Since Xmas has passed us by, and with these bundles, and price drops and whatnot, I imagine that most of us have at least 2 consoles by now. I'm curious to see where we are at as a forum in terms of multiple console ownership or trifecta ownership (aka shangrila )

PS2 only. I ended up spending my money on other things and did not buy my GC. I guess it will have to wait till next year.
Maybe a birthday gift to myself in January.

I am a sick sick man
although I do think the XBox has nice graphics. so far nothing has really grabbed me to buy it. if it does money will not be an issue. If I really want something bad enough i just get it.
In fact my family just laughs everytime I buy something since usually they point out how I really did not need it

LOL @ missing more than 20 titles Wow, you are hardcore
Yeah go with what catches your eye. I will be hanging on to my GCN forever just for that occasional AAA that comes out. PS2 I really need to start playing more of its games, SOCOM consumed a huge amount of my time for a while, but I'd like to do some of those platformers too, when the price drops on them. And luckily XBL keeps me pretty well entertained (online gaming is my favorite new type of gaming).
I think next year when Fable, Halo 2, and a few other nice titles come out, combined with a $150 price, Xbox will sell to most everyone on the forum. Ditto with GCN with a $100 price and Zelda, MP, etc. And ditto with a $150 PS2 price with and its GTA series plus all the gems it has out for it.
Man it's a great time to be a gamer.

I agree this is a great time to be a gamer no matter what system you decide to get. all have some great games and now if you like online play two of the consoles are giving you that also.
If the price drops I agree more and more systems sell to those of us gamers.
I am waiting for someone to get two of the same console so that they have one in a living room and one in a bedroom

PS2 and Gamecube. Also have a GBA.
I don't have enough time to play all the great games on these, so I can't justify buying another console. Plus there still isn't a single game that's a "must have" for me on the X-box.

XBox.
My roommate has a PS2, but we don't play each other's consoles.

PS2 and GameCube. I barely have time for the PS2 anymore.
I have to agree a price drop and a few games like Panzer Dragoon Orta or maybe Fable might bring me back to Xbox. My biggest problem is finding time though. I hate having a console just sitting around collecting dust.

GCN and Xbox. There's very little overlap between the two consoles...they compliment each other nicely.
I'll probably get a PS2 after the next price drop, since there's a few titles on that system I'd like to try.

My GC gets way more play by myself than the XBox. But when everyone comes over for some multi-player gaming it is the Xbox and Halo(mostly because I am the only one with a GC and don't have 4 controllers yet, therefore everyone else can bring over their XBox controllers).

PS2 and a Cube. i really wanted to get an XBox but looking at the current and near future releases didn't come up with enough reasons for me to do so at this point. I'm sure i'll get one at some point though.

Im with Groucho and Copenhagen. I dont think I have the time for any of the (few) titles a PS2 offers that the Cube and Box dont have. I also have a GBA, a Dreamcast and a top end gaming PC. My plate is full. Ill probally never pick one up.
