So, here we go. This Gen brought us the longed-for HD resolution and made many of us wow at those nice looking games. I did as well, until one day I decided to re-discover my 6 year old ps2. I thought it'd suck to play in SD again, and tbh at first I had that feeling, but as I played I cared less and less about the graphics. the game was good, I just liked playing it. Moreover nowadays you can find ps2 games at a very cheap price and I can buy like 10 of them for about 50 euros! ( around 72$ ) And there are a dozen of good games I missed out on, and I'm buying them now, instead of spending around 70 euros for only one game ( Fifa 2010 ).

So here's a poll for you.

I play old games for some reasons, one of them being that I have no money to spend on videogames. They cost a bit too much for me so I very rarely buy them, except for the second handed ones.

I still play my last gen consoles - and all previous gen consoles tbh (all but my Snes are connected to my TV).

Right now i'm playing through Killer 7 and Battalion Wars on the GCube, and Jet Force Gemini on the N64 (never finished it) though I dont invest as much time in them as I should. Saying that I do play many more older PC titles.

There were a lot of games I missed out on last gen, so I kind of have to play them now.

Which is convenient, since they're usually much cheaper than modern games and I can actually afford to buy them.

It's my fave Paper Mario game, too! maybe it's nostalgia, but I like it more than the next ones.

I also liked the 8bit 16bit era, but some genre of games just sucked, especially the ones in which you have to simulate reality, like racing games, shooters and so on I prefer them in HD and with good graphics

Where is the "I'm a PC gamer, I play whatever I want, whenever I want" option.

oh right, the emulators. except they're supposed to be illegal if you don't own a copy of the game you're emulating. Plus you can't emulate everything, so your statement fails.

I play my PS2 often, if using my PS3 to play PS1 games counts then i do that often aswell! i have also been meaning to play my gamecube more but i've just been so caught up in everything i've been playing. i have like 6 games to complete at the moment and Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 are almost out...

Some of last gen games are still looking ok (eg. chaos theory or riddick). SD is not the problem for me.....some SD games looks smoother than HD ones without aa

he's probably referring to his ability to play almost all PS games since his model is likely backwards compatible
