    The first gaming console that I bought was Atari2600. I bought it for $60. I bought it in 1996. I was a little kid at that time. I still have it in my stuff. Tell me about your first gaming console and its price.

    The first console I had, well my brother to be exact was a GameBoy and he got it in 1995 I think or something like that. We both played it a lot, and few years later we got a PC. I can't recall the price of it though, I guess the GameBoy was about 100$ or so. It was expensive for that time.

    My first gaming console was Atari 2600 and it does cost $100 at that time. It was the first console to play on the T.v. I had great fun while playing it. It had 64 built in games. It was 4 Bit game.

    I didn't get into the gaming world until consoles were already pretty popular, I think the first device I bought was a Nintendo 64, which wasn't extremely expensive at the time. I remember the good ol' days of Mario and Duck Hunt.

    My first gaming console would of had to be the N64, I don't remember the price out of the top of my head but it was probably around $100 maybe a bit more at the time.

    Mine was SEGA. I don't remember the model name. It costed around 100$ I am guessing. It had a lot of games which also were available in Wii later. But I think that was long long time back.

    The first gaming console that I ever bought was a ps1. If I can remember well, I think it was going for about $150 back then.

    Mine is Ps1 and Gameboy. The Gameboy is owned by my brother. I also used it when I get tired with the other one. I don't know the price back then because it was a gift from Christmas Party when I was a kid.

    The first console that i bought was a PSP at around $200. I used to play TEKKEN and NBA . Its really convenient and efficient during travels and the fact that you can play it any where is a plus back then.

    That is surprisingly cheap compared what most consoles cost today.

    The first console I had was a Super Nintendo Entertainment System or what is widely known as SNES. Bought by my father for I believe was $50 at the time. If my memory serves me right, I asked him if he could buy it for me for Christmas and I swear I'll be a good boy for the rest of my life. I turned out fine, good times!

    Yeah, that's what I thought so too, it's quite affordable ever since it was released.

    Yeah, chances are it will get lower or be higher due to vintage.

    I wonder when they will make another hand held console like a follow up to Game Boy.
