Last week, we shared our memories of the first consoles we bought with our own money. And being the amazing fans that you are, you responded with tons of fantastic stories of your own. As we continue to move closer to the release of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, we're going to keep this nostalgia train rolling, this time focusing on the longest we ever had to wait for a new system. Here are a few of our console launch memories, and be sure to share your own in the comments below.
It occurred to me the other day, that working at IGN for 13 years, my console launch experience has been really weird. In my teen years I got my NES, SNES, and N64 thanks to mom. PlayStation, GameCube and onward was all via IGN. So, the longest I ever waited? Four-plus hours at the Wii launch, November 16, 2006 at Universal City Walk L.A. And, of course, I was working behind the camera. Which is why you won’t find me in this IGN Weekly Episode 6 video.
