The PS2 era really felt special. So many iconic games and memories from that generation.
Probably because a ridiculous amount of games were produces for the PS2. I don't think any console, ever, has had that many games made for it.
I hate when they stand the psone on its side.
None of the above, I started on the PSone.
PS1 but had Master System and Mega Drive before that.
AND!
Lucky bugger.
Hardly. I grew up in a terrible household, just material possessions were provided but you had to tolerate decades of trauma so 🤷.
Also, contrary to the comments in here it doesnt mean we were rich. We lived on a council estate and my dad worked in a warehouse as a picker.
Rich kids had ps2, but I only owned ps4.
The one that's missing in the picture
PSP?
prolly the PSone
Ding ding :)
Did you have that goofy little flip-up LCD that attached to it?
I went to my rich friends house for the PS2. EyeToy and Spy Kids 3d was the coolest thing ever.
U still Friends w him?
I wish... 3 countries on, I haven't even been in the same town as him since I think 2006 at the latest. Don't even think I had access to the internet at that time.
Personal Rant Time
Looking back, I think he grew up with a single parent. My parents split up after I finished school/reached adulthood.
Chatting to others who had 'less than optimal parents' I noticed that even though some had parents who split up at one point, its different when you are 6-8 years old, and you learn to live with it.
And when you are 18-20 years old, getting ready to move out, and then you learn your entire childhood was a lie.
Placing PS1 that way is atrocious
PS2 also developed laser issues if used that way, I can't recall PS3
ps2 developed laser issues regardless. i've tuned and cleaned so many of those. should have charged but i liked my friends.
do you know if there was a way to fix the Dreamcast laser? I was like 19 when mine started failing and I think I just kept turning up the voltage pot a teeny bit to fix it for a while until it eventually burned out.
I do not know, but I learned the ps2 method by searching on the internets. I hate to recommend YouTube and reddit, but those are probably your best bets.
If the laser itself is not salvagable, there's always replacing the laser. I don't know if it's plugged or soldered in, but if it already doesn't work, what more can you do to it?
I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!
We had one that had to be cleaned every 3 months or so. The laser would begin sticking on the guide rails and have to be re-lubricated.
I'd just refocus or whatever that white knob did, and clean the dust off the lens
Some of us had to play ours upside down after the laser got all jank or something

Hell, the PS5 is shown vertical but with the stand in the horizontal configuration. The PS2 and PS4 also had stands available because they weren't stable on their side out of the box, and the systems aren't shown with them. Unsure about the PS3.

i’m still impressed by the ps5 design, i never would’ve thought a console could look pretentious
This angle really highlights that PS4 was the best design by far
It's the most bland one.
there’s a slim ps2 knocking on your door right now

Dubai architect: They’re on to us!
Quick, add in the worst car-centric road patterns imaginable.
Alright, they fucked up the scale on the 4, no way it's smaller than the 1

I love the industrial design of the PS2 so much. It has all of that optimistic futurism look of the late 90s/early 2000s.
Similar reason for the 4. Loved it. The 5 just looks proper stupid in my opinion.

Or Seattle, this one is a little on the nose:
The only one I ever owned was 2. I could never afford the others when they launched and didn't care enough once the price dropped because I had too much going on in life.
I wanted the PS5 but I think it's seen price hikes like many other electronics, right?

Ive owned and played 1, 2, 3.
By the time 4 was out I had a bangin gaming pc, always had a computer but never a top of the line like I did at around 2010.
Started all the way left and have had every one but the 5 pro.
Damn the first two were some halcyon days. The PS2 was my introduction to staying up and hitting the refresh button on some site called amazon to buy one at launch. I still remember the feeling of the buy going through.
Sigh.
