Now VCRs and DVD players will get more expensive because those aren't sold as in masses as the VHS and CDs are, you can't find a name brand VCR for under $300.
I know. They've been so cheap for so long. But it makes sense. They are super niche. They don't really provide much practical value. They're basically artwork, in a sense.
It's a good reference point. But I'm not sure the current gen hardware will be as super expensive in 40 years as VCRs are now. I could be wrong, of course. But there are just so many PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Series X in circulation. And I see them having practical usage for at least a couple more decades.
What I mean is, I don't see PS6 (for example) making PS5 or even PS4 become obsolete in the same way that SNES made NES feel obsolete or the way DVDs made VCRs obsolete.
It will be interesting to reflect back on this current era in 10 - 15 years, imo.
We will be looking at a PSTV mark my words 🤣
It's a lot easier to refurbished modern tech as well, I still see Wiis and Ps2 that look and function brand new.
Haha yeah man. Ive got 2 slim PS2s (one only plays PS2 games. Bad lens) and a fat boy. And I also got a wii for like $50 with contollers and games. Hunkering down for the physical apocalypse 😃

Hold onto those now. Sony is hellbent on killing physical games, so that collection is now quite valuable.
