but the last time I bought a 'next gen' console was my N64....
That would certainly explain you being down on Next-Gen consoles.
I'm guessing most people probably already have a last-gen console if they're in any way interested though. I still have 2 PS2's ( one for US/Jap games and one for Euro ) and a shedload of games I hope to get around to playing one day. You won't get the kind of games I want to play for a song though, as they're rare as hen's teeth on this side of the Atlantic. But sure, if you just want to play European releases, they can be picked up very cheaply. Persona 3 is next on my to-play list, so if you spot that for a song, let me know ;)
