This question is mainly directed towards those of you in college...

[YPrrrr]

Alright, so it's been established that all of the consoles my brother and I share are staying home when I leave for college... So I either need to buy new ones, or get a labtop with plenty of memory and all that for gaming (my parents will pay for this because I "need" it).

Do you think investing in new consoles would be worth it? Or will it be a waste with so much to do already in college?

From my uninformed opinion, get a laptop. PC games are getting good, and even the old ones are still kickass.

Do me one favour, and do NOT get Vista, or, if you do, by another copy of XP, and dump Vista immediately. Most Vista games have XP friendly patches anyways.

My school requires laptops.   I'd really suggest a laptop as opposed to a desktop since you can always have it with you.

Well, I know I'm getting a labtop for sure...

My question is whether to get all the extra crap so I can play games such as Halo or WoW (just examples) on it, or just get a cheap one and buy a video game console (PS3, 360) instead.

What else besides games will you be using the laptop for?   If you have other resource heavy apps, get the better laptop.  If not just buy the cheaper one and a console.

I'd just make sure I had a PS2, DS, and a computer to emulate other stuff, thats the least amount of video games I could live with.

A good computer can emulate both of those.

First off, I like playing my DS in my hands, thats whats so appealing of it. PS2 titles aren't the best to pirate because their file size sorta limits them to torrents and most torrents unless the game is brand new will be dead. I don't mind paying $10 for a good PS2 game. Most PS2 games are only $10 right now anyways.

Also for people like Kaz, he is in college yet his school blocks torrents so he has to buy most everything that only can come from torrents.

Well, that and HTTP Tunnelers, but those things can fuck you up.

Oh and DS emulators don't work. Also touch screen is a bitch if you're playing something like Dawn of Sorrow where you have to write the emblem right after you beat a boss.
