    Yup

    PS5 didn’t get it until like 2 years into its life cycle

    So this is no big deal IMO

    u can get a new tv with a composite video input. last year i got a new sony bravia tv and it had this. this was important for me because i still play my PS2 for mvp baseball 2005. it doesn't have the red-white-yellow input on the tv but it has 1 input hole for this. i just needed to buy a $5 adapter off amazon to turn those red-yellow-white cables into one cable and it worked great.

    baseball is obviously a timing-intensive game so i was worried about input lag from using this method, but i was pleasantly surprised at how well it played (no noticeable lag). the graphics on the big screen are what they are, but i was worried about this when i was tv shopping and i was happy with the outcome. no need to keep an old tv to play old systems.

    if you have an old CRT id never throw it out. theyll never make them again and theyre beautiful

    yea from what I could tell, a lot of tv makers have started including this as an input option in recent years.

    I also looked into converting the old systems to an HDMI input but that requires an expensive video converter that costs triple figures minimum

    Oh by the way, I sold my Switch This means that the OP of the Nintendo thread no longer has a Nintendo Switch, and does not plan to get a Switch 2 at launch. Right now I only have a PS5, which means from now on this thread will only cover Sony news.
