PS2 turns 20 next year, isn't that crazy?

Saying "HD vs. SD" or "offline vs. online" as the cutoff works perfect now, but would you still use that cutoff in 50 years?

Maybe. It is kind of like the incandescent light bulb. It feels like no matter how much time passes and how many versions of light bulbs become obsolete between now and then I will always think of the incandescent light bulb as the classic bulb. So, 50 years from now I can see myself still saying that CRT's are the classic television, the shows that were played during that time were classic television, VHS, Beta, LD, DVD, etc. were formats for classic TVs, and the consoles played on them were the classic video game consoles. Or maybe kind of like what comes to mind when I think of classical music. The same music comes to mind now as it did when I was a kid with no music being pushed into it from the passage of time.

Not a picture perfect memory (but you'll get the gist): I still remember when I watched The Big Bang Theory and Sheldon was playing Super Mario 64 emulated on a laptop...Someone asked what he was doing and he said, "Playing Retro Video games."

 

I thought, 3D, 64 bits, He's Not playing it on Original hardware...That's hardly Retro!!
