My Xbox 360 isn't silent at all (Jasper chipset, so latest model of the fat line), but once games are installed on the HDD, the constant fan noise alone is quite acceptable. At least not some high pitched whine or constantly changing revs. I once wrote a guide how to install a genuine slim 500 GB HDD into the fat lady's caddy, I don't know if I posted that here on the forums too? Anybody interested?

Can't be louder than the Dreamcast.

Ah but that's a magical sound. wic, wic, wicwic, wic... screeshh...

Totally worth it... Seriously.  I probably have several thousands of hours into that game.

This will sound bad... PS4 for call of duty.  I ended up downloading some of the free games they offered and each year I grab the new CoD game to play with friends.  Haven't bothered looking into any other games/series yet though.

Edit: I did buy FF7 on the PS4... excellent port with some nice add ons (the speed up 3x mode is great!) so I guess that makes the system two games.  And technically I have three CoD games on the system now so I guess again that's four games total.  Either way... whatever.

I'm not quite there yet, but I have bought Road Avengers in preparation for the start of a single game Sega CD collection.  Like the rest of you folks this will likely lead to an expanded collection, but that's where it will start.

Years ago when it was still the new system I bought an og Xbox just for Panzer Dragoon Orta.  I eventually got more games for it.

Honestly Virtual Boy has one of the best ratios of Good/Crap as far as games go.  Many VB games are quite awesome.  I really enjoyed Vertical Force and the Wario game (its a lot like Warioland on GB)

Bound High is excellent too... though I dont know how easy it is to find.  I think it was an unreleased game that later some repros were sold of.

I have a dreamcast with Pier solar. I'm sure that will get some barbs thrown my way.

Havnt played any of the repros or homebrews but i do have the 14 US titles now and they are pretty fun! :) I really wish Nintendo would put them out in the 3DS store! Seems like a no brainer and an awesome way to be able to play em and preserve the virtual boy legacy!

@Senshi, get Mars Matrix & Cannon Spike and have a gay ol time!

Vertical Force is the main reason why I keep a Virtual Boy system around.   Fun game but the Virtual Boy really strains my eyes.

I played a friends Virtual Boy back in the day and I remember having a problem with the heft and awkwardness of the unit on my head rather than eye strain.  I think about getting one again though because of my love for the GB, and it's similarities to that - plus it seems to have some really cool games.  Innsmouth no Yakata in particular strikes my interest with me being a big horror buff, but also Wario, Tennis, and a few others.

I got a Virtual Boy for Teleroboxer.

Ppl would come to my apartment on the weekends and would want to play it, and the rules were;
1. you had to do like 6 bong hits before you played it and
3. the first person without a migrane won.

...2 was forgotten around puff 4. Too many maths.

Needless to say I dont have a virtual boy anymore
