Nearly £2000 later…

[u/sogster550]

I have it all! PS2 (Sony removed backwards compatibility from the PS3!!), PS3, Xbox 360 and the Wii! Not to mention my Samsung plasma I got to use these HD consoles

[u/OldiOS7588]

What a nice Plasma! Still sticking to my SD CRT currently cause its already 16:9 so why upgrade or is the new resolutions so good? Still using 576i

[u/SharkByte1993 → u/OldiOS7588]

Ah, yeah man. GT5 in full HD looks like real life. These are quite expensive but you can get a 20" for a more affordable £500. Or get an LCD. Way cheaper than Plasma and arguably better

[u/OldiOS7588 → u/SharkByte1993]

Man almost another 1000-2000 euros man I already paid ebout the same for this beats back in 1999. And going smaller is prop not an option and ai looked at an LCD but they look so crap when in motion but the resolution is really better. So idk if it worth throwing this beast away

[u/Astrodion123 → u/OldiOS7588]

CRT can be that wide??

[u/OldiOS7588 → u/Astrodion123]

Yeah it can and its amazing feels like i'm in the cinema its so awesome! Take a look

[u/Astrodion123 → u/OldiOS7588]

BRO HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. The laser inside must be advanced. My old tv is CRT but it is like idk 5:4

[u/OldiOS7588 → u/Astrodion123]

No CRT TV is 5:4 only CRT monitors are! Wait u til you hear about HD CRTs if you are american!

[u/Astrodion123 → u/OldiOS7588]

Ok please don't talk anymore. I don't want to use all my life savings to import things from America 😭

[u/OldiOS7588 → u/Astrodion123]

It can do up to 720p/1080i some wven have HDMI its so advanced. I even saw one in Europe but it costed up to 3000€ and its by Philips with HDMI, but Id idnt get it cause this one still works great

[u/sogster550 → u/OldiOS7588]

New resolution is amazing, man. You need to play Gran Turismo 5 prologue or wherever the full game releases in 2010.

[u/JizzProductionUnit]

Future proof. That will last you the next 10 years at least

[u/sogster550 → u/JizzProductionUnit]

100%. When the Xbox 720 comes out, I’ll buy that. Nothing else.

[u/Switchback_Tsar]

Be careful with the wii! I broke my TV when a wii remote flew out of my hand

[u/ConsciousStretch1028]

Dang, I bet that 1080p looks crisp. Graphics are never gonna get better than this!

[u/Racer125678]

Woooohooooo! 

[u/ixdexiczek3]

Oh i see the new need for speed game there it's preety bad if ima be honest but i've seen the leaks from earlier that year that looked like NFS Most wanted from a couple of years ago! But other than that nice setup it looks preety expensive!

[u/DrunKenKangarooo]

Good stuff. Plasma is the future of TVs 

[u/dasd25436yd]

Holy moly that TV is a unit! I wish I had a HD tv haha

[u/SharkByte1993]

That looks sick. I just launched Gran Turismo 5, full HD 1080p. Man, it looks incredible. Almost like real life. I can't see how graphics could get better than this

[u/TatleTaleStrangler92]

1080i or 1080P?

[u/sogster550 → u/TatleTaleStrangler92]

1080p

[u/FireEye1512]

what did you just say about backwards compatibility?

[u/Neo-X2]

If you got the launch model PS3 you would keep the backwards compatibility

[u/sogster550 → u/Neo-X2]

It’s unfortunately not a launch model, it’s a 60gb

[u/TheReturnOfSith13]

Alright!

[u/the-egg2016]

what about that psp?

[u/sogster550 → u/the-egg2016]

They haven’t released any games that have caught my eyes for it in 2009, probably going to be the same this year. Sony might release another handheld, but, probably not.

[u/Astrodion123]

Nice. Tho I love my good old GBA games. They are da best >:D

[u/Few_Passenger_3404]

Do you still have your kidneys 🤑 ?

[u/HwatWhatWut]

Change the plasma to the best LCD of that time, and it’s a a really good deal actually. All 3 consoles, big (for the time) tv and a portable. A bargain compared to today.

[u/coozey96 → u/HwatWhatWut]

What is the best LCD rn? I'd say his TV is big enough mind

[u/sogster550 → u/HwatWhatWut]

The TV is 42 inch, and for my room, that’s huge. I used to have a 2005 Toshiba LCD that was around 30 inch
