A Mod Real Quick
I still use a 40 inch tv.... LG LED. I guess I am below your standards since I don't have it in my kitchen and a 600 inch in my living room. Probably not going to upgrade until I get a house, priorities for me.
The Slims have 0 backwards compatibility. You can play the PSN ones but not disc-based.Every PS3 can play PS1 games.
Why do I have to do this workaround? It should work as intended.PS Network is slammed and people are having problems getting the required firmware update. Here is the link to put it on a USB.

You don't have to. You can try to download it through your PS4 while the servers are hammered and possibly time out several times or you can just download it now.Why do I have to do this workaround? It should work as intended.
Because of viewing distance and people that live in small apartments? Some people don't have a need for a 55"+ when their couch is 7 feet away from the thing.Who has a 40" TV in this day and age though? Christ - my KITCHEN TV that is getting ready to go to the dumpster Black Friday is a 40"... Our real TV's start at 51" minimum.... and I'm a bargain shopper when it comes to TVs...
True, guess depending on where you're at a 40" might get by. I'm really used to small rooms being at least 12" on their short side... and looking at apartments recently (if we head to FL it's gonna be an apartment, screw being on the tab for hurricane issues if the insurance company screw around like they did up here for our hurricane a couple years ago...) that does seem like it's a rarity.I still use a 40 inch tv....

I wrote a reply about how I was confused and how you were wrong so i looked it up. I've had my slim for 4 or 5 years now and never had any clue you could play PS1 games. I knew it couldnt play PS2 games, so I just figured.PS1games.
Really? My first PS1 games I tried on my slim didn't work... gave them away assuming they wouldn't ever work, don't recall if I checked if they were damaged though... ah well, got them all via PSN since anyhow.PS1games.
No offense taken, I (and assume most) have had no reason to upgrade. When I do upgrade, it'll be big.. but for now I'm good.True, guess depending on where you're at a 40" might get by.

Didn't mean it offensively, just that 51"+ have been so affordable recently its a bit surprising to me that many would opt against them.
thank you. but I wasn't being seriousYou don't have to. You can try to download it through your PS4 while the servers are hammered and possibly time out several times or you can just download it now.
To be fair though Sean, those THX figures are borderline to me, I've used it before and with my awesome eyes its hard to distinguish differences (although possible, but you've gotta really focus on it) at the ranges they talk about for SMPTE - I used them as a guideline when I bought as well for setting up my seating, but I can only imagine someone with 30/20 or something being having much more leeway since it really seems those figures are geared towards PERFECT vision.You actually should be sitting at about 7 feet away from a 55", even according to the site you linked.
7.5 Feet is the maximum for a 55" according to SMPTE viewing angle calculations. For THX, the recommended on a 55" is 6.1 feet.

I will say though with the PS4's extra power, you are gonna miss out on it for the forseeable future though, unless you've pretty much got your nose on the TV though - since 720 vs 1080 is such a small difference on that size. But when that day comes you'll be able to fully appreciate it.No offense taken, I (and assume most) have had no reason to upgrade. When I do upgrade, it'll be big.. but for now I'm good.
Stop trolling or I'll be forced to thrash you.thank you. but I wasn't being serious![]()
