southcoast09 10/13/18 9:40:25 PM #40:	Modern gaming is a humongous step back in terms of convenience. Graphically? Sure, its advanced, but it takes one hour to boot up a game after youve Done your daily update and been forced to install the content from a physical game (which you intentionally bought because you wanted to just go home and play it). The PS4 cant play games from the PS3 because they want you to pay another $60 for the PS4 version. If you pay for one, you should be able to download it to whichever system its available for, for free. --- #MakeFinalFantasyGreatAgain <cite>southcoast09 posted [p:910483854] in Sony: you ...

AlecSkorpio 10/14/18 12:30:34 AM #43:	Lost_All_Senses posted... But then they aren't portable. If I buy a classic it's probably cause I want to easily take it to peoples house to play. You just said you want a PS2 that plays actual PS2 games....does the solution not seem obvious to anyone else? The problem is that buying a used PS2 is risky because they're all falling apart. And buying a "new" one for 500+ isn't even worth considering. And being completely honest, you're the only person I've ever heard mention these things supposed to be portable consoles you take to other peoples houses. But even if that were true, PS1 and PS2 slim models weren't even that big so you could still easily do this even if they had to be "bigger" to load the disks. --- https://imgtc.com/i/XLz4tpM.jpg <cite>AlecSkorpio posted [p:910491829] in Sony: you ...
