I've finally given up, thrown in the towel, signed up for my regular fix.
I bought a console.
Why is this important? Well, tech-geek that I am, the only video game console I ever personally owned was an Atari 2600. Not the height of home gaming tech,( and arguably the first example of home gaming tech.) All through childhood, if I played Super Mario Bros, or Metroid or Lara Croft or Resident Evil, etc. It was on someone else's system. (The fact that I beat Legend of Zelda on someone else's system is a testament to how compassionate their parents were!).
But I finally bought one. And I bought...
An Xbox.
Not a Playstation 2, not a Gamecube, not even a PS one, but Microsoft's next attempt at world domination. Why?
An Xbox alone is a fairly capable machine. Play cool games, watch DVD's, even play High Def 5.1 Sound DVD's with the right attachment (19.95, tax-free third-party - Thank you Hong Kong!).
There is more I can do with it too.
