If you guys can remember, it'd be interesting to see when/how/why you guys got the consoles that you own today, or did own at one time.
Myself, as posted in the "Under 25" thread:
NES - Christmas/family gift? No clue, too young, New
SNES - Christmas present from Grandma one year, New
N64 - Christmas present from parents, New
PS1 - Gift for myself with B-day money, New
N64 - After my parents split, Used
PS2 - Bought with Christmas/B-day money, New
Cube - First paycheque, New
Xbox - Bought earlier this year, New
DS - Waiting for me under the Christmas tree, New
Gameboy Pocket - Christmas from parents, New
Gameboy Color - B-day gift from my Mom
GBA - Christmas gift from my Dad
GBA:SP - Bought for myself
And I think that's about it....
