You!
You are old!
EDIT: Old, like art, is a word that depends entirely on the context used.
Less threads about arbitrary classifications please.
Just sounds like an utter moron hell bent on only appreciating the new consoles.Quote:

Stuff about ten years ago or more is old.

It's just a base definition, and adverbs may be added to differentiate amongst varying degrees of old.
You're welcome, it's a sad and forgotten chapter on history.Quote:

'More than ten years old' is a good measure, but not always perfect. It's really subjective, sometimes - an obscure game might become 'old' much more quickly than a classic; some titles just date faster than others. FFVII is ten years old now, but isn't widely regarded as an 'old' game. Syphon Filter is a little newer than FFVII, but is probably considered a bit long in the tooth (even though it's still a fantastic game).
Whether or not a game's 'old' can probably depend in part on if it's still got an active presence in the collective imagination of gamers in general.
perhaps when there is a new line of consoles. it doesn't mean that i ever tire from my PlayStation 2 however.
