Sega-Dreamcast

Personally bought as in paid my own money for?

...wow, hard to believe but it's actually Sony for the PS3.

All the rest (except for DSiXL which came after PS3) I waited until Christmas/Birthdays and asked for them.

SEGA Genesis if you count parents buying it for you.

PS2 if you count me buying something with money most likely mainly obtained from my parents.

GBA SP if you only count systems bought by money you earned yourself.

Personally bought = you used your own earned money to buy it. AKA: Not a Christmas present.

DS Lite

The first system that I bought with money that I actually earned through the doing of work (ie: not birthday money, not Christmas money, not Kwanzaa money, etc., etc.) was my Gamecube.

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

the first gaming purchase I personally made was the NES with Mario/Duck Hunt. I was grounded for a very long time so I couldn't spend money. My mother would match whatever I put in the bank, so I put my $1/week allowance into the bank for 6 months, and the other half came from Christmas/birthday. My mom said I couldn't take it out because the point was to get me to save money, but my dad overruled because he wanted to play Duck Hunt.

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

XD at pathetic lines

Mine is the DS Lite I think, but that's debatable because I didn't work for it, it was from christmas money or something that I saved up for a few years and didn't spend.

edit: I guess that means Nintendo.

Sega Genesis

Cause I found one for only 30 bucks used with a small handful of games. Even as a young teenager I could afford that.

If you wanna go with full price systems it'd be the Xbox 360.
