While not my style, I can certainly appreciate the work that goes into these things. Nice car, and screw that guy.

Yup, I’ve heard that a few times. I have a 2015 v6 and I love it. I like to call it my fun commuter as it’s my DD, but I can get on it when I want to with no worries.

Depends? For me the garage is a place for cars, not junk. Work shop idea isn’t bad either if you only have 1 car though I suppose

Wouldn’t want to get it dirty or anything.

Old enough to not be confounded by CD players? haha. I have yet to find a CD player where you would put the CD in label down. Maybe sideways if you have a vertical one, but again, rare in cars. In that context, the label is stupid to me but you’re probably right. I weep for humanity.

I would guess (since this is pre-production) that the “label” will be whatever brand stereo/speakers are put in the vehicle.

Oh dear I’ve been insulted. I don’t know how my fragile psyche will handle this!

I understand that. IMO, a lot of people seems to conflate digital re-release to BC. I don’t see them as the same thing, as I’m not using the original media to play the same game. There’s nothing “backwards” about it. Personally I don’t sell my consoles, so for me it’s just not a feature I would use. I can see the…

You know there are tools to record Cassettes to CD’s and such right?

You’re thinking about it to literally. It’s like taking someone who only speaks French, and asking them to work/live somewhere that only speaks Spanish. Say you hire a translator (a la an emulator/VM), that’s fine as a work around, but it’s not perfect, and adds a level of complexity to the whole thing.

How so? I know my analogy isn’t perfect but most consoles were Power PC Code for RISC cpus does not nicely translate to CISC based cpus (x86). Many games are built and tweaked around a very specific set of hardware. Moving to a new OS with different hardware isn’t typically planned for in development outside systems…

I have a PC and there is...kinda. with PC games what can eventually happen is that the game relies on X feature of the OS/programming lang/hardware/drivers and sometimes these features get depreciated/removed in later versions of these things. This can render those older games unplayable or highly unstable, though…

*Sigh* I’ve made my point, dunno what crawled up his/her ass. I think your initial post was ignored

Those are a bit different, and are in many cases legally required. (not games currently)

Uhh, not that it matters here but a few years. I also have: PC, SNES, N64, Wii, Wii U, PS3, PS4, Switch, GBC, GBA, DS, 3Ds. No Xbox sonce most of the games I’ve wanted on them came out on PC. Don’t sell my consoles, so I find BC to be silly. With the move to x86 consoles though it will probably be easier going…

God forbid I make a typo. /eyeroll

That equates to about 4.2% of the userbase (35.33M). While significant, still minority.

I actually just bought an S8 active this past fall and I love it. The active phones are pretty nice, and I don’t feel like I’m going to drop and smash the SoB (which it shouldn’t anyway) Regardless, the S8 is much better than the S7 edge I had before. I was thoroughly unimpressed with that.

IMO, a digital re-release isn’t necessarily the same as BC. Now, if either is an option it’s close enough I guess.

Unfortunately there’s no real numbers on it, and MS contested the Ars Technia article on it. Regardless, I’m not saying no one uses it, just that not a ton of people do. I know many people that just ditch their old system and games for a new one when the new one releases. Personally, I think just hanging onto the old…
