Original Playstation 2 in 2024!

[@mr.electronx9036]

I regret selling my PS2 back in 2008. It was in perfect condition and very clean. The build in DVD Player was "the" latest and greatest. Kids don't understand today, how freaking cool it was, back then to have a DVD Player. And the coolest thing was to invite your best Friends and play some couch coop games and watch some DVD Movies. The best part of the 6th gen consoles is, each one was unique and special. What a magical time...

[@SpongeyBubby]

Some kids today don’t even know what a DVD is 😔😤 I sound old even though I recently turned 18.

[@markusmitchell8585]

​@@SpongeyBubbyOK bro that's BS everyone knows what a DVD is

I got components way better with that it got the pixel blur old av on hdmi tvs way cleaner with components and got bluetooth i play with dualshock 4 or xbox on ps2 and use fmcb / hdd extrenal or internal . Love ps2 and ps3

[@TehnoDisco]

In 2021 I started to gather childhood memories by buying a PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 console alongside the games I used to play with my best friend. Now I've got almost every game that I used to play or remeber from early 2000s. We also experience those memories time to time by playing those games. Thanks for the video.

[@TehnoDisco]

Here's a big portion of my collection: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Y1vH_PvLfFR2mmIaJrMp3k6DxpGYwyum?usp=share_link

[@Just_TomUK]

That’s an impressive collection! I love nodding back to the past. It’s comforting. I prefer the older titles overall as most of the newer stuff lacks the soul that the older games had. Glad you liked the video thank you 🙂

[@mr.electronx9036]

Oh i loved couch coop. bought extra 3 controllers to play with my friends... we had even lan parties with multiple consoles and tv's...played gran turismo a lot good old times dude

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

The PS2 Slim, original Xbox, Gamecube, and N64 are the only consoles I own/play. And I invested in mint condition ones. The games were just better, better stories, better experience, more challenging. And just different. I have a nice PC for when I want to play a modern title, but that is not often. Currently playing through Resident Evil Outbreak on PS2. I just cannot get over how great these old games were. I hope there is a comeback for these consoles and many of us try our best to preserve them and the games. If I ever have kids one day, these will be the only consoles and games I introduce them to.

[@squidwardtentacles2736]

the RE Outbreak games were some of the best looking for their generation, its crazy. closer to a lower ps3 quality if you ask me.

[@ChrisThePlayer777]

Such a legendary and sexy console

[@Just_TomUK]

True that 💙

[@Just_TomUK]

How did it look? I’m expecting a few dust bunny’s in mine😂

[@cemsengul16]

Yeah I cleaned all my PlayStation consoles and repasted my PS3 and PS4. They deserve the maintenance.

[@raymorin7726]

The options with the disk speed are for playing ps1 games you can load them faster and smooth out textures

[@PrezidentHughes]

I had the original PS. So it took me a long time to move on to PS2 (you know how some parents are). Finally got a Slim when I left school and was working. Life moves on, I moved away. Recently found my Slim. I'm about to resurrect it very soon. Hopefully it still works properly. When I tried to dust it off a few years ago the disc was not spinning. It seems to be now 🤷🏾‍♂️. Just have to get one of those HDMI adapters and hopefully my 2021 Panasonic TV can do enough upscaling and other processing to salvage the early 00s graphics.

[@michaelhinton6239]

Just got a PS2 that was giving to me as a gift, love playing the old game consoles, bring back great childhood memories

[@TJHDUK]

God I remember this thing. I miss playing Driv3r and Vice City so bad. Great vid my guy

[@Just_TomUK]

I have Driver It was so fun, and I got vice city from my dad as he stopped playing his. Thank you!

[@thehiddencode5686]

We don't know what we have until we lose it. I'm pretty sure many of use regret selling our onsoles in the past. Today, I bought one of these again in excellent contidion.

