What was the first platform you bought with your own money?

Either by saving up or just getting a job. I saw that other thread about your first gaming platform and was wondering how different or similar the answers might be.....

None yet, platforms are too expensive, but I buy all my games with my saves.
But probably I´m going to start saving up for the next gen of consoles

xbox360...

and then another xbox360 because the 1st one RROD'd...

and then Wii

and then PS3 slim

and then DS

and then DS again cause my mom lost it

and then high-end PC

and then X360 Slim + Kinect cause my sister wanted dance central

when i was a kid (age 12 below) i was extremely bratty and always demanded for consoles. End up getting a Genesis and Saturn, really bad choices lol. When I hit 14, i realize i cannot pull shit like whine&complain anymore and stuck to hand-me-down PCs from my parents.

Xbox 360,  my brother and I went halfsies. 

PSP

My first paycheck: PS3.

N64. Then i played through Ocarina of time once before I sold it.

PlayStation.

You know, consoles always come outt near my birthday, so I usually get them as birthday presents. With the 360, I chipped in some money. I'd have to say the DSi was actually probably the first I paid for entirely myself.

NES.

Wii

Thinking about it, the first console I bought with my own money was probably the original DS.

I think it was a Platinum GBA, because I don't remember buying my Game Boy Color. I think it was about $110 by the time I got around to buying it.

Saved up for months to buy my very own Game Boy Pocket.

Probably a DS, but if we're talking home consoles, then xbox 360.

Playstation 

360 to replace the old one I got back in '06. Nice 250gb model. This happened late last year.

PS1, this is also when I learned that a memory card is an essential thing to have with a PS1. From then on I made sure to know these kind of details.

Gaming Rig (if that count)

if not NDS

Xbox 360, both of them.

PS3

First console I bought with my own money was an N64, bought it on the cheap from a friend, after that it was a PS2 and after that a PS3

Gameboy

I've always saved for my consoles... so my childhood Gameboy.

N64. Used my very first paycheck to buy the system. Still have it at my house ready to be hooked up. 

Gameboy or SNES, can't remember which came first

N64 
  
I used all the money in my trampoline fund to buy it at launch. 

PC.

PS2, dropped like $500 on it day one to get the system, memory card, extra controller and a couple of games. First big purchase I ever made with money from my first part time job. Felt like a pimp walking out of that EB with my new system in a special Sony PS2 branded shopping bag. Great system to.

The original XBox. I got a used one like 2 years after they came out.

A Game Boy Color.

My 360. First year of Bachelorhood. Good times.

Xbox 360.

 Colecovision. Once I saw Donkey Kong, real fuckin' Donkey Kong, on an actual TV screen I cut lawns in the summer and shoveled snow in the winter to amass the small fortune (for a kid) to get one. Totally worth it.

OG Xbox + Ninja Gaiden was my first purchase with my own money.

The first console that I had to use my money for was the 360. After that I bought my PS3. 

The original Xbox, fat controller and all. :)

PC. Saved for ages, sold stuff and finally bought a system worth about $3500.

Playstation. 
 
Me and my brother had saved up some money and also sold our Super Nintendo to our cousins grandfather, who insisted that it was a Nintendo 64 even though we repeatedly said that it wasn't.

Starting with my old DS Lite I've bought all consoles/games this gen with my own money.

psx

The first console I bought with saved allowence money was the original GBA. The first platform I bought with an actual paycheck was the 3DS.

Saved up like crazy for about a year to buy a gaming PC of my own so I didn't need to rely on the scarce availability of time on other people's PCs.

That would have been Sega Megadrive back in early 90's. Bought with money that I got from delivering local newspaper twice a week. Had some help from my brother. Who still today calls me slave driver because of that. I didn't really pay him well (if at all). Anyway our first purchase was Sega Megadrive that came bundled with Sonic 2. The next big thing we got was few years later when bough NHL 94.

Super Nintendo.

Game Boy Advance - Used it once the day I got it, never touched it again.

I paid for some PC parts and built a "gaming PC" when I was like 13, so that would have been first I guess.

First actual console would be the Xbox 360.

Gameboy Color was the first system I bought with my own money, and I still have.

Amiga 600

PS3.
