Title: Bought at launch
Post by: Tynstar on June 06, 2006, 05:16:54 PM
JWKobayashi comment in the Wii launch thread got me thinking. What systems have you bought/gotten at launch? Well with in teh first week anyways.

For me it was the Genesis, GameCube, PS2 and 360.

NES, PS2... I would say the 360, but I was shafted by gamestop ::)

I did have a DS within 2 weeks of it's launch.

None yet, now granted this is the first set of launches I've been old enough to afford on my own so we'll see, but I'll still probably wait for them.

I bought the Halo Xbox shortly after it being launched.

Other than that i think i got the cube within a couple months.
Not sure since i don't remember the launch date on it.

I bought a DS a few months after launch, but other than that, nothing.  I think I had an Atari 2600 less than a year after its launch.

The Wii may be the first system I buy on launch day, but we'll see.

DS on launch date, GBA SP before launch date.

Sometimes it is good when you work at Best Buy and also when the street date is broken.

Got all of my systems with the exception of two, a year or more after launch. I bought a DS about half a year after launch, and a 360 several days before launch (which doesn't count since I won it). I'm pretty sure the first system I'll buy at launch is going to be Wii.

Dreamcast - 9.9.99 was just too good of a day to pass up ;)
