When You Upgrade Systems Do You Still Play Your Old Sytems?

I've noticed that when I upgrade systems the old system for the most part gets put in the closet and just collects dust (figuratively speaking, I try to keep it dust free).

When I got a Gamecube, my SNES got put aside, when I got a PS2 my Gamecube got put aside, when I got a PS3 my PS2 got put aside.

While I still have many great games I've never tried or finished, I just can't seem to be bothered to go back to them once I move up the game system ladder.

What about you?

i always play my old systems:D

I used to trade my old systems in toward purchasing a new system. Now I'm buyin' all the old ones back again, including a few I never had. To be honest, my NES and Sega Genesis get played more than my PS3.

I would imagine that most of the people that post here are gonna vote yes since they are interested in vintage systems, hence being here.

its obvious if you look at my gs or trophies

I have to because my PS3 doesnt play PS2 games so when I wanna play PS2 games, I have to revert back to PS2.

Of course. I've got an Xbox 360, but neither my NES, SNES or Genesis have gathered any dust.

I like to, especially when there are dips in current gen software. That's the time you pick up games you missed from the last gen. This is a major reason why I'm not a fan of the 360--chances are I wont be able to play the games I missed when new systems are launched.

Yes, but it depends on the system. I sold my PS1(not the games) once I got the PS2, since the PS2 was BC, same thing happened when I got a PS3, I sold my PS2 cause my PS3 was BC with PS1/PS2 games. But I still have the old systems like SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast:D. I never owned a Gamecube, but if I had, I would've probably sold as well when I got Wii.

I am just as much of an old school gamer as I am a gamer of today. I still like to take out my old gaming systems and play through them every now and then. I still buy old systems and old games, even to this day.

[QUOTE="bigM10231"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] its a complete pain , it would have been much simpler if the PS3 simply played PS2 games, and sony should find a way to do that, they might develop a method once they stop producing the PS2 it would let me put my PS2 into storage and clear some room for another console. but yes I still play older and newer games, because I judge graphics based on when a game was released and on what system , and as long as the gameplay is good, I don't mind how old or new a game is.PersonNinja

I came across this the other day, rumor maybe, but it's not all that far fetched. It seems Sony has a patent for a hardware based PS2 add-on for the PS3 (PS2 without the cd drive?) Apparently it's just a patent, which basically means, "Ooo good idea! Let's save that one."

My knee jerk reaction was to go Noooo Sony! Remember the 32X and the SegaCD! But it might not be that bad of an idea, it's more like the Sega Power Base Converter lol

well i play the newest one the most, but i still play my Atari Lynx, my NES, Genesis, ps2, psp, and xbox360. but i spend more time on the 360, due to games like Fallout3.

For a while when I got my PS3, I didn't touch the PS2. Now after downloading some old PSOne Classics and finding some good deals on PS2 games I never got around to trying, plus the handful of games I owned but never finished, I spend a lot more time on my PS2 than I do the PS3. It's actually been kind of neglected, save for some newer sports titles.

Yeah I do. But not as often.

I don't play my GBC much and gave my GBA away to my bro. But I still play N64 and PS1. I'm sure that when I finally get a current-gen system I'll still play my GC and PS2 a lot.

I do, unless I have the backwards compatability option. For example, I don't use my PS1 anymore since I can play my PS1 games on my PS2 instead.

To me a game console never becomes obsolete.

I still use my old systems all the time after getting new ones. Usually when a new game for a new system comes out that I'd like to play it gets much more focus, but I usually return to an older system upon finishing the game. Oddly enough, I also have more PS games downloaded onto my PS3 than actual PS3 titles.

yes, i always play my old systems

I always play my old systems every once in a while.

Absolutely! There are 5 Nintendo consoles. My favorite is the Super Nintendo. Had the N64, and the Gamecube, and the wii for a short time. but I eventually got rid of the 3 upgraded systems from the big "N"

Still play Supernintendo, even thought I have Xbox 360 and PS1,PS2,PS3

Yes I still play my old systems (every now and then) despite having the current generation

I still play my old xbox every bit as much as my 360.

Yep. unless the new system is backwards compatible. Then I just use the new one

I do, but rarely.

My most current systems are my Xbox 360 and Wii, but I still play my Dreamcast from time to time. Much more that I play my Wii actually. Lol.

If I still had them. You don't know what you've got, till it's gone. :(

Lately I seem to be playing them more than my newer systems.

If the new system is backwards compatible, I trade in the old system but keep some of its games.

When I was a kid, I sold my SNES so that I could buy N64 games. And man was that the biggest thing that I ever regret in my life. But thankfully though I bought a snes again. Every console that I own I keep to the very end this time.

Definitely.

I'm now playing Fullmetal Alchemist 2 on my PS2 :)
