My daughter has an iPod.

That's all, I won't have any game consoles in my house.

I have seen kids grown up on these things. They turn out as social retards.

Wow, reading all that you lot have put here reminds me how out of touch I am.
I have had a Play station, a grey box type. Then got a new smaller updated version, got a game for it and got to the end but missed something along the way in the 1st part and couldn't find what I had to do. The game was a WW11 war game, any way, I gave up, we had kids soon after and not turned 1 on since.
On a ship I worked on once, to watch a movie was via 1 of these game things, had to get someone to show me how to work it, I gave up on that to. Read a book instead.
We have a wii thing, never gets turned on, kids are not interested.

Yes things have changed over the years even I have trouble keeping up and most of my friends see me as the go to person for advice all this cloud stuff makes things interesting but makes up backing up all your data (photos) so easy as well technology can be good used right.

Just like anything in moderation, some parents use these things like consoles as Baby sitters and this I feel is wrong, but they can be a lot of fun though with the family on the rainy days.

Give my son the choice of Game or hanging with dad in the shed building kwap and I think you would be surprised at what he picks every time I think its more a case of people not making time to spend with their kids is the problem so many grow up these days with no skills.

last night we sat back and watched a number of MySwag youtube clips on the TV some very interesting some gave us laughs some were OMG but without technology we would have never seen these and all the gory fun of 4WD around our country and with our fibre connection it was fantastic no buffering no problems.

It's all about raising your kids with the correct attitude and balance to all things. Denying them a game console can do more harm than good IMO. All our kids had "limited" access to gaming from an early age. They are all great social kids, we are constantly getting comments from friends and others about how confident and social they are.

They all have other interests as well. We do not police there gaming anymore and they still manage their sport, social and school activities in balance.

Blaming game consoles for how children turn out is just another modern day cop out for poor parenting.
Here for a good time, not a long time!

Well said achjimmi, my girls are eight & six & have their own iPods, loaded with games & music. They'd still prefer to be outside playing & if they didn't prefer that, they still would be outside. As a parent, it's my job to make sure that they don't slip into the couch potato mould with whatever tech/gaming device they have.

As for the rest of you guys, you're too clued up for me! I bought my PS3 as a present to myself the first pay after cyclone Ului hit Sarina when I lived there. That would be five or six years ago now & I just learnt how to game online with it about three months ago. I'm 34 & now feel prehistoric... The Dodo comes to mind  ???

Its the first game I've played with intelligent enemy.. in other words they don't just stand there and get shot like all the other games..
They hide, they jump out of the way = that's not to say the ghosts don't stand there but they are hard to kill at best of times..

There are also many 'hidden' things to find and do... Nearly got my main player to level 40 which is highest and the mega challenges happen and some of the weapons are .. :D
although many players got to level 40 9mths ago....

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum. (We were poor and only had the 16KB version. Couldn't afford the 48KB version :) ) - it would take 37 days to load your average XBOX 360 game... LOL

Friend of mine had a TRS 80 as well. Took a week of keying in lines of code after work each day just to play a game of chess. We would take it in turns entering the code as our fingers got sore and our eyes went blurry. Aah, the good old days.

Cheers,
