I'm just waiting until XBox and PS2 come down in price more. Although
I did buy an XBox back when PSO came out, but later sold it after it
began to collect dust.

I'll probably buy each after the next gen console start to come out.

I still need a PS2 for Tengai Makyo II & III(I have TMII for
Gamecube) and want to play YS Eternal on a real controller(even
though the PS pads are my least favorite next to Atari).

I'm not looking forward to NOT ramming enemies in Ys VI.

Systems like the Duo still tide me over so I'm patient enough to wait
for newer consoles to become affordable and develop a decent library
of games.

The reason I broke down for a DS is because I'm stuck on transit 2 -
3 hours a day and am desperate for anything to pass the time(I drop
like $70 - $100 a month on magazines).
