I still have my original Nintendo (Contra, Defender, SpyHunter anyone?) and it works fine. I waited until this past Christmas to upgrade to a 360....now you guys are scaring me! I did feel like if I had to do it over again (researched more...was an impulse buy) I would have got the PS3 for the BluRay advantage. Well...if mine blows up at least I know what to buy next!

P.S.---still hooked on Mass Effect...finally learned how to use the darned Sniper Rifle..lol. It went from the least used weapon to the weapon of choice!
