Earth Defense Force 2017 is a game I loved, idk if it still holds up if you didn't play it back then. So much silly fun.

I'd assume they're region locked differently.

While this is some serious future planning, none of those games will work on XsX when they're eol and drm is shut off.

360 will still work.

Also couldn't you just use a USA psu with the foreign 360? Iirc the way they're pinned our, the older beefier ones can connect to any of the newer models, but not vice versa (physically enforced with some pins and stuff)

I had a DLP HDTV in Jan 2005 and had HD OG Xbox on it. Then got a 360 in December.

Definitely wayyyy uncommon to see HDTVs in folks houses then.

480i (not p) may be what y'all taking about for component unless someone had VGA or EDTV.

So yeah it would've been super common for at least a few years.

It wasn't until something like Dead Rising came out (2006?) Where Capcom made the fonts for HDTV (smaller) which was hard to read on SDTV, a bunch of people were complaining about it at the time.

Saints Row 1 was 50x better than GTA IV or whatever was out at the time (haven't played the other SR), at least IMHO.

I had more fun in what I think wa the opening sequence - driving a boat and shooting missiles at a helicopter? Than any GTA thing.

It's just so over the top silly it's great.

Also The Darkness was great too but it's been a while.

For a moment I thought Darkness was when you had to fight your girlfriend when she turns in to a spider monster but... No. That was Prey.

I'm somehow confusing Darkness and Prey because for some reason I thought both were native American dudes?

What's the best component cable for the Wii that isn't absurdly priced?

Just fyi wii output even with component is pretty garbage. Theres some blur filter thing always applied and it's always stretched.

I mean still get the cables but I was always confused why it wasn't crisp back in the day, and recently learned this.

Speaking of, if one mods a 360 (idk what mods it has) can one restore the Blades dash and still play all games?
