SHIETTTTT A MEMORY CARD FOR ONLY $24.99?
I still remember when I learned I could continue a game after renting it for the first time
shit blew my goddamn mind.
>>339790564
Every "that kid" had this type of memory card.
>>339790564
>someone payed $47.99 for Jet Moto once
I have seen more copies of that game for 0.99 than I care to remember. It wasn't that good.
>>339791212
kek forgot my image
>Soviet Strike
That game looks fucking rad.
>>339790564
>Memory card
Was that like a hard drive for your movies and stuff before internet connection was a thing?
>>339791373
try harder
>>339791309

DAAAAAAMN WHAT A STEAL
>tfw the price per GB is the same on the Vita

Sony has always been jews with their proprietary bullshit.
>>339791563
>32GB is $55 now
Still bullshit
>>339791640
better
>>339791745
Why on earth would you buy a SNES now when the N64 is out?

>>339791309
I wish we could go back to when the USSR/gommies were the default enemy in generic shooters. I hate all this stupid middle eastern shit, all the environments look the same, brown and dull. At least the cold war provided games with the ability to be set almost anywhere in the world.
>>339791807
2 games vs. the greatest console in video game historyand still is
>69.99 snes games
those really were dark times.
>>339791807
>he doesn't buy consoles in the middle or end of their lifespan so you can play all the good games for cheap
>>339791807
No BC and theres the normal Nintendo drought. Whats coming out next? They have no third party support
>>339791807
even better why would you get a game gear
>>339790564
SHIETTTTT A CLOUD SAVE STORAGE FOR ONLY $49.99 A YEAR?
>>339791984
WHY THE FUCK IS SPLATOON STILL $60
WHY CAN'T NINTENDO INTO PRICE DROPS
>>339790564
I have six of those games
were you one of the millions whos first real pc was the pack bell sunday special??
>>339791905
by greatest console you meant PS2.
>>339792346
No, my first PC was a suitcase 8086.
>>339791807
>He seriously thinks that the N64 was better than the SNES!
Wow, are you for real dog? The SNES was among the best consoles released, along with the PSX and PS2.
The N64 was the beginning of the end for Nintendo. If you compare the library of the SNES to the N64, it's blindly fucking obvious that SNES was a better console.
>>339791563
Are you fucking kidding me?
32 GB are at most like $10
>>339792425
The PS2 was a meme console.
>>339792470
Fucking where? 32gb is $55 on Amazon, and more expensive at the other retailers I checked.
>>339792346
166 MHz was decadent. My first was a 33 MHz 486. Hell, I played all the way through Fallout 1 on that back in 1997.
>>339792613
?
>>339792470
He means on Sony's memory cards, not in terms of general flash storage.
>>339792265
because Nintendo is disney-levels of accurate when predicting how much stock they sell.
>>339792346
I love looking at old PC ads and seeing how fucking expensive they were and how shit they are by todays standards
Does anyone have the ads for pc hentai vidya?
>>339791608
>gb memory card
>PS1

Says the millennial. Toppest of the keks.
>>339792818
the 2400 dollar mac with no monitor still kills me, especially because today they still overcharge into the ionosphere for their products.

What kills me the most is the death of the mid-budget games. Those were where a lot of innovation and fun were had. Same with movies.

yea I mean just leave it turned on
>>339791563
Umm the memory cards in OP are 1mb and those go up to 32GB so technically they should be like 3839680 dollars. You're lucky Sony is giving you this good of a deal
>>339793306
>Virtua Fighter
>Virtua Cop
>Daytona USA
fuck, give me a copy of Nights too.
>dat 200 price tag for the modem tho
>>339793597
thank you Sony
>>339792718
vita memory cards are proprietary
>>339793306
Ah, yes, the classic prequel to Cory in the House.
>>339793529
not the M2 ones used on the PSP Go, though. 32 gigs ones are hard to come by and usually go for 40 bucks.
>>339790564
>$25 for a controller
Why the fuck controllers today have to cost 60 fucking bucks?
>>339793306
>$200 net link

