Started on the A500. My first purchase was a Mega Drive, then Saturn (oops) before moving onto a PS2, XBOX360 and most recently a Wii.

The master system was my first console. I won in a games competition whereby I slaughtered people on wacky races and Doom 2. It came with Alex kidd built in!! Awesome. If only for paper, scissors, rock the best basis of a boss battle ever.

Ill be honest my memory is hazy but I also had (Between me, my brother and sister) a mega drive, Game gear, commodore 64, commodore amiga, N64. I got the playstation as a Christmas present in 96 I think as the price came down. I remember seeing a big box under the Christmas tree, so I made a tiny pin prick hole in it to see that it was dark silver.... Must be a Playstation!

Indeed it was. But my first love was Warcraft 2 on the PC.

I bought the PS2 with my own money at £199.95 and also the PS3 60Gb at Sainsburys discount for £298 back in october 2007. Never looked back.

first console atari then the NES then meag drive and the one that bankurpted my paper round monney for years to come the PS1. got my parents to buy it out the catloag with that super high interst rate added on.
my paper round was just enough to pay the interst off.
so that is most likely where my haterd of the playstation comes from.
i only have to see that black blue ray box and memorys of 6am cold wet starts and old rusty letter box's taking chunks out your fingers come flooding back.
sundays where the worst had to take the cricket bat with to get them sunday papers through some letter box's.
so adiewoo if you pay for a hypnotist to blank this memory form my brain i may just be able to stomach the ps3

That is quite a waste

Was it just me, or did anyone else get a "half life" flashback when the electrical flashes were going off?
