Consoles I Have Owned

The Commodore 64 – I know it’s not a console but it was used for “educational purposes” [gaming].

The Sony PlayStation 3 – bought from an airport. The original had multi memory card readers and Super Audio CD capabilities. It died and I got a newer one which had none of those capabilities. It now lives at work.

The Sony PlayStation 4 – This lives on the wall in the dining room. LAN connected rather than WiFi, obviously.

The Sony PlayStation 5 – this takes pride of place in the lounge. Wired connections obviously and HDMI through 7.2 amp into 4K HDR television.

Honourable mention goes to the Sega Saturn which I hired for a weekend in around 1994/5, possibly hired from Blockbuster.
