new or old

since others have brought up technology.

tech: when it comes to electronics of nearly any kind i almost always so newer is better, but there are a few things that i don't like. like harddrive video cameras, in the long run it saves you a ton of money, i got mine when they were just starting to come out and were 600$ price tag i lucked out and got a refurbished one off ebay for a little over 300$ which was a steal when they were brand new. out of almost every camera i owned i am the most happy with this one. cellphones however sound have stayed pre lg env, keep the games and custom ringtones that's really all that was ever needed, games so you have a reason to use the phone [that's what i use mine for gaming], and custom ringtones so we don't have to hear the god awful beeps of a normal phone ringer [we have a home business and the phone sometimes never stops ringing].

i love my slim casio camera, but i have to go to another brand if i want to upgrade or need to replace it. i hate the new casio exclim interface. they put open menu and confirm on the same button, true story i was messing with a new exclim in best buy to see what it was about, i spent a good while trying to figure out how to open the menu, i was looking all over the camera for a menu button i even tapped the screen to see if it was a touch screen.

Middle ground for video game consoles, mostly concerning the PlayStation 2 and 3, and what's available for them. I have games that I absolutely love for the PS2, but I also have newer games for the PS3 that I love.

Alright, let me rethink this. The PS2's generation was actually probably the best. Sure, it wasn't HD, but the graphics power of the console was good enough for me. Not only were there more games for that generation, but the quality back then was, on average, better. Now everything is always rushed to the already saturated market just to make a quick buck or two. There's only a handful of games actually worth playing this generation. My only real complaint with the previous generation is the lack of online play.

You see, this is why the PC is the best platform. Not only can we still play older games, but we can even play them online and in high definition. In the PC world, newer is almost always going to be better, because it's possible to play the past with the future. Good luck trying that with a console.

I agree with you. This is exactly why I'm taking really good care of my PS2, so it lasts longer and I can play the games I love so much.

I`d much prefer older music!! ! I love the 80`s!! !! !! ! But I also like some of the 60`s and 70`s.

My favorite tv shows are mostly from 2000 on. I also prefer newer anime. Though many of my USA made cartoons I prefer before 2000. Such as doug, Scooby Doo, Rugrats.

I traded in my PS2 a year after I bought 360. I'm a graphics whore, so after playing Elder Scrolls and Gears of War...well, the PS2 just made me sick lol. So I traded it in.......along with 93 PS2 games. I still have my Dreamcast though.

Why not just get a PS3? They're backward compatible are they not? Or did they do away with that on the newer slim models? I know they got rid of a few features, I just don't remember which.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer as far as old, and today's dance party music as far as new!!

Willy Wonka: Johnny Depp version (new)

Addams Family: 60s TV series (old)

Older TV. Stuff that was out when I was a kid or young teen except for the adult cartoons.

New Internet & Computer Technology. I don't think I need to explain this one.

Music~
Older Rock. I like 80s & 90s rock like classic rock & hair-bands & grunge stuff.
Older Pop. From the 80s & some 70s till a couple yeas ago. I hate how alot of the current pop is really slow stuff or the songs change in the middle for bad rapping or it's just weird.
New Country. Country music is getting more like pop used to be.

With things like appliances, electronics, and other durable goods, I like older and in good condition. I still have tube type TV sets, including some from the 1940s as collectors items. We just bought a new washing machine and dryer, and I despise the washing machine because it only uses about an inch of water in the bottom of the tub, and it doesn't do a good job unless I manually fill it higher with a hose first. AND, it locks the lid shut so I can't throw in an odd sock or something I missed, after I started it.

For cars, I like new and old. For just transportation and reliability, I like a late model Toyota or other sensible car of good repute, but I also love vintage cars from the 50s and the 70s.


For houses, I like newer but well-built. Things like fire safety, and floor plans, are much better in my opinion than older houses built before the 1980s, or so. Our Dallas house was built in 1990, and it's small (1500 sf 3 bedrooms and 2 baths) but feels like a mansion inside, and our California ranch house really is large (about 4,000 sf with 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, formal dining room and a kitchen with subzero dual fridge, 2 sinks, and Viking appliances like you see on MTV cribs), but it feels like a small apartment with low ceilings and cheap architecture. The floorplan is crazy; you can't put any furniture anywhere that it doesn't look wrong. I like the newer little house better! All the furniture fits nicely where it belongs, and you can walk around the house easily without falling over a couch that "belongs" in the middle of the room due to the walls being all-windows or other reasons there can't be furniture there.
