[HTC One S] Terminator19:
No problem :)

If you don't experience the problems, which some others are experiencing then you should love it!

Also have you had a play with the device yet? If you haven't you should go and just have a good long play with one in the shop just to be sure, main things to look at are the screen and the software for sense, some love it and some hate it. I personally love some areas of it and not too fussed on other areas, but before V4, I absolutely hated it! Couldn't stand it and if I had to use previous versions, I would put on a stock android ROM and/or replacing every app with 3rd party ones, but with this version I haven't :)

I have customized my homescreens to look like this, I like the sense launcher and love the widgets (there is no matching the quality of HTC widgets and the unified feel/look of them IMO) but it does use a fair bit of RAM, has a couple of reloads when returning from a game as well as using the browser at the same time and I just prefer a nice minimal black layout :):

There are good games for android, can get genisis, N64, super nintendo ROM emulators etc. along with stuff like draw something, angry birds, cut the rope etc.

Can see all the games here:

You then can root and install chainfire and play all the nvidia tegra games.

And some great news for you probably:

So playstation classics optimized for our mobiles. Although you can also get a PS ROM emulator for android anyway.

Great for music! As I posted the info from gsmarena earlier, only mobile to beat it for audio is the GS 3 and only by a very small amount. Also very good for video, have had no problems playing 1080P AVI/MKV films on my mobile using stock or/and BS player lite and content is streamed flawlessly via LAN mode using BS player lite (although best wifi performance needs to be enabled for the bigger/better videos, which then drains battery a bit quicker) Battery life is also better on AMOLED based screens when playing video content.

Great for a cellphone, but most mobiles are anyway

It is strong and durable enough that it should survive the odd fall, but there is no telling really as it all depends on the drop and where the mobile hits first, if it is dropped on concrete then it could chip quite badly (probably will) along with a cracked screen. e.g. here is the GS 3 VS the 4s drop test:

And a one S durability test (this one probably has the chipping issue so may chip more easily than the new designed one)

No bugs for me yet, only had 2 reboots (which isn't unusual for an android mobile tbh :p) since I got the phone *touch wood* and it happened when I was using a beta app (swift key) and the multi-tasking wasn't great when using all of sense with 3rd party apps.

Aren't loads of ROMS, but there are a few, which seem pretty decent and there will hopefully be more as time goes on.

I see no reason to root and flash a custom ROM yet. Only reason to root is to get rid of all the ads and to get rid of the 3 dot menu button that wastes screen space on the bottom.

You have seen my battery use, which is very good and the best out of the box battery life (apart from Motorola razr) I have seen

Mine stays cool in heavy use and you can see a video comparing the one s, GS 2 and razr here for CPU temps:

Strongly recommend you to play with one first though if you haven't already.

I think you have got all the info you need, so it is up to you to make the final decision now :p

EDIT:

Also do be aware, that if you play games that much each day, you won't get great battery life then, it is the same for every mobile.
