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.
Regarding your personal rant: Surely you saw some signs? Still sorry to hear that
ps1, but i was so young i barely remember it. i have more memories with ps2. my dad skipped ps3 because he found out the 2nd gens werent backwards compatable with ps2 games so he got an xbox 360 for us instead. never had 4, but bought a 5 for me and my siblings a year or so ago
Put a few drone shaped holes in those and you got yourself 2026 Dubai cityscape
I was a PC gamer, but the PS3 was my first PS experience. I didn't like the controller.

Beautiful memories on old systems.
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.
Had a two first, skipped three, then had four and five
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.
None. Xbox is better.
It's kind of funny to see this level of fanaticism on Lemmy. Xbox had a great run for a while. RIP.
As someone who's first "new" console was the Xbox one...
Is it better... Even if I didn't switch to PC, I would go to playstation. Not because the games, because the leadership.
