TXT MSG "STAFF" IN A 7 MEDAL TOY!
I suspect that opens the credits, and I *think* the toy for 7 medals is a cellphone you play music on.

Drew Carey had a Sega Saturn sitting on top of his TV for the first two or three seasons until Sega finally noticed and had him replace it with a Dreamcast, which remained there well after the Dreamcast had kicked the bucket.
I remember an entire episode of Rosanne based around the kid wanting a SNES, too.
Yep, type in STAFF in the cell phone and you get a pic of the staff in Rhythm Heaven style and some music.
This was the first thing I noticed about the harp.
Are you sure you're not mixing this up with the Simpsons?
No, that was "Dash Dingo", a Crash Bandicoot parody. The Felicity episode I'm talking about had actual Crash Bandicoot footage.

Fullhouse had a snes.
I saw that. I was impressed that they used actual music and sound effects instead of dubbing it with generic beeps and bloops.
It was Felicity's best girl friend who got hooked when she should have been studying for her exams. She and Noel (Felicity's friend zoned suitor) took turns to try to complete the game as fast as possible so they could get back to their studies. In a later episode, Noel and Ben (Felicity's ex) are playing Tekken 3 on Playstation. Because of pre-existing hostilities between the two men over Felicity's affection, they end up getting into a physical fight with each other during their Tekken match. Once they finished beating each other up, they made peace and acted like bros, confusing the hell out of Felicity.
Or something like this. hehehe

it looks like they just moved bowser's fireball to the top of his bald head and called it hair.

I remember that Rosanne episode. The kid is pissed that his parents say they won't get him a snes so he yells something about how he's gonna go to his friends house because his friend has a genesis. This is all while Rosanne actually bought the SNES and has been playing it herself.
Also I just thought of that scene in Billy Madison where he has an argument with one of the kids over whether the best video game "ever" is Mortal Kombat for the Genesis or Donkey Kong Country. That kinda stuff makes me laugh because elementary school me would have been all over that argument, lol.

Yep, Chandler was even playing Crash Team Racing in one episode. And unlike many shows, it looked like he was actually playing it.

Matthew Perry is a massive video game fan in real life, (it's how he got the role in Fallout NV), so it wouldn't surprise me.

Everyone knows that in the original Punch-Out!!, Don Flamenco never recovers from being stunned if you alternate your punches right/left, and you can drain his whole energy bar this way, right?
I just discovered that it works on Von Kaiser too, after you've knocked him down once.

I didn't know he was in New Vegas. Going to look into that now, want to know who he voiced and whether I recognise the voice in retrospectively.
Edit: He was Benny? I didn't even realise.

He's very reserved in the role, there's no Chandler-esque exaggeration of pitch or anything.
Perry actually played Halo in "Go On" (the episode kinda revolved around it, iirc).
"Will & Grace" had an original Xbox in 1 episode (stuck on the dashboard, though)
"My wife and kids", GameCube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gJ2jeQ1SmY&feature=player_detailpage#t=45s
"Gilmore Girls", GameCube + Soulcalibur II.
"True Blood", Wii + Dead Space.
There are plenty of examples.

What the hell is he doing with that controller?

I totally see it. Cut it off below the green part and wrap a ribbon around his eyes/head.
PC version of Halo 3 confirmed, then. With updated sound effects.
That was cringeworthy, as references to videogames on television usually are.
There was an episode where two or three of them were playing Mario Kart 64 as well. And they were definitely playing. Friends had no 5th gen bias.

This kind of stuff deserves its own thread. Why is always still so bad? Especially with a show like Dexter where the audience is far more likely to know what Halo is and know that was all faked and edited, therefore bringing down the realism and taking you out of the moment.
Shadow of the Colossus in that Adam Sandler movie Reign Over Me was the bet depiction of a game in a movie I think I've seen.

Sheldon playing Mario 64 on an emulator blew my mind.
Everything sounded right. Even the pause menu. First show I recall that really did that...

I was thinking about that as well.
Yeah, but before that he mentioned his mom had packed in the Memory Card as well so they could pick up where he left off. Mario 64 doesn't use a Memory Card. So they only get to break even on accuracy.
He ... he was emulating the Mario 64 DS and used the save from a flashcard !!!! =O
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

I'll never forget how funny that was.
God that was funny. I laugh just thinking of that.
That was quick. Video has been removed now.
Looking at the Fusion sprite we can see how she's slumped over in a way that we don't see in ANY other Metroid game and her hand is under the cannon unlike any of the other 2D games. The broken suit in Metroid Fusion means that she's holding the suit up herself. Badass motherfucker.
That is some awesome attention to detail! =D
It most likely is intentional. SA-X rests its hand on top.
Isn't the Fusion Suit partially fused to her body (hence, the name)? She would have to be carrying it herself...
I don't remember Metroid Fusion and how the suite becomes unfused from her. I really need to read that up.
It's funny that Metroid 2: Return of Samus is canon and really important to all subsequent games (it's where she kills all the Metroids, except Baby Metroid, which is the "last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace") and it never got remade to other platforms.
GB/GBC games of a franchise are usually canon and don't get ported over to anywhere. I think there's a Kid Icarus game, a Ninja Gaiden game - all canon, never ported anywhere.
Metroid 1 was ported as Zero Mission, for instance. Ninja Gaiden 1 2 and 3 saw a SNES Port.
Yeah, I thought about it for like 10 seconds more after making that post and realized that it's almost certainly intentional.
Bunch of hidden references in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon including a remake of the TV scene from Poltergeist and the Tikis from Donkey Kong Country Returns:
