I bought a SNES mini back when they came out.

u/fattynuggetz Mar 26 '23

SNES is my favorite. Genesis is pretty close though.

1

u/Just_a_guy81 Mar 26 '23

I had a genesis when I was a kid. They had marketed it for older teenagers and young adults. I thought I was hot shit for having one

1

u/fattynuggetz Mar 27 '23

yeah sega's marketing team did a good job. i wasn't alive during the time, but i've seen the ads for it, and know the impact it made.

u/sitrucj Mar 26 '23

I came here for this comment, I didn’t realize they STILL do dvds. Are they by mail or Redbox style?

3

u/gadget850 Mar 26 '23

Delivery. They made $200 million from DVD rentals in 2021. I have customers with crap Internet who rent.

u/General-Book4680 Mar 26 '23

u/InitiativeShot20 Mar 26 '23

Some millenials have seen Beta-max vs VHS, LaserDisc vs CD and Blu-Ray vs HD.

3

u/BaobabSenziente Mar 26 '23

u/ImaDufis_13 Mar 26 '23

who the fuck made this because not only do I know a millennial how has this I'm gen z and I HAVE ONE TWO

2

u/Scrimmy_Bingus2 Mar 26 '23

I think “millenium babies” is supposed to refer to people born after 2000, not millennials.

1

u/FakeBenson Mar 26 '23

One fun thing about this is most boomers didn't have a CD case full of dvds. They didn't get the tech or something and they avoided collecting disks. I knew a lot of them that had dvds that were never opened. Saving them like good china. The people that mainly had this aweful cloth file of summer blockbusters were millennials.

1

u/Alexander_Cancelin Mar 26 '23

Guys it’s about millennium babies, not millennials, so babies born in the year 2000 such as my self. That being said I definitely had like three of these so still a bad meme.

0

u/MunchkinTime69420 Mar 26 '23

They did say millennium which would most likely refer to the year 2000 so they may say that anyone born in 200 and after don't know what that is

0

u/Infiltered-contenter Mar 26 '23

A millennium is like a thousand years or more as well…

1

u/HyacinthFT Mar 26 '23

Netflix literally was a rent-by-mail model before it went to streaming, but they wouldnt let you keep the DVDs. So it took me a while to understand what was going on here.

1

u/troly_mctrollface Mar 26 '23

As a middle millennial, I had Netflix when they mailed you dvds and even remember using videotapes.

u/Locksley_1989 Mar 26 '23

1

u/Kcapsmodder Mar 26 '23

I understand just fine thank you.

1

u/KenseiHimura Mar 26 '23

Idiots forgot all about Blockbuster. And Hollywood video. The games we rented from there. So many lovely memories…

1

u/AdditionKooky122 Mar 26 '23

Even crazy to think Netflix started as a by mail service

1

u/Boneal171 Mar 26 '23

u/No-Wonder1139 Mar 27 '23

Millenials, the ones who were nearly adults when DVDs came to market, don't know what dvd sleeves are?

1

u/gwumpyyguts Mar 27 '23

21 and grew up with those recorded dvds from a family member and Netflix dvds, the people who make these "memes" aren't special

1

u/Valk_spamner Mar 27 '23

They do realize that most of us (millennials) are in our 30s right?

1

u/Vocorus Mar 27 '23
