Isn't Harry a little young to have played Fate/Stay Night, both in the sense of it being a Japanese porno game not suitable for 11-year-olds and it not having been made yet when the story is set?
EDIT: Clearly this is intended as a hint that he has the time-traveling adult Voldemort's memories implanted in him.
According to canon, the original PlayStation was available in 1993. So if certain electronic media are available earlier in the MoR universe, it's only a slight embellishment of an existing canon discrepancy.
What canon? The original PS came out in December 1994.
Rowling made a mistake and gave Dudley a PS in 1993.
I am totally using that as my rejoinder there - "If Dudley can get a Playstation in 1993, clearly Playstations are timeless in canon."
Wait, you can violate the six-hour limit on backward movement of information with Playstations?
Does that mean the Department of Mysteries has a Playstation department?
plots evilly
No, no, the sand in the Time-Turners' hourglasses is made of ground-up Playstations.
I don't think that would actually make sand, it must be the game-discs.
This brings to mind the scratched game CD in Homestuck.
Presumably Sega is the only organization with the power to stop PS from taking over the world, hence their constant warfare in Megatokyo.
