The reason the PS3, PS4, and now PS5 had or have no games is because the PS2 took them all.

[@Gatorade69]

The PS4 has no games ? Are you sure you're not talking about the Xbox ?

[@_-Lx-_]

In what way did 3 and especially 4 not have games? 4 has a massive library.

[@mylet2658]

Ps 2 was hands down the best system the range of games were almost infinite

[@NC-cf7kl]

@@Gatorade69 Maybe he means the Ps2 had well over 4000 games while the Ps4 only has 2000+. And the Xbox only has under 100 less games, which really is nothing when you’re talking about thousands of games. But comparing over 4000 to under half of it, thats a pretty big margin

[@Gatorade69]

@Angelo Griffith He said the PS3, PS4 and PS5 "had or have no games." I would think obviously It's an exaggeration. Sure, PS2 had a lot more games but that doesn't mean the PS4 "Had no games." Like I said, exaggeration.

[@ericsteylen8459]

Thanks to the KZbin algorithm (I guess?) I’ve stumbled across your video. Gladly I might add! Your voice sounds like a cross between Ron Swanson and Tom Green and I find it hilarious. Also, your scoring system is actually amazing. Great work!

saw a pink slim go for €50 at a popular chain used gaming gear store. came back the next day to buy it but someone else snagged it. also saw the automotive edition yellow for sale for €500 in a vintage store run from an old basement under a really old like 19th century building in the city center. apparently someone fished it out of a skip/dumpster and brought it in

I bought a like brand new Black PS2 Slim for £78, boxed with manuals. The console, controller, wires and manuals are pristine. Only a little more than a regular used PS2 but way less than a Brand New sealed PS2. A happy medium as plan to use the console but keep in excellent condition.

[@Diwasho]

It's almost funny how Char Aznable got as many as TWO different consoles themed after his mobile suits in the 6th console generation. There's the red Zaku GC and then there's the golden Hyaku-Shiki PS2, it's almost as if one company saw another do a Char console and said "quick, we gotta respond with a Char variant of our own!". Other than these two there were never any other consoles dedicated to him or any other Gundam character. I don't think they were tied to any specific Gundam related event either, it's just Sony and Nintendo all of a sudden decided to release Char variants of their consoles for no reason within a relatively short time window between them.

[@LN_997]

And then the only Char themed games systems we've gotten since have been handhelds like the 3DS

[@brostenen]

Some of the more erath toned colours, were prices that you could win in a draw or something. Back in 2003/05'ish here in Denmark. They were never on sale here. It was right before the silver fatt and the slim quickly came on the market some time later.

they sell for 150-200 and 300-600 in the box for the gold gundam model at 5:34 . So essentially yes they can and will go for more then a ps4.

Those give me major Wii vibes; the glossy finish, the slim design, even the little flap open tab thing at the bottom, it all looks so similar. Maybe Nintendo got a little inspiration from Sony back in the day when designing the Wii :P

[@marty_debiru]

I have some PS2 with me, specially japan editions to play japanese games. My favourites are Ocean Blue and Midnight Blue, they look similar but once side by side you can spot the differences. To just play I run a simple slim silver japanese PS2. For some time I also had a PSX, a working condition one, it used to ran smooth, fast and quiet. Menu was a bit weird and navigating it was odd, guess they were still figuring out the new menu system. I would play DVDs on it and was my main DVD player for years until it died. Probably the rarest PS2 out there, and surprised you missed it, is the PS2 TOOL, basically the dev kit studios would use to develop games. It's like a normal fat PS2 but extra huge. You can find them out there but they requiere some work and passwords to run.

I’m surprised you never mentioned the TEST PS2! A local game store I go to has one. It’s a fat ps2 with the word “TEST” in the PS2 font replacing the word “PS2”. I get that it’s not intended to be a product for the mass market, but there’s plenty of em out there and to me it’s practically another edition of the PS2.

[@NoName-ik2du]

I have the "super" slim version in silver. When I first got it twelve years ago, I noticed it could run some of my more graphically intense games a little better than the fat PS2s, so it must have upgraded hardware. It also does not require an external power brick like the original slim model, plus the design is a little cleaner. Definitely my preferred model, though silver is my least favorite color. I think I've only maybe ever seen one other "super" slim PS2 in person.
