Upgrade your PS3 HDD and no, they were not easier in NES days.

At least you didn't have to wait 30 min for the game to install in those days

Things were much easier back in the days of the NES...

I'd agree with that also. I never had an issue with a cartridge-based console and I owned several. What you bought is what you got. Developers were kept honest instead of releasing a game that requires numerous updates / patches.

Did memory cards ever have those problems? I liked when you could take your save file with you when you took a game to a friends house.

I hate taking a game like Smash Brothers to a friends place only to have none of the characters unlocked because I don't have my save file.

Agreed
Most were pretty reliable (thinks back to his VMUs), although I heard that some of the PS1 cards had the occasional memory corruption issue. Not too sure if affected the whole card or just a particular save file

Borderlands finally got multiplayer working again (after GameSpy died) and I'm back into it. So clunky.

I got a custom made S-video cable for the N64. The results are great, getting the best image out of the system without extensive modification. However it doesn't work miracles, the N64 is and always will be a blurry system.

What sort of TV is that?

Old as hell Samsung LCD set, it's only 720p but has heaps if now defunct inputs like s-video and even VGA (Dreamcast looks gorgeous in VGA) makes it my essential retro system TV

I am pretty sure you can copy save files to SD cards.
