I freaking loved being able to play PS1 and PS2 games on my fat launch PS3. Being able to play the PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics on my PS3 via remote play on my PSP blew my mind back in 2007.
Of course, this was before Square re-released FF Tactics as Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on PSP.
Back in either 2003 or 2004, for Christmas I told my then 25 and 21 year old brothers they could pick out any TV they wanted under $1K. This was right when HD was coming on, and I kept telling them to future proof their purchase and pick an HD TV. Those dumb@sses chose a 32" Sony Wega Trinitron instead, SMH (35"? Can't remember, all I know is that damn thing is heavy).
That monster still works, and it's still sitting in the back corner of the rec room at my parent's place. We have all our unused consoles there as well: PS2, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, N64, Nintendo Gamecube, and Xbox, with an AV switch, as well as all the games we had for those systems. We keep meaning to hook up the old systems to have retro gaming sessions when we go by and visit my parents. My kids love playing Parappa the Rapper whenever we go visit my parents.
They enjoyed watching me play Resident Evil 5 and 6 (wife wasn't too happy with that), but when I started playing RE Remake on Gamecube, that scared the ***** out of them LOL.
