Video game related fact that makes me feel really old

[VolsSportsFan]

I heard this on Free Beer and Hot Wings this morning:

The kids starting high school this fall (Class of 2018), were born the same year you stood in line for a PlayStation 2.

And I remember actually standing in line for a PS2.

I remember standing in line for a DS, sadfully.

 

[BearCat204]

The only system I stood in line for was the DreamCast.............I regret this

 

[YankeeVol]

I've never stood in line for an electronic device.

I bought a PS2 out of a guys trunk in Colorado Springs.

That thing was a warhorse, my nephew still uses it

I hope you cleaned it before you used it.

Nope. Nothing is that important to wait in line for

Did the same for my 360 in high school parking lot. Only paid $275 when they were $400. It lasted me 6 years before it died. Dang RROD.

I had the TI-99/4A as well. It had several knock offs of real arcade games (it had "Munch Man" instead of Pac Man. Also I had "Parcec" instead of Defender). For its time that little computer had pretty good graphics.
