I have a PS, PS2, and GamBoy.
BUT, nothing beats the good old PC.
You can always play anything on the PC, lol :p :)

Currently hooked up are an Xbox 360, PS2, and N64. I also have a Sega Genesis and NES in the drawer that can be hooked up at a moment's notice. Also have a GBA and an Atari Lynx.
And I have a PC, but I haven't used a PC for games in years.

You put up Gameboy, which isn't supported anymore, but no DS?
I've got both versions of the XBOX, a DS (which technically isn't a Gameboy, though it does play GB Advance games), and my PC rarely gets used anymore. I hate the constant technical trouble and upgrades required. We've also got an SNES we bought factory sealed 6 years ago off of eBay but only have 3 games for it, so it gets little use.
Hmm... the maker of this thread seems to be a Nintendo fanboy. He sums all the rivaling console makers' (Microsoft and Sony) productions under the same topic but let's Nintendo have separate entries for its different generation consoles...
I'm a PC guy. Thoroughly. That makes me also wonder if people who pick "PC" simply pick it because they, duh, own one or do they have a rig that's good enough with running majority of the games nowadays?
Of course, if you're an oldie fan (guilty), it's not that much of an issue...

I have a Playstation 1 that I haven't touched in years...
...an Xbox...
...a Nintendo DS that was my husband's Xmas gift last year...
...and an Xbox 360 that was our xmas gift to each other this year.
The 360 looks awesome even without the HD TV and I'm glad we got it. We got Mass Effect from our friend as an xmas present and we've been enjoying that so far. The character customization is really cool. We got our characters to look very similar to ourselves. It's fun :D
No red ring of death.... yet... *crosses fingers*
EDIT: And of course a PC, but the only game I've ever played on it was Curse of Monkey Island and the one after that.
I just recently purchased a PS3...after MUCH negotiating with my wife. I only have Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 at the moment. And unlike the Xbox 360, the PS3 looks horrible non-HD. But on our new LCD HDTV (with the HDMI cables) it looks amazing. Thanks to "Black Friday" and Best Buy!
My wife wants a Wii...which my parents are probably getting us for Christmas (if they can find one).
I also have a PS2, PS1, a Game Boy Advance, and a PC (which I rarely use for gaming).
Growing up I had a NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, and SNES.
....... Ya know whats absoloutly funny?... This exact question was what I used for a survey project in math. The project is done but I thought it would be interesting to see what Raveners own.... and now the results here match the results I got at school nearly to a T. In fact Playstation and Xbox are tied in this pole and thats exactly what happend in my project AND with the same number of votes too.
Anyway, I counted Gameboy, color, advanced, advanced SP, and DS altogether.
I'm actualy a Playstation guy...

I've got a Wii, a Sega Genesis, and an NES (although I'm repeatedly getting the blinking screen of doom, and changing the connector out and blowing on cartridges has not helped. May it rest in peace :(). We also have an old Atari 2600 tucked away. :)

N64
Game Boy Color

Playstation (PSX--it's my latest acquisition)
Looking at getting a 360 for the new Indy game and, even though the reviews were poor, for Perfect Dark Zero. The original was always a favorite.
Oh, and I have a Super-Retro Port (http://retrousb.com/index.php?productID=118). They're a bit pricey at $28 each (after shipping), but totally worth the investment. Real sturdy.

Yeah, you know I was surprised at the reaction from my old landlord's kids when I told them I have Super NES. I thought they'd say "oh..." (like, I'm old), but instead they said, "You have the Super NES? Cool! Can I play on it sometime?" I was really shocked they said that. Why do they consider it cool? Is it the retro-ness of it?

Retro-ness,That and alot of those games were top notch.
For example
The Indy game
The Super SW trilogy game
Super Mario World
Zelda:A Link to the past
Super Metroid
Alot of these games I still play to this day and stand up to newer games.

Mmm... Indy's Greatest Adventures. Love. I was just playing that earlier today during work (with my retroport... love).
Yeah, NES is my favorite system by N64 and SNES are tied for second.

As someone who can say the same for the original... and who has played the 360 version. Let me assure you they are not the same animal. I was let down. There are remanants of what was the good 'ol game on the N64, but mostly it's just not that great.
Still. If you can get it for a good price, it might be worth it.

It's kinda funny that all of my old school systems still work to this day like they did when I first had them.My PS1 doesn't work to well and I'm on my second PS2.I guess they don't make them like they used to...

Disappointing to hear of course, but you aren't the first to assure me of this. I feel I need to ruin it for myself... too many fond memories of the first to not play the second even if it is that bad.
