I have one, my Mom always buys me the new system, but I don't play it too much. I'm 33. Maybe it is my age. I feel like it burns so much time. When I was younger, I didn't feel like a game ate my whole day.

I have one, but it legitimately is for work purposes, and I've never played a game on it. Essentially, I just use it test stuff that goes with the XBox 360, like controllers, make sure games read, HD DVD player that goes with it, cords etc....

It's quite a shame really, as when I was twelve, I used to burn through a whole weekend on a new game. I just can't get into them anymore, than to go, those graphics are really, good. It works, OFF Button.

Well, I'm self employed. Me and partner in this, and sometimes have helpers come and help(If I could find some reliable ones). We essentially get returned stuff from stores, demos, Distressed packaging, etc.... So, we have to test everything essentially. Most everything anyway. We get a bunch of XBox accessories, and Ipod accessories. So, I have to test it, so we have to buy a XBOX360 and a couple ipods. I don't even use the Ipods or xboxs for some reason we haven't gotten any in our loads so had to buy them straight out.

It's not all great, though. I'm pretty much a Jack of all trades anymore. So, if I get a Load of stuff, and there is let's say 10 duplicate items on it all with the exact same problem, and each of those sell for 200.00 dollars working. Well, all of a sudden I have to figure it out, if I want the 2000.00 versus zero for the trash bin. So, after a few years in this I can fix Microwaves,Vacuums(pretty easy really), Dehumidifiers,
Most DVD player errors, Fix Most of your common tools.

That is about it. I buy stuff other people don't want or "THINK" is broke(user error is quite common for electronic items), or is actually busted, or demo units. I check them, and fix them if possible. And sell it. Simple.

A capitalist approach to saving the Planet.

They(All retailers) really are inefficient in there returns processing.

I've always liked tearing things apart, and seeing how they worked, so it works for me. Only difference now is I know how to put them back together again. URMM, well most of the time.

My 11 year old male Um has a Playstation 2, and that's quite enough.

He has begged me for the 360, of course. But we're really strict with the videogame playing around here. Keeping tabs on how much time he spends on just one can be trying as it is.

I think the last video game system I had was Sega Genesis.
