Thank you very much! I think I decided on the PIC32 series of CPUs. I'm still asking about on what a good starter setup would be and some good development books on the PIC32. I looked up the book you suggested, I think that will be another purchase. :-) Thank you very much for your...

Another thing I'd like to ask.. When looking at people's projects on youtube, I see a lot of FPGA units. What are those units and what are the difference between those and microcontrollers?

thank you for the responses! I've found quite a bit of microcontroller starter kits online. One of them was a pic32 available from microchipdirect.com, I've also seen the a few ARM Cortex3 based starter boards available from Digi-key and Silicon Labs. There was the ATMega line of boards as...

"Also buy a digital electronics/digital design book" -- What do you suggest for this as well?

Thank you very much for your reply, DragonPetter. I'm looking not only looking to know how to build a game console, but to also understand what the pieces do. Building a game console will be fun enough, it's something I've always wondered about since I was a kid. What do you suggest as a...