[@iidragonflyiiAnimations]

The PS2 is one of my all time favorite consoles along with the Wii, I really love playing games like Resident Evil 4, Darkwatch, God of War 1 and 2, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, Soul Calibur 2 and 3, and more

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

RE4 was a beast of a game! Loved it. I loved Manhunt 1 & 2, PacMan world, Silent Hill 2, Bully, and Starwars Battlefront the best. I bet between those titles I have over 1,000 hours logged haha.

[@codywebster5815]

Try silent hill 2

[@iidragonflyiiAnimations]

@@codywebster5815 I will

[@gtjaaa5551]

Yeah soul calibur 2 was amazing to me personally my love was definitely for all the old Naruto and dragon ball z games in the ps2 also the old 2ks and the street ones also many more honestly

[@cryptocsguy9282]

I didn't even know the ps2 had all those settings allowing you change the drive speed & textures 😮. Dunno how much difference that makes

[@NostalgicRush]

What’s the background music in the intro btw it’s so peaceful 🥹

[@1984Cece]

I sold my it in 2008 and got it in 2022 again. I am very happy to have it again.

[@cryptocsguy9282]

I miss the days of playing ps2 at home & at the after school club 😢 😪 😕 😭😭, tekken 4 , 5 , disney extreme skate adventure, tom & jerry war of the whiskers, destroy all humans ❤😍

[@apap1586]

I'm still happy my NES and SNES are still running.. I have those on a CRT

[@alexfernandez7529]

I came out pf Video game retirement after taking a 2 year break. I have 3 boys and we have quite a few consoles and a Gaming PC’. I mostly Watch them play games. I decides to bring out my PS2 out of retirement. I took it apart to clean the CD-ROM player. Still having trouble loading a few games. May sure to get a Retofighter wireless controller. Work great with the PS2, PC’s, Nintendo switch and emulator boxes. I just ordered a PS2 2TB HDD. Planning on loading up PS1 and PS2 games. That way I can preserve my disc library. One pf my boys plays the Electric Guitar and has never played any GH games. I have repaired the Kramer but GH2 has some serious issues with glitches, music sync and some song just won’t play. My GH3 won’t load anything. Im hoping the HDD will help and allow us to have some family fun.

[@Just_TomUK]

That’s awesome to hear. I plan to get this one cleaned up, put a Hard drive in maybe and change the fan. Plus some general cleaning inside also. Yeah I found a couple used GH3 kramers online but they’re all terrible condition, (rusted battery bays etc) so I’m yet to find a bundle for the PS2.

[@hovermotion]

The Stunning ps2 what a leap from the ps1...I still have my launch model and the slim versions. My original still works perfectly, now I use a hdmi adapter...

[@baccarah7010]

As a child my grandparents had a PS2, for some reason. My grandparents lived far away and this was "no internet access"-life so getting to play this kinda amazing/scary/limitless seeming console I knew nothing about was really magical. Now I can buy my own things but am adult enough to not be able to enjoy games anymore really so fuck me then but anyways I love this thing

[@paulspopculture5592]

Still got my original PS2 from when it came out I play a lot of vertical shooters steel dragon is a favourite I played a lot of boulders gate on it back in the day ghost hunter was great as well

[@blackhatter1980]

i still say it is the best looking console Sony ever made

[@trytrading4103]

you bringing back memories, omg. i miss playstation 2

[@crypt0sFX]

Still have mine from when I was a pup, this makes me want to plug it back in and play batman.

[@javietesparza7451]

One of my greatest console of all time back of late 2000 I was 7yrs old and wanted so badly of this PS2 original fat model good memories back of my days

[@Wobble2007]

"we had to wait for our games back in the day", nowhere near as much as we do now, just trying to get a quick 10 mins of gaming in can be impossible now sometimes with modern consoles, thanks to updates/DLC/downloads and goodness know what else. I miss being able to fire a game up in seconds on the GC/XB/DC/N64/Etc, sure the PS2 had a bit of loading time for some games, but no more than 30-45 seconds, the Xbox OG had quicker load times and the GameCube had almost instant load speeds. I remember sometimes waiting quite a bit on PC though, for the game to install, or it might've had a patch to install and DL, that was the biggest pro/advantage with consoles over PC gaming back in the day, now PC games are actually quicker to boot and DL than their console counterparts lol.

