While I do agree that new consoles are a rip-off, are they really more expensive now than back in the 80′s and 90′s? I remember paying £399 for a Sega Mega-CD when it came out- and that was only an add-on to a console, not a fully functioning console in its own right.

Personally I think new consoles are a huge rip off. They are way more expansive then systems in the past and not really any more fun. I feel sorry for all the dopes out there probably making minimum wage and shelling out hundreds for the latest scam ..

I have never got into retro gaming, mostly on my 360 but i have to agree older games for older consoles seemed to be alot more fun that these of today.

On the whole I prefer retro gaming. I play the NES, SNES and N64 regularly whereas my PS2 gathers dust. Saying that- I do enjoy playing the modern consoles every so often. I own a Nintendo DS and am looking forward to Scribblenauts in particular. Comparing old and new is totally different. Games are just different now. Points, lives, boss levels- all aspects that have transformed over time. For the most part I prefer retro gaming though. I’d choose Super Mario Bros over Call of Duty any day.

@F Nack thats a very narrow-minded view of videogames you have there, I think perhaps you strayed onto the wrong website, this one’s not really for you mate… anyone else?

Leave it out, progress is about leaving the old crap behind. I don’t care if a game is good today, tomorrow there will be something better and that means today’s game will be history. Playing something from last year is bad enough, why on earth would you want to play anything older than that?
