I found once you go back into last century you start to realise you were wearing rose tinted specs 

Good at the time, but don't compare to anything this side of 2000 and it all gets a bit frustrating

Yeah they're all better in your memory than they turn out in reality.

i have loads of roms on this modded first gen Xbox, sonic is still decent enough, but playing sensible soccer or street fighter lasts for a few minutes of nostalgia and then I just get bored and fuck it off. The shoot em ups can still be ok, but they're not what you'd call immersive.

It may be different with the actual console than the emulator but I think exposure to modern games will have spoiled most of the older games. Plus that lower resolution really does make a difference. 

Check out epic games by the way, they're giving away games, civ 6 the latest

Not played consoles since the lad was born but have busted out the ps3 and bought the odd ps1 games to download on it. 

Metal gear solid. Looks absolutely wank stretched over a 50 inch TV. 

Crash bandicoot... Still decent gameplay but again looks terrible. 

Still better than fucking mine craft that he's addicted to.

Metal Gear is still the best game. Hideo Kojima was asked about remastering it and he said it would cost more than the entire series to remaster it.

All 3 Crash games have been remastered in one game for PS4 and it looks immense and is still as fuckin hard as ever. 
 

Crash Team racing been remastered as well. Forgot how much I hate that cunting game

I reckon you are talking 650 quid for console, an extra pad and two games 

He's been a right cunt during lockdown so not sure he's deserved it! 

How much are gameboys and tetris going for? 

I reckon it’ll be £400. The reason they sold so many PS4 and PS3 because of the affordable price. 
An additional controller will be expensive. £500 package with 3 games would be my guess.

It looks bloody stunning

Hope so. 

There's 1 maybe 2 games he could play while I smash prostitutes in with a baseball bat on whatever gta is released.

I’ve not been on my Xbox for a couple weeks. Can sense fifa getting a run out this weekend.

Don’t get the digital one 

you will pay full price for all games dictated by Sony. Xbox have it now. I avoided like the plague. 
 

I paid 30 for fifa same day it was 50 for digital copy

I think retailers will sell digital codes the same price 

That’s what Amazon have said and potentially cheaper because no physical copy or shipping costs
