I kinda agree with this. At the end of the day, I prefer my PS3 to my PC as a gaming machine. A lot of it is because of all the games the PS3 has that I love that aren't on the PC, but I'd really rather just fire up my console and play even for those games that are on both platforms.

I was a PC gamer back in the early 90's but that was because I didn't have an NES or SNES. After the Ultima series died, though, I switched to the SNES from the PC, and haven't really had a burning desire to go back to the PC. And even when I do fire up Steam, I'm mostly playing console-like games like Ys instead of stuff like ArmA or The Witcher.

I know what I'd like: a game with an indie spirit and an AAA budget. :)

That said, most indie games are as derivative of other works as the AAA games, while not all big-budget games are bad. Ni no Kuni, a big-budget RPG, has been quite wonderful.

I will never spend a dime on microtransactions myself. I guess if the company wants to include them, they can, but I think liberally sprinkling your games with cash shops even if the content is not required to win would make even an AAA megabudget game like GTA look like tacky low-budget trash.

The PS3 Youtube app is pretty good. I have never had problems with it.

I think I told you this, but I had my Mad Catz memory cards on PS1 crap out while I was playing Valkyrie Profile and Final Fantasy IX. I bought Sony cards after that. That was a case of penny wise, pound foolish on my part.

I also lost all my Xbox 360 saves when my 360 got stolen, and I lost my PS3 saves when my PS3 YLODd.

I thought it was kind of odd that the Saturn's save memory was powered by a CR2032 myself. I bought a used Saturn a couple years ago and its battery was dead. I had to set the clock every time I turned it on, and if I wanted to save a game, I had to reset it and save it on the memory cartridge before I turned it off.

Second this one.

It'd be kind of interesting to see the Vectrex in action.

I used to love Radio Shack's LCD games. I still have a few somewhere. Most of mine run on watch batteries.

I think on the other issue, emotions are just running high right now.

I like the Wii U a lot, but it definitely needs more games on it than PS3/360 retreads.

That 8-bit version of Pac-Man is pretty sweet, all right. It's hard to imagine that Atari went from a mess like the 2600 Pac-Man to a great home version like that. The 5200 also had the only really decent home version of Donkey Kong made in the 1980s, and yes, that includes the 75% complete NES version.
