No way! Colecovision will always be synonymous with youth for me. Also XOR's NFL Challenge for the PC. All you did was call the plays and then little X's and O's battled it out.

Seriously though, I asked for the PS3 for my birthday and my girlfriend started packing her belongings.

I just bought one on eBay about a month ago. I had one when I was growing up and my mom sold it in a garage sale. :x I also spent a fair chunk of my graduation money buying an N64.

If I were to buy one of the new systems, it would be the Xbox 360. It has the most games im interested in and is much easier on the wallet than the PS3. However, the free motion control for the Wii looks incredible. Heres a little sample of the controls for madden 07 on the Wii.

I was really never able to handle more advanced controls than Pong - and when that ball sped up - really tough!
