If you could buy one Console wich one would it be ?

[Retro Doomer]

Lets say you Magical get enough Money to buy Exactly one Console of your Choice regardless on how much it costs and that you don't Own wich one would it be.And please explain why you would chose this Console.As I can't offer all the Options as the Poll Options are Limited I try to Make it more versatile.

I want another dreamcast because the one I have is broken :(

I guess it also counts if your Console is Broken as a valid Choice.

For me maybe a Sega Dreamcast .Or Even Snes would also be Nice but can't speak Japanese Sadly otherwise I just would get the Super Famicom Instead as I much prefer the Japanese Covers in most Cases.

And the Japanese Version

I will never be able to afford them but would love to own.
A sharp x68000 200+ and then add 200 in shipping.
A PC-98 around 150+ and then add 150-200 in shipping
or a PC engine because it was never released in my country and today is goes for around 300-400 bucks.

To be able to afford them I need to make more money than I make now. I make around 2000 bucks after tax bills alone is 900 bucks + food and other things I bearly survive each month.

On of my Family Members wanted a Pc Engine as a kid but I guess it was never shipped to Germany,man he was so pissed,it really sucked to life in Europe in the Early Gaming Years as Games normally had to be first successful in Japan to come to American and than it has to be Successful in America before it even gets considered getting to Europe.And especially in Germany where we had very strong Censorship Laws against Violence and Blood wich made many games no being Sold Officially in Germany Doom on ps1 was on such case.

As a Ps2 and PSP owner I can only say a Fine Choice good Sir,the Ps2 has pretty much for everyone a Game if he searches long enough,if it is in Human reach in term of prices is a different thing,whines in Klonoa 2

I have PS2, PS3, PSP, XBOX 360 and PS4, so there's no other console I want, specially cause I leave consoles since this generation. For me, consoles are no longer worth it, so I plan to buy a PC (when I stop being poor).

Did you spy on me this is Exactly what I have ;).Well plus a WII and a NDS and Gameboy,hey and my Pc that I use is the one I got in my late teens and now I go to my Thirties

and its not noticable at all when I want to play Modern Games Like ''Skyrim'' on it.Fallout 4 bought it on Steam Including all Dlc just to be not able to run it and that on the lowest settings mind you.And I can't return it anymore.

Right-right old chap.
Any (working) PS2 is a good PS2, I'd say.
Cheers to that.

the only video game console i am interested in owning that i do not already own is an original xbox system. i would like to try out games like N.U.D.E. and other xbox only video games

 

[Kremiso]

probably an original Xbox NTSC, due the progressive resolution compatibility, and the not on par emulation with the same generation consoles;
i have almost all the rest (Xbox PAL included), just not interested in PS3/PS4

 

[stoicvampirepig]

I've already got most consoles released for the last forty years, I wouldn't mind an AES Neo Geo and all the best games.

 

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

I want that beautiful black PS1 with no region lock.

 

[Elwiwi]

None I don't have games for them

 

[NeonKnights]

A Project Diva arcade machine, as I would get way more use out of it. No option for a PS2 compatible fat PS3 really? My only missing consoles are Saturn, Dreamcast, Wii U, Neo Geo AVS/CD, 3DO, PC Engine/GT, AV Famicom, MSX 1/2 and the WonderSwan Color.

Well, I was mostly using my own PS3 as a reference, which can't play PS2 games at all
and the Poll is Limited after all I literally can't add all Options that I like.

I guess it would be nice to have a PSP again. I gave mine away to a friend who helped me a lot. I wasn't using it that much anymore.
