It's a shiny new toy!!!....the buzz of going to the store or sat waiting for the delivery driver like a puppy waiting for It's master, the excitement of opening the box, connecting it all up (not forgetting the pre night ritual of dusting/cleaning its new home)
Firing it up for the first time and savouring that new tech smell
.......then realising there's no new killer release titles (I think I'm trying to repeat that first high of getting my N64 for the first time, I don't think I'll ever beat having Mario 64 and Goldeneye as first games played on a new console, boy what a Christmas that was, kids now will never understand)