wow look at them taunt you with that challenge.
fuck you sony and your bullshit taunt.
>>339793306
>WWF In Your House
Such a good game.
>>339793887
Consoles are sold at a loss now and recoup losses buy selling cheaply made controllers for a very high price.
in other words: they found out people would pay that much for them.
>>339792346
>$2,000 just to play console ports
Some things never change.
>>339792346
my parents had an hp pavilion 4450. it was a piece of shit but i loved it.
>thought we'd have at least 512-bit consoles by now
>still only 64-bit
my child self would commit sudoku
Why haven't video game prices increased proportionally to inflation like most other consumer goods.
Cost to produce them has also risen dramatically in the past 20 years but prices for the most part haven't.
I remember n64 games being the same or more expensive than current AAA games.
>>339792181
I had a Game Gear.
My batteries exploded in it.
>>339795748
Games were exclusively physical those days. Nowadays there's digital distribution, and production for the box and game is cheap as hell. Not to mention, Nintendo opted for the more expensive, less convenient cardboard boxes instead of the cheaper, standardized jewel cases. Even with the SNES, cardboard boxes cost more to make than clamshell cases.
>>339795748
It costs virtually nothing to produce a copy of a video game, especially with digital distribution. Because they have no cost to manufacture to make up for each game, they just price the game at the sweet spot where the amount of customers at that price multiplied by the cost of the game brings in the most revenue. Back when the video game market was smaller, they needed a higher price to make up the production costs of the game and consoles, and flash carts weren't cheap either.
>>339792346
>A $2,399 dollar apple has the same components as a $1,899 dollar HP
>The reason it's that expensive is probably because muh apple
All this time has passed and yet nothing has changed
>>339795748
Prices have gone up while wages have remained more or less the same. People are, essentially, making less money than ever before, which means less disposable income. Video games are toys if you need to be reminded
>>339795893
>>339796130
So manufacturing costs of the physical cartridge is why DK64 was £50 back in the mid 90s while Tropical Freeze never went higher than £40 20 years later?
Memory cards were always a ripoff, but somehow Sony thinks that its still alright to pull this shit with the Vita.
>>339792595
T. kid who owned a gamecube and didn't have any friends
>>339795552
The consoles we have now have 4-8 cores, each running 64-bit code. With OoO coding, much greater quantities of memory at higher speeds with more bandwidth, etc....
I'm pretty sure the PS4 or Xbox One have more memory than every console prior combined.
>>339796451
The group of friends who some had a gamecube
Some had a ps2
Some had a xbox
played 24 hours straight with melee
>>339791868
No, fuck that shit. I'm Russian and I'm so sick of all those evil Ruskies in vidiya.
>>339796415
That, and the fact that the market is much bigger now. That means that publishers can sell games for a lower price per unit in order to sell more units to get more total revenue.
>>339796808
You deserve it for shitting up online games for other Europeans kek.
>>339792346
Yo I'm pretty sure I had that HP computer. I think I still have the box in the garage, since I used it when I moved out.
>>339796808
Yeah, I hate playing with other Russians too.
>>339792181
Playing at night, under your covers. Sega does what Nintendon't.

