If 40 year old consoles can resume back to normal, so should 10 year old consoles.
However, it should be noted that the PS3 is now 20 years old.
Uhh.. Yes I do expect it to resume back to normal. Why the fuck wouldn't it?
Sure, if I connect it to the internet I expect all sorts to updates to be missing. But offline? 1 day or 100 years shouldn't make any difference. OK the CMOS battery might be flat.
Still have a slim PS2 and wouldn’t you know it, it still plays all the games I bought for it.
Who wouldn't? It's such a weird thing to assume it shouldn't just work (assuming no hardware failure at least).
If I turn on a PC from 10 years ago it'll boot up and run the applications installed on it.
"You expect the things you paid for and bought to still be there later?"
Yes, you corporate nut sucking fuck nugget, I do.
Haha, I was selling a whole racing chair/wheel/shifter combo for my partner's dad and he got it for the PS3, so it came with around 10 games. I used dirt to test it, ended up deciding to keep it for myself in the end.
BUT my account and downloaded games also worked, because I didn't hook it up to the Internet (which after reading this I shall never do).
That shit should be illegal. They should be charged with theft and treated accordingly, or at the least get the shit kicked out of them; the way we used to treat thieves in the good old days.
Sony should fucking refund me for every one of my games that I bought that stops working
| You expect a 10yr old console to resume back to normal?
Yes? I recently considered trading in my old Xbox 360, but when I booted it up I discovered I still had around a hundred games still stored locally.
After the wave of nostalgia subsided, I realized how lucky I was. Keeping that bad boy forever.
I've been using my Hotmail account since 1998. I can log in right now and go back and read all the stupid emails my friends and I were sending each other in high school 28 years ago. And I've never paid a cent for that Hotmail account. And my cartridge games still have my saves.
So yeah, I do expect that.
SNES/GBA game saves erasing due to batteries 😭
Yes, I expect that.
Just shake out the mouse turds and plug that fucker in
it's weird how the same console would have still worked fine if it were modded and had pirated games on it
I bought my NES with my own money in 1988ish after saving up for months. If I go downstairs and power it on right now, I'm certain Tetris will fire right up.
tfw i turn on my ps1 to play final fantasy 7 and my save where i go on a date with barret is still there.
Sony is legit the only company I know of that stores shit you bought on their servers and will delete your shit if you're not active on the account for over a set period of time (in their case it's 3 years, if I am remembering right). Nobody else has a time limit for inactivity.
My Sega Genesis from 94 boots up and plays the games That were purchased back then whenever I want it to…
