Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
One of the best consoles ever made IMO. I remember when my older brother got our PS2 about a year after its release. The only games we had at that time was GTA 3 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. We didn't have a memory card for a few weeks so we had to keep our PS2 on so we wouldn't lose our progress on the games. Ah, the memories of going to Blockbuster every other Friday to rent games. I kind of miss that.

Having both the original Xbox and PS2 was great and its still the only console generation where I had consoles from different companies.

Our PS2 model eventually stopped reading discs years after we got it and I got the Slim model which still works today along with 3 memory cards to hold all the memory for the games. Remember when 8mb was a lot? That's completely dwarfed by what we have today.

I never played PS2. I was too busy with N64, Gamecube, PC and Xbox.

Probably my most-played console ever, and the system that catapulted me into the stereotypical no-life "gamer" I am today. I had only played the NES and SNES prior to it, so the graphical jump was quite astonishing.

If Sony actually cared about making money, they'd just do what Nintendo did and make a nostalgia version of the PS2, or just make a PS4 that was backwards-compatible with PS2 discs.

PS Now is bullshit. I would love for the PS4 to be able to play PS2 games because I'm a lazy fuck who doesn't want to get up and plug his PS2 in.

My PS2 finally bricked itself and wont read any discs. So my options are either spend the money to repair it, or just buy a new one for the same price. I don't have a problem in either options because the console is worth it.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Thread hijacking 'cos related.

PSN Store just pinned up this classic, upscaled for PS4 (although it says "Out Now", it isn't... yet)

Why have that when we can instead have re-releases of games which have unneeded trophy support and HD textures?
