition with Pikachu on it, and I got it solely for Pokemon Gold. That was the only game I really played on it, and I sold it 18 months later.

4) PS2 - I got my first PS2 one xmas and it lasted for two and a half years. I ended up having to get another one for xmas in 2005 to replace it. That one was the slim version, but the laser gradually went on it. It stopped reading DVDs first, and then it stopped reading games. In 2009 I bought another one and still have it.

5) Gameboy Advance SP - I didn't get one until 2007 and the only game I really played on it was Tactics Advance. I gave Breath of Fire and Pokemon Ruby a go but lost interest, and traded it in 2009.

6) Nintendo DS - I bought it off a friend in 2009, bought one game for it - which I never bothered finishing - and traded it six months ago.

7) Xbox 360 Elite - I didn't get one of these until 2009, played four games on it, and after not touching it for the better part of a year sold it to a friend. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it, I just lost my enthusiasm for games for a long time, about two years ago.

8) Gamecube - I know this is somewhat out of order, but i got one really cheap a year ago solely for two games I had always wanted to play, but had never got around to: The Resident Evil remake, and Resident Evil Zero. I also bought the Twin Snakes, but it was faulty. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the wait.

9) PSP - I got one of these when I had a windfall of cash six months back, but didn't touch it until just before christmas. I've only played two games on it, and am currently playing a third.

10) PS3 - Regrettably, I bought a backwards compatible 40GB one off a friend two months ago. Although I've been having a really good time with it, it's already overheated twice and I can only play it sporadically - with the aid of three notebook coolers. I've learned the hard way to not buy any more pre-owned consoles, and I'm gonna treat myself to a new one for my birthday in two months.
