Playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted on my PS2 and Sony Trinitron, even the calendar is form 2009

The room at my parents house seems permanently stuck in mid 2000s, too bad I can’t take the TV with me

    Easily one of the best arcade racers ever created. It’s a shame that the remake sucked so hard.

    Wow, you must have been rich in the 00s to have a Trinitron.

    Just for reference, in 2004 Trinitrons were $800- $2000 USD depending on size, in today’s money that’s $1300- $3500 USD.

      My dad told me that is the late 90s model. And Poland in the 90s was dirt poor, so it had to be very impressive back then.

      We used it as the main TV till 2012 at least and it served as secondary for some more years after that.

    I had that same TV. The trinitron was the fancy one of that size. I then upgraded to the xbr 32 trinitron HD model later. I had a aiwa surround sound system in my fists apartment, the TV was in an entertainment cabinet someone threw out and my speakers were on boxes. We would tune our cars and play grad turismo nonstop. I had the 3000gt, my buddy had the skyline and would beat me until I switched. Everyone would be laid out like seals when I woke up.
