[@tommydplayskeys]

Hit me up, I just got a PS3 recently :)

[@larssawatzki1538]

C'mon share your secret wisdom 'bout the world's best console so far.

[@pinkflamingo5972]

Do it please

[@michaelcalvin42]

I was expecting the usual "X facts you don't know" clickbait when this rolled through my feed, but I actually learned a few new facts, and it was quite entertaining. I would definitely be down for a PS3 facts video.

[@jadedtiger00]

yes, yes i would like facts about PS3

Whats the expansion bay for? Stoners: Hide ur weed lol Normal person: Its for a Hard Drive Mr. PS2 on his wedding night :😏😘😈

[@dumbstruckempire]

I like all of these answers honestly

[@RusticRonnie]

The only thing I have ever seem in it is the ethernet connection.

[@HinkHall]

@@RusticRonniethat’s what gave it the hard drive capability

[@bound2thefloor1]

Love that SNL sketch.

[@AdamRaven85]

Haha i am literally watching this video on the bravia tv with ps2 in the base! I got it for a bargain £25 back in 2013! Now it sits pride and place as my pc monitor

[@AdamRaven85]

Good lord, id happily sell mine for £350 haha!

[@dumbstruckempire]

That's really, really neat.

[@Paradigmfusion]

Heres one, when it first launched many bought it just as a standalone dvd player because it was cheaper than many players were at the time (my grandparents were a prime example, it was only used for games whenever we came around)

[@stashmerkin9576]

Someone else has heard of the Rez vibrator! It's the only game I know that has a sex toy accessory. The original advertising claimed that it came with a storage pouch that was washable. They knew what they were doing.

[@AnimeBrosAMV]

Delete animations was something we all probably saw as kids but overlooked those small details.

[@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad]

I loved those.

[@michaelcalvin42]

I miss the PS2 3D icons. Modern console UIs lack the personality and charm of the early 3D days.

[@pharmcat8484]

The vulture art is getting more impressive every week.

[@dumbstruckempire]

Yeah it is!

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

One small misinfo here. The PS2 didn't beat them "all" to crossplay gaming. Dreamcast did it first with PCs and Quake 3 Arena, and with the PS2 and PCs with Unreal Tournament. Still a great feature though, modern console gamers think it's a new revelation but far from it.

[@CulturedVultures]

watch the whole entry! lol by "all" we mean the last generation and games we just mentioned

[@Railgun18]

The Sega Saturn controller for the ps2 actually makes sense. The Saturn controller was GREAT for fighting games, and for those you don't need an analog controller on the ps2 so...

[@fr4ctl]

You can get a 3rd party screen that connects to (and is powered by) the PS2.

[@DoobyShoo]

the ff7 lofi is just amazing idk why

[@OU773HGaming]

I remember seeing pictures of Halo in a magazine I owned back in the day. Wish I kept my old stuff now 😂

[@ThatMetalheadMan]

The irony of my first PS2 getting disc read errors on anything DVD, from DVD-ROM games to DVD movies, but was able to read anything on CD discs without issue, which included only one PS2 game I had out of 3 at the time and my entire PS1 library.

[@frankbrodie5168]

I swear I heard that the FFXI platform cross-play was the first of it's kind for ANY game? There's rumblings in the darkest recesses of my memory that it was in the Guinness Book of Records for that exact feat?

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

Not exactly, Quake 3 Arena on Dreamcast was a crossplay enabled game before this, and Unreal Tournament also was crossplay enabled between PC x Dreamcast and PS2. Final Fantasy was nowhere near first to do it.

[@dumbstruckempire]

Didn't know about the PSP thing! Very cool!

[@afewspokesloose2699]

PS2 games came on dual layer DVDs too, up to 8.5GB. You only mentioned the single layer size.

[@pharmcat8484]

I remember that PS2 military use rumor. Around my area it was Saddam Hussein replacing the computers in Iraqi fighter jets with PS2s.

[@pharmcat8484]

About as believable as US troops having to wear dresses to be more inclusive.

[@F1ghtGam3r]

I still have my ps2 Guncon controller. It's broken, but it's sentimental to memories of playing the PS2 Time Crisis games w/ friends & family

[@aaronkemp7789]

The first PS2 I received could not play DVD (non-blue) game discs. We had to exchange it.

[@pharmcat8484]

Didn’t you have that CD-color difference in a previous episode?

[@AshBates27]

Hope everyone enjoyed the video. I enjoyed writing the script and finding out more about my favourite ever console!

[@codezero7981]

the 6th gen of gaming was truly something else.

Mistake found: First faills DVD laser. I repairing PS2 consoles. And 99% of them is DVD laser failure. CD lasers working as new in these cases.

[@michaelcalvin42]

That is how I remember it. Back in the day, I had a couple of early model PS2s die due to disc read errors, and it was always the DVDs that would fail to read first. You could usually still play CD games (including PS1 games) after the disc read errors started on DVD games.

[@TheOtakuNinja69]

I actually own that game of “Oni”.

[@glenhayman8722]

as always I greatly appreciate your work

[@EB05312]

I wonder if the guy who changed his name to mr. ps2 regrets it

[@CulturedVultures]

he changed it to Nigel N-Gage after

[@toycoma98]

I found out you can rotate the PS logo in 2007.

[@Yumenokoi]

Who is the character on the thumbnail? o.o

[@larssawatzki1538]

Looks quite a bit like Terumi Mei from Naruto.

[@RusticRonnie]

Halo on PS2 never was the FPS version it would have been the RTS version, it didn’t become an FPS until after bungie was purchased. it also would not have been the TPS because that version was only a concept for a few weeks. The Halo DS was a pitch and developed on the GoldenEye - Rogue Agent (you can play it) it was obviously never picked up but it leaked a few years back. The leak is just multiplayer btw

[@mjdf122]

PS2 time with the Vultures

Did that say the GIMP user installation?!?
