End of the Road for GT4

[Rocker]

- Obituary -

Passing this week is 65" Sony WS500, affectionately known as "The Big Screen". He was well liked by his many co-workers, including PS2, Logitech G25, VCR, Yamaha Receiver, Samsung DVD, and Family Entertainment PC Clone. There had been quite a bit of speculation about Big Screen being "connected" to some nefarious outside organization as well, but these speculations are moot now. Big Screen lies in estate, at home, until final arrangements can be made.

Big Screen had been in perfect health up until last year, tirelessly working nearly every day, especially with his coworker PS2, on project known as GT4. He began struggling with some age-related issues last winter, and after a major surgery 8 months ago, finally succumbed to natural causes on Friday.

There are no surviving family members.

This topic might be better placed in the Rumble Strip? It doesn't have much to do with GT4; it's more about your big-screen TV passing on. But on-topic: My TV is still the big old Panasonic I've had for years. It's over 20 years old at this point, but I love its color settings. It's in stereo, too. 👍

Same goes with my PS2. 6 years old now and still going strong.

I don't get this thread.Your talking about a TV?This has got nothing to do with Gran Turismo 4

What he's saying is, He can't play GT4 anymore because his TV broke.

^ Right, I get that. But it's still more about the TV than the game itself. Whateva...

Your point is well taken.

Mainly, I'm just sharing the fact that alas, I will not be able to complete my 80 golds quest. At least I was able to finish M34 & 100%, 300mph club etc., 👍

I thought the way I expressed it would be of some entertainment value, if not, oh well.

Gotch beat. 1982, Color console. One of the big wooden cabinet things. Like yours, great sound.

The TV has gone but the memories remain.
