How much do you pay for consoles

[Hamish Durie]

pretty straight forward question how much was your console/consoles
mine was 80 bucks was an old xbox when xbox was dieing out just before the 360
my Ps2 i got for free dads friend gave it to me
my 360 my dad got with a phone deal
finnaly my ps3 which i foundin a bin true story all it needed was a slight realignment at it works perfectly now

so 80 bucks was the most i have ever payed for a console and it's the total amount i have payed for a console

Any PS2 (fat) and before was free because it was a gift or didn't cost money, but rather I 'bartered' for it with friends.


After that?
My PS2-Slim was around 100
My first 360 (old one) was about 8 hours of work - helped a friend out - still works.
My second 360 was 100USD with three controllers, 15 games, a 120GB HDD, and XBL for 3 months.

I don't recall what I paid for my DS, if anything, given that I think I bartered for it as well.

My PS3 was £250. I think my launch 360 was £279.99, though that was replaced by a £100 arcade version last year(already had a 120GB hard disk). My wii costed around £170 on launch. My slim Ps2 was £110, replaced an old chunky version which I wager costed around £200. Dreamcast was around £30 off ebay. Launch PSP was £179.99, launch DS was £130 but broke after 2 or so years and my ds lite was £120(japanese special edition import).
