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?
Costco sometimes has sales.
Yes. Every console since the Switch has only gone up in price.
You can get a PS5 for around 300 or less on the used market locally
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.
I only bought the 4 and 5 new, but I collect retro games and have all 5 base models. I used to pick them up on eBay or at garage sales back in the day. I remember that feeling of winning a bid (I didn't have a lot of money for it, so it took a while).
Playstations weren't my consoles growing up - I went from Nintendo systems to Xbox, but I still played them a lot at friends' houses.
Between my PS2, 3, and 5, I've got them all covered.
not for long
Sega master system II
I hope 6 is another boxy one. They seem to alternate, curvy - boxy - curvy - boxy - curvy (maybe not the original PS, but there is a big circle on top you can’t see in this picture)
Yeah, I'd count the original as curvy for this pattern. It was never meant to stand up like this.
I had 1, 2 and 5. I even still have a PS2.
123 for mememe. When the PS4 was released, I found its performance and load times atrocious, and the PS4/ XBone turned off of consoles forever. I’ll forever have my 2600 to PS3/Xbox 360/Wii collection tho!
I was hella into ICO and SOTC, so when TLG was announced I was like "I'll wait on getting a PS3 until I can play that."
So I never had a PS3.
I never had a PS4 because... I don't really know 🤷♂️ I only feel like out of those two systems, I only have missed out on MGS4 because it's the only thing I still can not play even with a PS5 (emulating it does not work well on my system or I'd do that). Though that will change in the future since it's getting a remaster with a PC release.
I’ve only played MGS1, so I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything on the PS4 hahaha. I’d be very interested in playing MGS2-4 on the computer, though!
I just modded a PS2 with a 1tb of games on the internal hard drive. It's pretty cool.
well the skyscrapers look like gravestones yeah from out here
Could also be various shavers
Beautiful memories on old systems.
I've had them all (no pros) and probably won't be getting another, judging by the way the industry is going.
It's sad. I haven't played my ps5 very much... And I'm enjoying older games or indies on PC more than any new games that come out. The quality of AAA seems to have fallen so far.
While simultaneously increasing in price. Pay more, get less. No thanks!
Had a two first, skipped three, then had four and five
I was a PC gamer, but the PS3 was my first PS experience. I didn't like the controller.
The PS5 was my first console since the N64.
While I appreciate that Sony was trying to do interesting design, the choice of shitty plastic for its case defeats that attempt completely. Crappy plastic just isn't the medium to pull that off. I immediately bought a bracket so I could hang it under the rear of my desk so I wouldn't have to see it.
