I look after my stuff, and it has happened to a PS2 disc that is only around 15 years old.


This is what makes it tough, what's different about that one disc? I mean is it a different region, bootleg, rerun, or anything unusual? I'll admit I use my older music CD's more often than my classic games because of my backlog, but unless I magically find something that won't play on functional hardware I haven't seen anything go bad outside of a save battery.

Look at how some NES/SNES units discolored because of the chemicals used. I got lucky, mine were unaffected later models. Place or time of production changes things.

Data rot is a thing. Its one of the reasons I dont really care about having physical versions of games. Those discs wont last forever.

Most of them will last longer than the people who own them, though, which is more than you can say for most online services and servers.


Its unpredictable though. Some arent gonna last anywhere near that long and some might last far longer. Better to just accept that everything is impermanent in my opinion.


Given the choice, I'll have more control over how long my games last on disc than hoping servers stay up. So far I've not had any issues with my discs other than some very cheap CDR's where the data layer wasn't part of the 'sandwich'. After so many trips in and out of the wallet the top scratched/flaked off and took my music with it.

Data rot is just hype from cloud based companies. Discs, properly cared for, will last longer than we need them to. That's all I ask for.

Haven't used any myself but wonder if some games just don't work 100% without the original hardware. I know there was a small list of broken PS1 games on the BC PS3.

If you have the carts then a console would feel more authentic. If you're just looking to play a bunch of games without the expense there's several emulation boxes that let you play way more than the few a hardware device will support. Being that retro is a big market now you can either get a dongle for your controllers or buy USB versions of everything.

It's malware but no, ever since I wiped the drive Steam was on there's no proof other than my experience. It was bad enough that I gave up on PC gaming. Honestly I'd rather explain it again than hear anything else about politics.

It'll be just over 7 years since the PS4 launched. That's actually on the long side for a console generation. Most are 6 years.


I'm aware, that's how long they used to be. Then more games started coming out thanks to indies and now I'd prefer they float closer to the 10 year mark the PS3 had. Not that a gen ends immediately upon launch of the next.

So dont buy it right away


I could try. Problem is I prefer to collect the launch models of a console so it depends how soon they revise it. I had a huge PS2 backlog at the time but wanted the 60gb PS3 before it was gone. I'm probably the only person who'd actually buy a console without opening it immediately. The PS4 was different as I only spent $24 out of pocket.

yes it does dude. no gaming => no crime, gaming => crime. very simple equation, even a gamer should be able to understand it

Except thats wrong. Ive been gaming since I was like 5. Maybe younger. And I havent been arrested. Therefore, gaming doesnt equal violence. Meaning you have your own problems to deal with that doesnt involve gaming... So, you should give me all your worldly possessions, go be a monk, and come back once they fix you... if they can fix you...


what games do you play


Same, been playing since I could hold a controller.

I've tried all the 'worst'. Doom, GTA, MK (even though I didn't care for it), Manhunt, etc. Really the only things I avoid are sims, RTS's, fighting, and sports.

Precisely. At which point did this occur? I mean you see 4 strangers roaming the neighborhood with no obvious way to know what they're up to. Was it during the day when few are around? Those who live alone can't even trust an unexpected repairman or meter checker. The ONLY reason this gets attention is because the media gets a racist spin. Anyone else and it's not news, just a misunderstanding. She didn't shoot after it was known they weren't a threat.

Serious? Sheeze, I must be pretty distracted then as I don't recall reading about DLC. It probably went on my wishlist and I didn't search for further info. Don't get me wrong I'm not surprised it was planned since the same happened with Batman and plenty of other games.

I'd wait it out. Any big game with multiple story based DLC's is a likely candidate for GOTY when they want to boost late sales. Border, Bioshock, Horizon, RE7... All games I've finished without any DLC.
