For as many great home game systems that have come out over the years, there's been more than enough bad ones to boot. What system if any do you regret personally owning.

For me it was the Virtual Boy. I didn't buy it, but I bitched and did a whole bunch of extra stuff around the house when I was younger, just so my parents would get it for me. Everything about it was horrible, and I remember getting dizzy trying to play it for more than a few hours. Think I got sick of it after about 2 weeks and never touched it again.

PSP (although I didn't buy it, my parents paid $400 bucks for it which was really steep; I still feel bad that they went and got me it for that price to this day). Great system, at the time I got it, too expensive.

None I actually bought.

The only systems I owned that I didn't particularly like were Game Gear, Sega CD, and Sega 32X. All bullshit systems. I got them for Christmas or something when I was like 11 or 12.

Original Xbox 360. It had so many issues and just generally sucked.

I bought the 360 S and it's far better.

So many haters on the N64 sheesh.

Only system I every really regreat getting is the Wii. After I got bored of SSB Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy 1 I never really touched it but to play the original Super Mario Bro and Super Mario Bro 3. I gave that shit to my family when I moved.

I wonder how many people in this thread actually bought the N64 and didn't have it given to them for free from their parents.

My Xbox 360, had it a few months and it got the RROD. Replaced it with an Elite. Also the Wii, used it for a few weeks then got fed up of it.

I'd say my Wii. I had extra cash at the time and it's fun for about two weeks. I haven't touched it in almost 6 months. My parents use it for Netflix now. My parents bought me a PSP which I regretted because it was really boring.

I have no idea why anyone would hate on the N64. So many great games for that unless your a single child and you can't really play with anyone but I think that goes for all consoles. The Dreamcast had tons of potential. It really should have gone down as a great system. It had all the makings of a great system but unfortunately no developers really got behind it and it got released at a bad time between generations.
