Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be

I think that's a ps3 to the left of the TV
I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There's also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don't doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s

I just took this photo. Is my setup next level? I RGB modded the Sony if it helps. -

It’s definitely a record player and not a PS3

Twenty-seven years ago that 27 inch TV was huge!
Those TVs were in a lot of middle class homes. I think huge is pretty exaggerated. Having a house on the block with those 4 person 40-50 in TV's was pretty common in a lot of areas IMO.

Now most people need massive TVs, but still spend most of the time looking at the small screen on the phone.
Because unless you're buying a quality panel the difference between a 45 inch and 65 is usually $150. For something that you need 3 or 4 of (tops, if you have a family or large house) that'll last 5+ years, the value proposition is high enough to spend the extra money.

They weren’t huge at all. They were huge for that day.
Sure there was 40+ inch tvs if you were willing to shell out 10k plus.

Not that expensive at all.
In the 90s you could get a 40in for maybe like $500.

Thrift stores couldn't sell those cabinets 10 years ago and now they won't take them at all.

Also yes.

I’m old enough to remember when this was peak entertainment technology.

$500 in the 90s would be equivalent to around $1000 today. That's a very expensive TV and more than I've spent on displays in total across my adult life (which includes some nice IPS computer displays)

It still is next level. Modern setups aren't nearly as cool. TVs mounted to the wall, game consoles on the floor, and who even has a dedicated stereo system anymore?

No Saturn?

I've got one at my son's place we need to get rid of. I probably should just get the sawzall and have him dispose over time

They're hilariously worthless for anything but the original purpose. And that's from a guy who repurposes crap off the side of the road every week.
Even if they're real wood, the dimensions are useless. Maybe it could be chopped into a couple of tiny plant stands? LOL, now you got me thinking what I could do! Still, haven't found a use for them after all these years.

Haha I have this setup to this day.
I use it for my regular Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

Have you softmodded the PS1 to accept backups? There's a disc you can burn that if you do the swap trick with it it will configure a memory card to be used to load backups
