I think I'm about 8 years. Found my parent's NES and then bought my PS1. I only started modding recently though, mainly because no one told me about it. Thinking of a 360 to mod. I'm one of the few people who do not have a 360.

 

[Ace Gunman]

Probably since I was around 4 or 5. I'm nearly 20 now, so 15 - 16 years. Ah, the good ol' days...

On a side note, I hate statistics class
