If somehow someone sent you a Playstation 3, 20 years ago

[nakedfrog]

Man, my Nintendo blew my mind when I was playing Zelda and Metroid, I can't imagine what I would have thought of a PS3.

hahahaah...

it's like saying, someone in the future send me an Octacore Intel Pentium 8. even with the motherboards, ram, and PCI-express-3.0 video card, Operating system that would run it, and games that could play on it and take advantage of the architectual benefit. they would be no use. I can't play multiplayer with anyone if i am the only one with Quake 10

I find it hard to believe that everyone that responded to this thread was cognitive enough to do what they are saying 20 years ago. As for me, when I was 5 years old, I mostly enjoyed playing in the mud, and didn't have much knowledge/respect for electronics.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Build Skynet.

 

[mjrpes3]

I would sell it to the U.S.S.R. for nuclear testing, with the hope that the Cold War would extend into the 21st century.

 

[mobobuff]

I would be two years old, and would probably just ignore it and go play with blocks.

[sonambulo]

P!ss and moan about GTA IV being 21 years away, probably.

I would claim I built it and wait for the cheesy "young genius" movie scripts to be written about me, star in them, and become a famous actor. Then, being rich and famous, I would grow up and totally pork Jessica Biel last year.

Well, DUH, but people could pretty easily infer how to use it given the similarity.

 

[LtPage1]

I'd make a video of me playing some of the prettiest games on it, send copies to every major corporation in the PC business, and start the bidding war.

 

[rudder]

Sell it to the defense department for eleventy billion dollars.

Ditto. Imagine the technology we'd have today if something like that was out 20 years ago..

Imagine what our kids are gonna see.

You know....besides World War 3rd.

I used to have dreams like this.

It's 2000 years ago. I'm standing in the town center of a beautiful, serene village that is 5 minutes away from being torn down & pillaged by rampaging hordes. I stand tall, smoke a cigarette, give a gut-wrenching speech to my townspeople in a language they don't understand and pick up my BFG9000....

i used to have dreams about being at the battle of hastings with a JCB that had a couple of those guns from a A-10 attached.

a JCB with guns and rockets lol! what the hell was i smoking.

 

[habib89]

definately sell it

Exactly what I was thinking

Imagine the phone call to Bill Gates: "Well... it's really good at Folding@Home... crap, that won't exist for years. Um... want to see the James Bond movie of the future?"

 

[loup garou]

Do you work for Sony? Is this the new plan to get rid of all those unsold PS3s?

 

[UberNeuman]

I'd destroy it. You wouldn't be a free person very long when discovered with this advanced technology....
