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.

Mine is way louder than the Dreamcast - sounds like a cement mixer...  When it is loading it sounds like there are chunks of gravel in the drive...

If Sony / Naughty Dog made "The Last of Us 2" then I'd get a PS4.

A bunch for me, if not one game, then just a small number. I originally got the Lynx primarily for Robotron 2084, though I'm thinking of selling it. The 7800 I primarily keep for two games, Centipede and Robotron 2084.

The GameCube I kept primarily for Metroid Prime, though now I just use the Wii, which adds Wii Sports (my wife loves the boxing) to Metroid as two reasons for keeping it.

The PSP I bought primarily for Final Fantasy IV: After Years, though I've since found a few more to keep me satisfied. I can see myself selling it in a few years, though. Finally, I was keeping the NGCD around just for Sonic Wings III, but I think that's all going to go, too.

Edit: Oh, and I keep Steam around for a half dozen games, basically Portal, Civ, Road Redemption, Left 4 Dead, and Mortal Kombat IX.

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.

Allow me to take this opportunity to plug one of my masterworks.

Virtual Boy is awesome.

I also feel like the PCFX is one of those systems where if you're not into hentai games, you buy it for Xeroigears and hope that one of the programming teams here is reading every one of your posts and will make something badass that will make your purchase worthwhile.

I'd like to say that I enjoy Xeroigeams and Battle Heat immensely but so far I've been frustrated with the small library.

And I will support any homebrew project that ports something to this console.

I think that wanting to own a PCFX is the same as wanting to own a PCE PrintBooster or Virtual Cushion. It's more about wanting to own a curiosity than to play any kind of game in it.

Let's be honest, you're not buying one because you MUST see the anime boobies in Pia Carrot or play any other game from a genre that's dime a dozen on other "normal" consoles.

Except...the virtual cushion can work with every single game/soundsource.

So...Virtual Cushion is universal product.

I am currently using my VC with 8-track home stereo.

And when I am on the toilet, my Vita.

There are a handful of great FX games.  Those of us that bought the good stuff years ago are quite happy.

I should revise my earlier statement.
I bought the Vita TV specifically for Ys IV and Persona 4 Golden.

buuuuut that library has expanded quite a bit since, so whatever.

They're similar, sure, but definitely not the same.  The PC-FX has several legitimately good games, whereas the Print Booster (and Illust Booster and Photo Reader) is nigh useless.

Agreed. At least you can play the PC-FX. The print booster... well... you know necro, you have one :D

just remembered:

Initially :
imported a japanese sega saturn just for Virtua Fighter 2
imported a japanese launch dreamcast just for Virtua Fighter 3
purchased Gamecube for Phantasy Star Online I & II
bought and built a new pc for Phantasy Star Online 2
Interface unit and CD-Rom just for Wonder boy III

but then I ended up with a collection of games for all those systems except for the pc which was just for PSO2, photoshopping and youtubing

Dragon Force on the Saturn. I've got other games for the Saturn, but really the only reason I hang on to that console is Dragon Force. I've never played anything else quite like it.
