Title: Anyone here getting all the next-gen console?
Post by: rastalant on June 29, 2001, 06:19:52 PM
Me personally I"m happy with ps2, dc, but I may get an xbox because there some really good games coming out on there.  But does anyone here plan on getting ps2, dc, gamcube, and xbox.  Usually I try to get as many systems as possible but all that is going to be alot of money.

I know I love playing games.  This generation of games are going to be expensive since there so many systems coming out.

I\'d like to.. but realistically I don\'t think I can afford to support them all.. let alone have time to really play them and get my money\'s worth. Remember, I don\'t just play new games.. I play 10 to 20 year old games on a regular basis.

So for right now, I\'m hedging my bets on the PS2 and DC with MAYBE the possibility of getting and Xbox or GameCube sometime much later down the line.

GameCube for me.

Why get an XBOX when you have a PS2, they\'re almost the same gamewise(not including graphics).

In that order? Well, HO3J, it looks like you are a person that hates video games. Aren\'t you playing a system right now?

For me, I\'ve got Dreamcast, Ps2, and I\'ve got Gamecube and Xbox preordered (although I\'m not sure about Xbox, because it was ruled that MS broke the law)

Y\'all have a lot of money!  I won\'t be able to afford any new systems (already have my PS2) for a long while!

Yep, I hate video games.  Ya\' caught me.

What are you talking about?  Right now I am primarely playing my PC and tinking with DC.  So I, video game hater, will have a PC, a DC, an Xbox, a GCN and a PS2. ;)  Don\'t be so hurt because I am buying a PS2 last.  If it makes you feel better though, I was planning on buying one very soon (with GT3) but we are in the process of moving and changing jobs right now so the financail side of it made me nervous.

I have a PS2 and I\'m happy with it.  I am getting a gamecube so that I can get such games as Zelda, RE0, another Mario game, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. 2, etc. :)

Well, thankfully, the GCN will only be 199 when it launches and I\'ll be sure to drop by my retailer and pick it up with two games a memory card and one extra controller.  That won\'t be nearly as much as I spent on the PS2 launch.

As for X-Box, I really want a few of those titles, but none of the ones I really want will be released at launch.  I\'ll wait a year for its price to drop before I touch it and then I\'ll pick up MGSX with a new system when it releases.  All I need to do is make room under my TV.  ;)

I think pretty much everyone would get all of the consoles if they had the money and time.  If I have the money and time, then I definately will get  a PS2, GC, and XBox.

pretty much why i will not get a Xbox at launch either

also i want to wait for GC and see what it all has to dish out - i think i will have a consoles except DC - just don\'t want to have a DC becuase i have never wanted one - nothing against it just doesn\'t appeal to me for some reason

My original plans was to buy both consoles on their respective launch dates . But now, I\'ve changed my mind and I\'ll only be picking up the GC on its launch. Then, I\'ll wait until Jet Set Radio Future comes out and buy my Xbox.

Depends on my financial situation after I get out from the army. I\'m rather interested in both the GameLunchBox and X-HugePieceofMachinery and will be getting them when I have the money. And this could be a while. My first priority is to find a Sega Saturn and a Master System (II) now. I\'m also after a NES... these old consoles interest me much more right now for some reason...

I really have to build a specially designed shelf for all these consoles... runnin\' out of space... and If I get an XBox... sheesh, I needs a bigger room!

Of course I will be getting all the consoles. Have you seen my list at http://www.ugtz.com (username - NeoSega)? That is about half my stuff and all of my doubles. I will getting all of the next consoles and I already own DC and PS2.

My order will be DC, PS2, X-Box, then GC probably around 3 to 4 months later as I wait for some good games to come, like what I did with PS2. I will be getting X-Box at launch because any hardcore Sega fan with money would. 2 words - Panzer Dragoon. Plus, the last interview with Hitmaker said that Jet Set Radio: Future would come around 3 to 4 weeks after launch. Add in a little Halo, and some of the other titles and I will be having fun for quite a while.

Living - You got around 3 weeks after your GC purchase to save for an X-Box for JSR:F!

Well I had a dc but I traded it in. Now all I have is ps2 and soon xbox.  I eventually will get a gamecube, but with games like Halo, Raw is war, Munch, doa3,New Legends, and Nfl fever. I won\'t have any money left. Buying 5 games and 2 extra controllers, and the system will make you broke.  So I guess I will wait a year on gc or 6-8 months.

Damn. I had no clue it was goin\' to be so fast. Ah, thats okay. Its not that I was goin\' to have problems payin\' for \'em (I\'m already saving), its just I didn\'t want a new console without any games that interested me.

Thanks for the info man.

I\'ll get them all no matter how few games I will get for them. I\'ve got a huge collection of systems, so why quit now?

My opinion exactly. I got some systems that only have maybe two games for them. Then, I\'ll have another that has 90 like my 3DO. I just like collecting systems and tryin\' different games or havin\' the chance to try different games if I ever want to.

Alot of times, you\'ll find hidden \'gems\'. "Trip D\' is an example of a hidden \'gem\' for the 3DO. Tempest 2000 for the Jaguar -- though it isn\'t really hidden. Everyone knows it kicks ass.
