Apologies for the artefacting... been having some issues with Corel VideoStudio

[@peterparker6584]

I don't know how to direct message somebody on KZbin so hopefully this will reach you.add little 8-bit graphic of Indiana Jones running from villagers here carrying something large and strange looking. i found something weird old Brown heavy and eBay has failed me! Cording to eBay it doesn't exist. a Techtran ndustries inc 950 micro disc .referring to this unit as a micro disc is laughable the thing is the size of a breadbox and I can barely lift it. It's a floppy disk drive that much I do know it has switches all over it one on the front three more on the back and a rotary dial switch apparently it was made in the USA I'm looking at I'd say roughly the 1970s given its design you could literally bludgeon somebody to death with this thing with no problem and do Avelino damage to it. I'm looking for some information on the unit to better allow me to list it on eBay kind of what I do is selling vintage technology anything from record players computers radios videogame systems basically if it's electrical and old I've probably listed one on eBay more commonly I end up with weird computer stuff but I've never come across anything that I could easy list and identify. I've got a bizarre little portable television/VCR LCD briefcase unit that I've been meaning to bring to your attention that might be of interest given the kind of videos that you do. If you can imagine something the size of a briefcase with the words LCD on it and it's a VCR with a flip up screen that is barely able to be lifted. Again that unit is from the mid-80s so it makes me question how it's LCD on a top load VCR lol.if you can help me out with listing this disk drive that would be appreciated maybe you know somebody that can use it more or less it looks to be an old 8088 disk drive for a IBM mounted in a July Norma's case but I want to make sure I list it properly. You'd be surprised how many times I've help somebody track down some piece of weird hardware from the 1970s that were over in Germany or something like that restoring some old machine. Thank you for your time.

well if it was only intended to use up old PS2 stock, of course they're not going to start releasing lots of them. Nor would they release it in areas that don't have a glut of the consoles to scavenge for this stuff... A pity I guess....

I have one of the fat models that I was able to get off a con artist by trading him an smartphone lying around the house. Currently in the middle of Final Fantasy 10 and Kingdom Hearts. Both great series! Keep up the good work! I enjoy the content epically since I'm an America who enjoys looking at the British perspective of gaming! It just fascinates me!

A 4K 60 inch Sony Bravia and it even came with a pair of PS4 pads... unfortunately I was duped and its an Android TV with a nVidia shield type spec and access to the PSN store... not bad, but not exactly the same fuzzy warmth you would get from this bad boy!

Man, it’s so strange how such an unknown thing was so good back in the day, both in terms of price and usefulness.

[@Megaspartan23]

I'd like to see Sony make a PS2 console, with a HDMI output and up-scaling, several built-in games and the option to play disks from the PS1 and PS2, a memory card slot, and a hard-drive to save the games and install them for faster load times. If Sega can allow the MegaDrive to be re-released over and over again (with a degree of success), I don't see why Sony can't give it a try.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

[@foeof]

When the Xbox loading screen came up I was like WTF?! lol Great job

[@AntoKyuuketsuki]

In today's standard, this would make a pretty decent PC monitor with the addition of a PS2 for those of us who still enjoy SONY's 18 year old console instead of playing an emulator. One aspect of using this as a PC monitor and PS2 simultaneously, is the ease of not having to travel far with those burnt disc's or USB drives (SwapMagic/MCboot users). 😎

This could have been the ultimate PS2 machine worldwide and the best send-off to the best system Sony has ever produced and sold. But no, Sony decided to sell it only in UK.

I used to be so smug as an American when it came to video game releases. I would laud it over my friends in the UK that I was getting releases earlier, and in some cases, at all. Then this came out over there, and I felt a crushing sense of despair when I knew that even if I got one, I wouldn't be able to play any games on it. Hope you treat it with TLC.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

A PAL PS2 will play NTSC discs, as long as they are region 2 or 0. PS2s in Europe were built to support both formats, since some games had NTSC mode.

[@Kai-io6jn]

yes you can play ntsc discs when you put an DVDX region key memory card in your ps2 and insert the corosponding setup disc then you can choose ever region from 1-9. I myself got one and it works just fine.

[@atomicspacewizard]

It's weird they didn't integrate it into the display instead of slapping a TV on top of a system

[@billyjbryant]

The tv is the stock Sony Bravia 22BX300 which is just a 22" 720p TV with a very basic stand integrated. The PS2 components were most likely from the SCPH-9000x release (2008) which is the release of the PS2 Slim that disabled the "Boot from Memory Card" exploit. As all they needed to do was re-tool the casing for the playstation a bit and run soldered in cables up the "stalk" of the base, I'm pretty sure this was just an easy way to get rid of stock without having to fully design a new tv casing and support system. Frugal and convenient. The fact that the PS2 doesn't even turn on at the same time as the TV indicates that their circuitry is 100% isolated thus all they really did was slam a ps2 in the base of the tv and run cables from one mainboard to the other, oh and a software switch for PS2 power so it could be turned on by the remote ;)

Some other models of non-PS2 equipped Bravia TVs also had the XMB menu too, we have a 2010-era one at work that's remarkably similar to this, but without the console stuck to it.

You know what? I really want one. I live in the US, and want a TV that would accept both NTSC and PAL, and de-interlace them quickly. This TV seems to be BUILT for that. Damn I jelly.

With Gran Tourismo 4 you brought back old memories! OMG.!!!!!

Gran turismo machine and a tv at once! Amazing and i want one

Seeing you cover sixth-gen hardware makes me miss my other consoles. Used to have quite a lot, back then. But after being hit with financial struggles, I'm just down to my 3DS and Mega Drive. Hoping to get a Nintendo Switch after I graduate from college.

I had a crt with a dvd player built into it when I was around 4-6 years old. I even had a VHS. Bear in mind I was born in 2001. LCD tvs where out in those times. It was awesome having a VHS. I might have to get one for nostalgia reasons

Great vid, as always. It’s great when you have a bit of fun with it.

Oh No! Around 7:13 there's an encoding error. Nonetheless, a fantastic and informative video. Great job

[@Soullesscat]

I always wanted to get my hands on one of those. Thank you for the review.

Wow what an awesome little piece of tech!

[@heavenlyshifted6088]

Do they even sell these things online? Amazon doesn't have it...im guessing it's super expensive just curious! It's pretty awesome man! New subscriber!! I dig it!

[@PuntoHowto]

I have one of these, it’s currently plugged into my laptop as a second monitor when video editing, being only £200 and a smart tv and having a stack of PS2 games laying about it would have been stupid not to get it!! The quality of the tv is still very good despite only being 720p
