@se007: That's nice. Here the nearest playstation 2 (non-slim) costs $40 when converted to USD plus S+H. The slim version will set someone back about $80 USD over here.

@suicidesn0wman: News flash: Not all of us live in America, not everyone buys pre-owned, and not everyone has a ps2 with all the games already. Check your privilege, please.

@suicidesn0wman: It will actually cost more to hunt out a ps2, pay for shipping, controller(s), memory cards, the component cables and hdmi upscaler...and good luck finding some of those rare ps2 games for a decent price.

@Pedro: It's very simple. If you're going to do backwards compatibility, at least do it properly. If PS3 games performed this poorly on a PS4, then I'd prefer they leave out that feature.

I payed $20 for Halo: Reach and, indeed, the frame rate is really bad on xboxone, especially with alot of enemies on screen. Whereas, I payed only $15 for Rogue Galaxy on the PS4 emulation and I have not had a single audio-visual problem 30 hours in. Very disappointed in xboxone backwards compatibility.

It's not the greatest time to be living in Canada right now. If his salary was coming over from the USA, he'd see it cut down about 30% when converting it to Canadian dollars. Plus Canada's taxes are very high and inflation has caused everything to become twice as expensive.

The parents bought a console that was a previous return. This is why, when buying a brand new console, it's important to check that it hasn't been opened.

Hopefully they'll announce a western release date for Monster Hunter X soon.

That's really interesting. Banjo first appeared in Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo 64 in November of 1997. Banjo Kazooie 1 didn't release until the summer of 1998. I would have liked to hear their thoughts about first testing out Banjo's character in the kart racing game before he had his own game.

And the $7000 will go towards his next rig to play Fallout 4 at 4k rez with as much fps as possible.
