I'm pretty sure I bought my PS1 myself at Funcoland by trading in a bunch of games and my SNES, stupidly those games included Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III(6), Secret of Mana, and probably a few more classics. I should have just waited for my bday or xmas and asked my parents to get it, but I was seriously obsessed with getting FF7 and FF tactics.

First system my parents bought me: Sega Genesis

The first PC I bought myself is my current one, which originally belonged to my brother and was built by him.
at the time of purchase it had:
Gpu - 570 GTX Cpu - i5-2500k @ 3.3GHz Memory - 24GB (8 of which apparently he was just letting me borrow and took back about a year ago) HDD 400GB (some shitty hard drive which was soon replaced)

Built my own while still in school.

Intel 2.4ghz
40 GB Seagate HDD.
256mb HDD.
Onboard gfx (later upgraded to Geforce 5200)
Windows 98

First actual thing I bought was when I was like 14, I worked for a full month at a difficult phyisical job, 8-12 hours daily, just to get enough money for a good PC.

Bought a Wii years ago, the first and only console I ever bought(owned a NES when I was a kid though) and since then gave it away to the less fortunate since I stopped playing it once I got a new good PC that could easily emulate Wii games. Next system I'm planning to buy is the Wii U once I have the spare money, since there are plenty of games there I really want to play.

I bought my PS2 on release with my allowance, I manages to collect the money in just one year through birthday and christmas presents etc etc.

Then my parents bought me a PS3 2 or 1 year after the official release ( I don't remember lol xD). They also bought me a NDS light for a reason POKEMON ALL DAY LONG YEAAAAAAAH!

After a year or two i managed to buy my own PC, I still use that PC and yes it's crappy, now I am working to build my own.

cheers xD