>>339793192
>Try beating FF7 without it
I have. multiple times. if you speed through the game, it doesn't take that long.
>>339793306
>photo realistic 3d graphics
kek
>>339793887
modern controllers are a hell of a lot more complicated then ones from the 90s
I have that joystick. shit is huge
>>339791309
Desert Strike was the best, Soviet wasn't bad either.
>>339792181
Because you could watch TV on it for a half hour before the batteries died.
>>339792595
Shut up nerd. The PS2 was godly at the time.
>>339796440
Sony wouldn't be Sony if they didn't have a million different proprietary devices.
Not getting the best stuff.
Also the old vidya advertisement was pretty neato.
>>339799707
When did effort die?
>>339799615
>clear plastic cases will never be a thing again
God damn, why did you remind me?
I'd kill for one for my Note 5.
>>339800104
When the internet happened and print died out.
>>339791745
why are those games so expensive? With ps1 and n64 around they should've been cheap as fuck
>>339800156
>>339800104
It's funny how one game can ruin a career.
>>339800234
This was the end of the line, when you started seeing pretty clearly which console was winning the war. The SNES was getting DKC, MMX, FF6, Chrono Trigger and a million other games, The Genesis was getting 3D Blast and Vectorman.
>>339800431
Because people paid those prices.
>>339799615
i remember game boy colors were like 60-80 dollars here. I got money from most of my friends at my birthday and went right to the store that very same day and got a lime green gbc with pokemon yellow. A lot of the kids played pokemon at school, me and my friends all played as we walked to school. i would play it as i walked home too and play it as i watched the new episode of the simpsons when that show didnt suck then watch the pokemon show too. it was a sort of ritual.
>>339800234
vectorman was terrible
>>339791373
go fuck yourself
>>339796440
meanwhile all this bullshit is happening, Nintendo switches from proprietary to SD cards in all their devices. Suddenly no one gives a shit.
>>339799615
>ANON GET OUT
>>339800654
Of course.
When its good they take it for granted.
>>339800654
That's because their chargers are still special snowflakes.
>>339793306
should they have shameFULLY pimped it?
>>339800747
SO ARE THE GODDAMN SONY ONES.
>>339799615
>Kirby's Black Ball
>>339799707
I remember the left one.
>>339800569
just embrace the vaporwave movement
Face it, we're getting old. We do not grow anymore, we're dying
>>339792181
>Poker, Blackjack and Solitaire all use the same cover
That's some lazy shit right there.
>>339791243
That is after coupon. Standard price for games then was $54.99 if you go by the flyer.
I remember paying $90 for Britney's Dance Beat on PS2 in Canada. Plus 15% sales tax.
>>339792660
>33MHz
Remember that turbo button? Fun times.
>>339791807
I feel shitty for asking for THAT version of SFA2.. Well it was a good Christmas. I got the Saturn version a year or so later.
>this fucking price
>>339801631
what the flying fuck man
Were you on drugs?
>>339792818
What a god damned steal!
>$3,659.81
Imagine the crazy battle station you can create with that price these days.

>>339802428
It was one of the first music games available. I played the demo and loved it. The full game had FIVE songs!!!
All the PS1/PS2 games were that price. I think the most I paid was Barbarian for PS2 for $100. I had returned a game (they let you return opened games then) and I had to pick something. I think I still have it here somewhere.
>>339802703
just look at the ps2 2002 catalog, I insist you must've been on drugs
>>339803262
Britney was hot though.

The slim Vita uses a regular micro USB charger.
>>339791563
Why dont they just allow micro SD
>>339800431
for the same reason Wii games are the same price...nintendo
>>339790564
It makes no goddamn sense that the controller is only $25 but a memory card is fucking $25.
>>339791563
>$119.99 for a 32GB card
Did I transport back to 2003?
>>339791807
because SNES had good games and N64 didnt
>>339793480
The speedrun is like 7 hours or something so yeah
Probably everyone who has ever speedrun FFVII could say they beat it without their memory card
>>339800654
>Nintendo uses SD storage
Cool
>Nintendo region-locks 3DS and Wii U
>Nintendo ties your account and digital games to your console
>NoA's localization team
O-oh...
>>339808397
Pretty sure the 7 hour speed runs use save glitches so I don't think that'd work without a memory card.
>>339791745
I bought that version of Street Fighter Alpha 2. 2nd most expensive game I ever bought (Mortal Kombat Trilogy for N64 was the most), but it was worth every penny when I didn't have a PlayStation.
>>339791928
That was 109.99 in canada. I remember seeing super street fighter 2 for snes for 109 back in 95. Chrono trigger and ff3 were 99
