and upgraded my 360 to an XBone - may the Gods have mercy on my soul!

Though still doing most of my gaming on Linux! :P

So do I, so do I... I couldn't resist buying it when Witcher 3 came out. But it's still super loud hardware :(.

Yeah, I snagged a PS4 at Black Friday. But come on, it's the only way to play Bloodbourne ;o; Also I can actually play Rocket League instead of agonizing over it (though of course I'll buy the Linux version too, should it come out) :B

Right. I'm sure the customers buying the console and one frigging game are Sony's best customers. ;)

Personally I'd never spend hundreds just to play a single game or even two, no matter how good they are. Then again, I'd also never buy a device when I can buy an actual computer instead, so probably not in the target demographic.

Well, I've been debating on a console for a while now, if not just to fill that hole in my gaming spectrum. I wasn't getting an Xbone though, so it was between the WiiU and the PS4, and there no Bloodbourne on the WiiU :B (Also the 3DS online market has left me a bit salty)

I also have a PS4, but that was mostly for the new Ratchet and Clank and Fallout 4. Maybe Bloodbourne, but I am terrible at and have yet to finish a *Souls game :P

There's a lot of good stuff available only on the Japanese consoles, that's true. Happily we've started seeing some of the classics being released on PC as HD remakes or "remasters" lately. I know I'm giving up on a lot of games and even some of my favourite game series restricting myself to gaming on a Linux PC, but that's a given, and thanks to recent developments this feels less restricting by the day. :)

Well to be fair was looking at getting a blu-ray player anyways and thought what the hell... now I ironically seem to be addicted to Lego Jurassic world - which I coulda played on my 360! That and Bioshock infinite on my Linux pc :)

I had an OUYA for my console, died unfortunately. Exboxes and Playstations cost so much money ;/

My nephew loves these games. Or loved, until he bought the PC (Windows) version of Lego Jurassic World. Apparently there's a crash bug that seems to be unfixed since launch and is completely unavoidable. Something to do with a parachute in the Jurassic Park 3 levels if I recall correctly. Hopefully the console versions are less buggy.

@Hamish - there's nothing wrong with the Megadrive!

@Tuubi - had it crash once actually and not played it since but overall it's a fun game for some fairly low key gaming. Had the Master Chief collection delivered today so might get a bit busy... :)
