I assume that's not what they meant but that it actually turns on with the power-on sound effect. The original Xbox One had a capacitive power button, not a physical one, and so it could well be activated by dust or any random debris happening to touch it. (I'm glad they went with a physical power button instead for every subsequent Xbox model.)

My monitor has those and it sucks lol. Especially if I bump it with a beer can or something cuz the condensation will make it trigger the menu button 40000 times or whatever until I wipe it off.

I remember the NG being like $800CAD and the games were $250 ea and it might as well have been $1mil because there was no way I could have gotten one. The arcade versions were usual 50c to $1 a game as well, the best game being Samurai Shodown

I think you are mistaking the Jaguar for the 3DO. The Jag was pretty average in price but most of the games were crap. The 3DO had some good games, but the system was around $700. At least the games were on disc so they were pretty average in price. The Neo Geo AES was around $700 with the games on massive carts that cost between $150-$400. The system and games are loving awesome (I'm a huge Neo Geo fanboy and have collected), but when it was new pretty much no one had them. Just look at one of the most famous games, Metal Slug. The MVS carts (the arcade version) are super common and not very valuable, but the AES version they didn't make/sell many copies and it's one of the most valuable games out there.

Jag had that one AvP game that sounded cool but I honestly never saw a system in person so have no idea. It was extremely cool that the neo geo games were essentially identical in the arcade on console, so giving them a real cachet to buy the home version. Just most people who cared about arcade games didn’t have that kind of money! Thankfully playstation came along and cost less than half of what the NG and 3do cost. The 90s were a fun decade for all sorts of console evolutionary steps. Speaking of the NG carts, are the differences between the AES and MVS carts just external form factor or were the games different too? Perhaps some changes to arcadify them.

They were mostly identical, but MVS had the idea of credits where as AES did not. Some games for AES were the same and just gave you unlimited credits, some gave you limited credits, and they could often adjust difficulty.

I just turn on my console by turning on my controller or switching to the Xbox Input on my tv. The button on the console feels cheap as gently caress. It's gross.

Flagging for some absolutely lascivious late 80s/early 90s lingerie and hair.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Db0_MSMVMAIOkKx.jpg Soul Glo posted:In my day we loaded our OS one diskette at a time and we liked it Some ancient games were insane with multi-disc loads. Some of the 16-color Sierra SCI games shipped on double density 5.25" floppies. Hero Quest (later Quest for Glory) shipped on 10 of these disks, and due to being open world you had to swap quite a lot since each disk could only hold a few screens of data. I remember loading a save once and it requiring 6 disk swaps before the game was playable. I think one disk was required twice, even  In Japan, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was on the Famicom Disk System, which required load times as well as disc flipping. There was one particularly nasty part where you'd leave a town, have to flip the disk, wait, and then without warning be actively playing and facing an enemy that would shoot a projectile. If you didn't react within a second or so you'd get knocked back...into the town, requiring you to flip the disk again, wait, then leave, needing you to flip the disk AGAIN.
