You own what???

- Start date
PS3, Xbox 360
Xbox 360 (my favorite at the moment), Wii (hardly getting used, really), PC (mainly the workhorse but good for the odd Starcraft match).
The PS3 Slim has finally got me more interested in the PS3 as a CONSOLE (Take that, Sony! It's a CONSOLE! - sorry...). It finally looks half decent, and the price is a lot better as well. I'm not in a hurry to pick one up just yet. But it's more likely to find its way into my home sometime along the line.

We just got a WII but lost the owner's manual. Can I play SEGA games, or Game Cube games with it??
Rob
You mean... you mean technology has advanced in 30+ years?! No way!
God, I'm going to sound like such a geek now, but I'd like to point out that only four of these are actually set up (which I've bolded):
Playstation 3
Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
Playstation 2
Sega Dreamcast
Xbox
Nintendo Gamecube
Playstation
Sega Saturn
N64
Sega Mega-CD
SNES
Megadrive
NES
Master System
Amiga 500
Sega Game Gear
PSP
Nintendo Gameboy
Gameboy Colour
Gameboy Advance
DS
Handheld Megadrive
I think that's everything I own, almost all of it's in the loft, 'cept for the ones that are set up, and the Megadrive, which is sitting in it's box in the corner of the room.
I'm sure I forgot some in that list, I'll edit it if I remember more. Was there such a thing as an Atari Jaguar or something like that? I'm sure I have something called that in my loft, but it's 3 floors up and I don't want to check, lol.

Mostly I got them when the came out (or a year or so after). I bought the SNES about a week ago as my old one broke a few years back. The Saturn and the Dreamcast I bought on the same day around a year ago, and I'm pretty sure everything else I've just kept over the years, they all clutter my parents loft (can't be bothered to move them with me), and they constantly ask me to move it, or they'll sell it, so I need to do something soon xD.
I also bought 2 SNES controllers this week, still sealed in the box, wicked.

(Not counting the PC, which has NES, SNES, and N64 emulators on it ATM)
NES
Sega Genesis
N64
XBOX (Original)
The last two systems are ready to play VIA an input switch box. I've also managed to procure the HD input cables for both (though that's only when I have the time and inclination to use my 22" 720p HDTV, normally they're hooked up to our giant JVC AV-36330, which is still kicking.)

You can play GameCube games and if by SEGA games you mean SMS and Genesis games, then you can if you go through nefarious means or if you buy the ones available on the WiiShop Channel.

Thanks for the tip! I went out and found Altered Beast..I LOVED this game....the game I want to find is called Populus and a strange space game where you had to negotiate with an android race..a jelly race...and others, while trying to solve a mystery and finding earth...whew...
Rob
I'm not sure who owns Populous nowadays.... I want to say EA, but I'm not sure. Either way, it seems like most American publishers have avoided/have been shut out of the Virtual Console for some reason.
I was playing F-Zero GX the other day. I'm still greatly impressed with that title's graphics.
Don't be hatin' on the N64, mang! I love that console. It had the best FPS & Racing titles of that time.
I was beginning to fall in love until you said that you got rid of the GameBoy. Now, I'm not so sure how to feel anymore.
Anyway, here's what I have in the collection right now.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have the N64, GameCube, Wii & XBOX plugged into the TV with a switchbox or, in the Wii's case, plugged int othe TV's front AV ports.
Honestly, I'm much happier with F-Zero X overall in the graphics department. As far as the menu screens go, GX looks more "polished" than X, but the final product still comes off as a cluttered, dull, and overdone. As for the racing, the mechanics seem the same, but the visual presentation in both the racing HUD and the track designs seem bland and claustrophobic somehow. You could honestly characterize X's approach as more "gay" in terms of color palette, but somehow that seems to be more congruous to the F-Zero series' gameplay style than GX's more "metal" take. Speaking of "metal", GX's music was piss-awful.
Tangental, I know, but I have an un-natural crush on F-Zero X.
EDIT: Wrong system. The Xbox has component cables. My bad.
Anyway, what I should have asked was if you ever played Goldeneye or Perfect Dark on an HDTV with the 16:9 settings?
