I think it's time

[Kitsune Sniper]

Brazil also officially launches a Sega Master System variant every six months. :P

[InsaneDavid]

I think it's time for Klax.

Wooohooooo! *goes to plug the machine in*

[Icarus Moonsight]

I think it's both time and space.



Oh wait, no it's not! You so silly.

Alright, but do they launch Sega Master variants officially?

I think it's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum.

I think if you go to the grocery store they will have some there.

I think it's time to make the donuts:

I disagree:

Gamecube games can be played on Wii, and the Gamecube controller can be used on some Wii games.
Xbox games can be played on Xbox 360.

That's a terrible arguement! So what, you can play PS1 games on the PS3, should that also be in modern? You can play NES on the Wii... and I'm sorry but you can *hardly* play Xbox games on the 360...I don't know if that even counts.

The closest usage of the word classic in the context we utilize it means "having lasting significance or worth; enduring."

Ok, fine, I'll bite, I'm not sure about the other two, but it's pretty clear to me that the PS2 has achieved that status...

GC and Xbox died long ago

You think two years ago = long ago?

[Queen Of The Felines]

It's time! It's time! It's Vader time!

[Enigmus]

It'll be 2012, and the world will end because it will be HAMMERTIME and not Klax time. It's quite obvious, really. And... it time to Figure it Out!

[vivaeljason]

I think it's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

As of right now, however, it is not with a baseball bat.

It's time! It's time! It's Vader time!

I see your old-school wrestling reference and give you a MASH UP.

in terms of technology, yes, that is ancient...

[Icarus Moonsight]

You're taking "It doesn't have to be old to be classic!" too far.

Hey, these orphan toddlers, they're classics!

2007 Mustang is now a classic people. Double the sticker.

And on...

In other news, it might possibly be Peanut Butter Hammertime, with the possibility of a switch from a baseball bat to a golf club.

2007 Mustang is classic? WHAT?

[monkeychemist]

Might as well lock this train wreck of a thread. It doesn't seem possible to have a discussion, a lot of retarded +1 jokes...

[Sonicwolf]

I think this does need some discussion. There should be a time-based threshold in which a system is moved into the classic forum. Like 10 years old.

[vivaeljason]

If we're going to start doing serious discussion, then I think that a system should only be moved to "Classic" when the company that makes the system has stopped supporting it for at least two years (arbitrary, I realize). Maybe that means GameCube and Xbox should be moved to "Classic," but seeing as how there are still games scheduled for release for the PS2 next year, it should still be discussed here.

In terms of technology, the current generation of consoles is also ancient, especially the Nintendo Wii. Are you going to be advocating we place the current generation of consoles into the classic gaming forum as well?

Nonsense

You'd have consoles like the Sega Dreamcast that have been dead domestically for 8 years with the original manufacturer having left the hardware marketplace being declared classic, while other consoles like the Playstation 2 that are still commercially viable 10 years after release would be declared classic in the same timeframe.

If we had any criteria to declare it besides when the forum as a whole largely supports it after a system is dead commercially and discussion for it has largely been curtailed, I'd support moving a console to classic gaming when it's more than two generations old. By then, support for it besides limited repairs from the manufacturer is largely gone and most people will have moved on.

I don't think the GameCube, Playstation 2, and Xbox should be moved to classic gaming when they're still major platforms in the used market, with one of the three still being a important platform commercially in 2009 beyond the second hand marketplace.

Maybe when the Playstation 2 is discontinued and the Wii 2/PS4/Xbox 720 are on the marketplace, it would seem right to move discussion to them to classic gaming. Right now, they're just the previous generation and still represent a large and significant portion of the marketplace.

That would mean the PlayStation went classic in 2008.
