Just for the sake of memory, I was playing with my old, dusty Ps1 yesterday (it barely works...but works), and I had a strange idea: with the modern emphasis on DLCs, pre-order, multiplayer and all sort of "extra" things... how will we play those modern games in 10 years? In a world of PS4 and XBOX One (or maybe the next version of them), what will happen when we'll find our "old" ps3/360 in a dusty place in our house, and we'll try to play some games (or hunt them down in the nearest retrogame store)?

Multiplayer: gone for sure... too bad for those games who are made mostly for multiplayer action

Trophies/achievements: they will still work? And what about online trophies?

dlc/preorder contents: lost forever (if the game lacks a "complete edition")? I have Assassin creed II that still mocks me because "we have a memory we can't reach [AKA: it's a DLC], do you want to upgrade the Animus? [AKA: buy the DLC or get out]", 10 year from now it will be impossible to reach 100% with that copy...

I'm not talking about "DLC/multiplayer are good/bad", but the fact that now I have some PS1-PS2 games that I can play (and reach 100% of the experience) every time I want... will it be possible with my ps3 games in the future?

Remember that a lot of Xbox games were built around online, so when that went, a whole lot features went with it. BUT you still have really good Xbox exclusives that were great offline like Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Jade Empire, Soldier of Fortune 2, KOTOR and PGR2. I'm sure it will be the same for my 360, Alan Wake or whatever will be just as good offline as it is today. I don't really play online anyway.

Been wanting to try these but don't feel like buying an XBOX, shame I left mine in Mexico a few years back.

Still possible to play XBOX online, there's also another app called Xlink Kai.
