Hmm, let me see. I think I was 9 when our family got out first computer, and that was mainly for work only. We have never had much money either, so begging for video games or game consoles would lead to nothing.
So no, never got that one. And I usually just laugh and play along when my dad starts talking about how he had to go 30 km to school in 1 meter of snow, and had to take his shoes off when he was walking home to be sure they lasted longer.
Live below the poverty line and you'll understand. Coughungratefulcoughcough.
I got an Xbox for my 12th birthday. Never had one before then. So I guess I never had one before then. I would occasionally go to a friends house and play his Nintendo 64. That's it.
i can imagine: "when i was your age i was soo excited to get a ps3, now what is it up to? 12?"
I can imagine that too. At least nowadays we're so addicted to technology we'll be able to keep up. Mostly cause we'll end up getting all of them. . . .