[@jayripp84]

Almost made me tear up cause I wish I could go back to them times

[@Rustyorange725]

Still own my original ps1 and ps2

[@chickenwings6172]

PS2 have been going up in price especially the fat ps2. I have a day one original fat ps2, i was 20 when the PS2 launched I also got the xbox with dead or alive 3 and Halo. You know you can use a PS3 component cables which is 1080P. I got the bouncer and ATV offroad fury and FFX a little later.

[@silverwah]

Compoment only goes up to 1080i in a handfull of games for your information. 95% of the library relies on 480i, 480p if you're lucky.

[@Jinkyuu1999]

It's no wonder a few weeks back I went to my local Gamexchange and they never have any PS2 available! I was glad I still have my PS2 fat from 2003 and she still kicking it!

[@miguelhxrnandez]

@@silverwahyou can use GSM to upscale to 1080i 480p 720p. Makes a big difference and works in all of my games. Composite is the worst way to play the ps2 as 480i makes the graphics terrible. Component cables with GSM is like seeing for the first time again. It is just that good.

[@louisfernandezleija69]

My cousin from ATL gave me his ps2 back in 2015 n I still use the fuck out of it. So many games, a lot of variety and tons of fun bro. I recently bought an HDMI converter and it makes it look so beautiful. My top games would be We

[@jasoncrouzat7509]

I still have ps2 as wall ps3 psp i stared wish a ps1 they loved today.

[@mrterrychaos]

Games looked better on PS2 back in the day thanks to how CRT screens presented the visuals. I'd love to get a CRT again but it's just impractical for many reasons.

[@SpringBlossomGames]

I love ps2 console so much it bring back memories! 💖

[@MySplatterhouse]

I still remember buying the PS2 day one with Oni and Orphen Scion of Sorcery , dang those were the days!!! 👍🏿👍🏿

[@Laz3rCat95]

Local multiplayer/party games are not entirely gone though. Yeah they're perhaps not as common as they once were but the Nintendo Switch still supports several such games. As for your questions at the end, I also played a PS2 during that era. I had a PS1 actually for a while first, then got the PS2 a couple years later. Some of the games I played the most at the time were Digimon games like Digimon World and Rumble Arena, Gex and Sly Cooper. And for other consoles I mainly played GBA for handheld gaming and I also played Windows PC games. Sometimes I would play N64 or GameCube with my siblings/friends who had those, but not very often.

[@Just_TomUK]

The likes of Buzz!, Singstar, Rockband and Guitar Hero alongside other of the genres have dissipated sadly

[@Laz3rCat95]

Yeah those titles are gone, and I do agree party games overall not as common or popular as they once were but at least we still have games like 1-2 Switch, Super Mario Party, Just Dance, etc. @@Just_TomUK

I have been playing my PS2 a lot lately because I hate modern games. Fatal Frame and Silent Hill games are awesome. I think I need to get myself an old CRT television because it is not the same playing on an HDTV.

That’s an investment that’s wise! I would have a CRT if I wasn’t limited by space, that’s a good shout 👍🏼

[@MarkyV83]

PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, GameCube and Xbox. What a great generation of consoles. Personally, the PS2 was my least favourite out of the 4, I felt it had an unfair advantage at the begining due to it riding on the success of the PSOne and it's DVD support, and it contributed to the Dreamcast's downfall which were releasing some amazing gaming experiences in its 2 short years on the market. My opinion is not to take away the fact that eventually it was home to some amazing titles despite it's limited performance compared to its competition. Ridge Racer V, MGS2 & 3, GTA 3, Gran Turismo 4, Ratchet and Clank etc were amazing games. All 4 consoles were great.
