There should be an option for the following.

DREAMCAST - PS1 - PS2 - PS3 - PSP - XBOX - XBOX360 - GAMECUBE - WII - DS - PC

I think I am a gamer

I only really play PS3 and XBOX360 these days (When not out on the bike that is)

Nope , i'm not into those things at all !!

My kids did have a PS1 a good few years back ,but they / me got fed up with it very quickly ,.....2 girls i've got ,and they're not interested in games consoles,but i do realise if i'd had sons ,more than likely there would be the latest games consoles in my house ,as both my nephews are into them in a BIG way

I just think it's sad the amount of hours spent sitting in the house playing those type of games (going by nephew anyway ,who's 14),....ffs ...when i was that age i was never in the house, i was always out with my pals ,whether cycling/fishing/ferreting/collecting birds eggs/collecting golf balls to sell/stealing apples from folks gardens ,or whatever

Regarding adults playing them ,well whatever floats yer boat i suppose ,i cant really knock them ,as i havn't tried them ,apart from years ago the PS1,,....but i know a big fella from work who retired very recently is right into games systems,infact with the Â£200 or so collection money we gathered in for him (retirement gift/age 65 ),he was going to buy another system

Anyone else not into them?????......surely i'm not the only one.......

I really enjoy games, especially the Xbox360 as its online gaming is great. The only thing that get's right on my Ts is the chat you get from young americans that seem to dominate the games! Other rather sad things are crying babies in the background and men telling their children to shut up whilst they play...

I'm getting COD6 for Christmas but enjoy playing operation flashpoint and GTA IV... good games...

I've tried the demo of the MotoGP games and they are very difficult. I've never really liked driving racing riding games anyway...

BP, it must be a Scottish thing, as I just cant get into games either, even the motorbike racing games dont do it for me.............decided I can only relate to it in real life, a simulation is not good enough [well the "internet art" may be the exception

].

I have to tick the grumpy box............ but would add that I would rather spend time with the bikes or any other gadget [MTB, RC toys etc]. Rideing, cleaning, building, fixing, modding, or reading about it.

If you want a real hobby

I can reccomend a trials bike to all of you .......... great way to still play on bikes through the winter, and it keeps you fit, and it improves your bike skills.

I only just took up this hobby [1.5yrs ago], and after all my time in roadracing and then enduro racing, I never though I would like trials as it is not about speed..........I was wrong ...........it could be the best form of motorcycle sport I have tried.

but I will stop as I am in danger of hijacking Timbo's thread, and that would never do!!
