i grew up in a pc home also my parents where cheap so my first console where a ps2 i had to buy myself when i moved out, but i dint miss out on anything, about 10 min from me when i was growing up i had friends whit a nes, snes, ps1, n64, gamecube and xbox (of cause this was during different points of my childhood) and i must say im glad that my parents where cheap if they had simply bought me the newest console and games i wouldn't have had to make friends, so my addiction to video games are the reason for my social skills.
