PS2 | PS2 Slim launch in 2000s around the world (24 years)

[@fromallaspects5339]

Funnily enough, I have a launch day SCPH-10000 PlayStation 2 and upon looking at the back of the box, it had the original purchase date of 4/03/2000. Someone in Japan must have been over the moon when they bought it on that day. The original owner also kept the Utility Disc V1.00 recall paperwork, but never surrendered the disc. Hahaha

The guy in front of me (in one of two lines) was taking forever, and by the time it was my turn I ended up getting the very last memory card.

We're poor and a Playstation is a luxury where I live when I was a kid , and only 1-2 friends and maybe 5 people in our school has playstation 1 , and most of those kids dont go out much, Hell if I had PS1 I wont go out much either, My memories in PS2 was playing with kids in our neighborhood WWE smackdown heres comes the pain . we're like 12 -15 kids taking turns in just 4 controller , good times eventhough only for a very limited time.

[@Adri_84]

Esos tiempos eran mágicos. Aquellos en los que llegabas a tu casa con esa caja, la abrías, conectabas la consola y te quedabas con la boca abierta al ver un cambio generacional que de verdad que justificaba la compra que habías hecho y además con títulos de calidad. Y no como ahora que te gastas dinero en una nueva máquina para que solo 5 o 6 títulos expriman la potencia y el resto sean juegos que pueden correr en un móvil y además están pensados para ser monetizados al máximo en lugar de ser divertidos.

Support physical copies guys! Game companies will do it if the demand is still there. Digitals don’t even offer a discount. Why not get the cool cover too for the same price! Lol

[@starrims]

Absolutely. They are justifying it saying carbon emissions and low resources but digital library needs more resources if anything and hence carbon emissions, considering huge amounts of energy to run servers, storage to hold databases. But the fact is digital will never die from now on and so they don’t want to continue doing both medium :(
