    I have a 360 with Kinect that I bought my wife when we got married. She swore she would do the dance and exercise stuff. She might have used it 3 times, and then it became a $400 Netflix player, but now that our TV has the apps, it is just sitting there.

    I figured I will keep it for when my daughter gets a little older. Hopefully it will still work.

    I play xbox 360 with the kids once in awhile. My middle son and I are in the middle of an NHL hockey season right now. Other than that ... not too much anymore.

    You should try the first cabelas dangerous hunts. it is the only one that doesnt have a stupid story line but you can choose what you hunt.

    I think I have that one, I have two of them...the later version is just stupid but I did enjoy the older one quite a bit.

    When I was a kid, we had a tv with built-in pong. It was the envy of all my friends. LOL!

    I think when I moved I threw out an Atari 2600, a NES and a Panasonic 3DO. Gave away the PS2. I played the PS2 the others were just for nostalgia. Kind of like the LPs I held onto for years. Still have a wii around here somewhere. I have been known to play ridiculously silly balance board games on the wii.... tho' it's been a long time. I was also able to smoke my friends at wii boxing. :D

    Not any more. Played a ton of Rainbow Six in College.

    I have a disc burned for my old Sega Dreamcast that has hundreds of old NES games on it. we bust it out every once in awhile to play Mario 3 or Battle Toads :tu:

    Just as an update.....about farming simulator 2013 on PS3....I just broke it wide open. Last night I got to a point where I was farming a bunch of fields and had a bunch of grain stored and I got tired of driving a semi so I sold everything and bought five of the big windmills. I set the game time on x120 and let it run for a couple hours and then bought more windmills. I let the game run overnight and woke up this morning with $40mil, I repeated until I now have all the slots used up with 111 windmills pumping out $4000/hour which is like 40 seconds in game. Last check I had $90mil.

    I'm going to sell most of the windmills and buy all the fields and all the equipment, lol.
