Yeah, it’d never happen. Not while there’s money to be made from rereleasing those games digitally

Tell you what, make PS6 back compatible with the entirety of the PlayStation library, and region free, and I’ll happily default on my mortgage to buy one

Surprised that they’d want to rush into another gen. Tbh, I do still value Game Pass and continue to choose it over PS+, though I wonder how much longer that’ll last

Just realized PS5 Pro are already over 100k! Fucking hell. I always have 40-50k in my head for consoles. Wouldn’t that be nice!

- I’m not 2yrs away from wanting new consoles. More like 5?

- I’ll probably succumb to new-console excitement & buy one but likely not both

- Console prices go up, not down, which is mad, so makes no sense for me to wait post-launch

- Figure that means I wouldn’t even entertain a purchase: ¥100k

That sounds very frustrating

Are there three 3DSes inside?

Nice! Always wanted a skeleton saturn but I think I’ve missed my chance now, unless I find one mispriced. 25k+ the last time I checked - I suspect they’re much more now

Just in time for Kiwami 7

Ten years left to play every Saturn game! And I always wonder the same. Half expect the Saturn to reject my date entry

Congrats! Only a dozen or so more to get through before you’re all caught up

1994! Fucking yes! Great job everyone
A white saturn that works! The time-setting screen displays 1994-1-1

I know very little about this game, but I’m a sucker for cool presentation, so this has me even more interested!

Came together wonderfully
toomanywires.bsky.social
Bought these though. And the ¥2300 Saturn. Will test that later
IQ Remix and R:Racing Evolution on PS2 - ¥270+tax each

Didn’t. Looked inside and it was rank
toomanywires.bsky.social
Boxed PS1 for ¥900 too. Might

Original PSVR are sub-¥1000 now. Grimy but cheaper than a pint

Need some excitement in my life

Boxed PS1 for ¥900 too. Might

Unchecked Saturn for ¥2300. No wires, but I’ve already got toomany etc. Tempted to risk it
A white sega saturn, ¥2300 operation unchecked

Post a game in your collection, here on a Saturday.

I’ve been reading through the excellent Wipeout Futurism book the last few days, so here’s some Wipeout!
A japanese copy of Wipeout on Sega Saturn

Who else up playing Euro ‘96 on the Saturn?
Euro ‘96 playing on a monitor in the background with a white sega saturn in the foreground. There’s an action replay in the cart slot

Wonder if it’ll work out for them?
