A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

In this year I got a PS3, an Xbox 360 and a Wii. Now I'm playing all the good games on these platforms, that I've never owned when they were current. It's great!
Many of these can be emulated as well. Especially the Dolphin emulator is a beast - especially when paired with the Dolphin bar.
Just a heads up :)
That said, I have all these systems physically too.
Oh yes I know, I emulated GameCube and Wii for years, but I only have a laptop that while quite powerful heats up a lot while emulating, so since I need it for work I prefer to keep it cool and playing on the original systems allows me to do that :D also like this I don't have compatibility problems, especially for x360 and PS3!
