PS2 Startup + Menu Ambience

[howze48]

@davesanti i like how the cubes float with it in the beginning

[skullCH]

Reminds me of the Justice League game, my first PS2 videogame :)

[skullCH]

[angellusdark]

[4rsnduction]

+1 Respect For Old School Ambiance

[howze48]

Sounds like a ocean.

[davesanti]

@howze48 With the wind blowing in the background.

[563raptor]

hope that ps4 will be the same

[cyanman123]

Ah, 2001 :)

[antwon369]

I still have my PS1 and PS2 consoles and both still work. Even though I play most of my games on the PS2, I still play some of the games I have left of the PS1.

[ThePmadsen]

I remember that sound...Childhood has passed. After my ps2 caught on fire.

[halo6534]

What the fuck happened to cool start up's and shit like that? Gaming was so much better back then.

[TheJadeEffect]

Ah, man. I remember the days when I would turn on my PS2 just to fall asleep to the menu's ambiance. Good times. They done' make menus like this anymore.

[shkdbsahbdlabf1]

I remember starting up my PS2 late at night forgetting the volume was up... I fucking hated that shit!

[HappyCat32]

I fallasleep into this soo relaxing :)

[XxXBranFlakesXxX]

Disc read error.

[vitordaniel1991]

My PS2 have 7 years still works and i use it for some games my controller didnt have the same luck :)

[Faz5814g]

I remember when i sold my PS2 just to get a PS3 and when th owner came to take the ps2 i coudent stop looking at it );

[Faz5814g]

@Faz5814g Its ok theres a new updte for PS3 so we can now play PS2 Games

[Faz5814g]

PS2 ): miss u

[Ayman170Turbostar]

@Faz5814g then get one from amazon! they're only £30 these days!

[thekelvingreen]

I love the ambient sound; my wife used it to get to sleep. Is it downloadable anywhere so I can put it on my PS3?

[Punkrock3011]

best playstation menu ever for some weird reason it reminded me of GT3 cos i got it with PS2

[ocarinamaster64]

my favorite part was the part where it went...

[nkelly1432]

I could swear they used this ambiance in Shadow of the Colossus

[Spartan144x]

A friend named Courtney and I fell asleep over the phone listening to this song. :) What a memory.

[LoMejorDeCruzAzul]

Wow this brings me back,I remember when I accidentally had the volume all the way up when I turned it on and that first sound you hear at the startup scared the shit out of me

[HomeverYouChoose]

i have a 10 years ps2

[lloyde32]

Nostalgia :)

[LimitBreaker77]

@lloyde32 Amen

[EatDeeznuts1]

The good ol days of Need For Speed Underground 1 and 2, and GTA San Andreas.

[Mirror0211]

My ps2 still works, my ps3 still works... and all my friend's Xboxes have stopped...

[BOOST15673]

Ahhh so relaxing! But now after about 7 or 8 years, my PS2 is finally starting to not even turn on...

[thesega99]

WELL TOO BAD FOR YOU GUYS I STILL HAVE MINE, HUHUH, YEAUH

[rebelroar78]

NOSTALGIA

[Thewickedjunglist]

Playing GTA SA and NFSU2 all night, miss my ps2

[RingoStarr65]

This is my childhood. Oh my god. I WANT MY PS2 BACK D;

[Thewickedjunglist]

@RingoStarr65 Me toooooo!

[johno1432]

awesome! It's cool to put the PS2 on without any disc in it and just listen to the waves for awhile.

[pwilliams360]

Damn, I miss that sound :(

[barrage0607]

unfortunately my fat ps2 i bought in 2000 (im 15) stoped reading cd's it was a tragic day for me R.I.P PS2 December 23 2010

[weewee322]

@barrage0607 I had a silver PS2 that was dropped several times (i bought it in 2001). Still works :)... I got a slim too.

[DingoPenta]

@barrage0607 well, the early fat ps2's had major problem so their cd reader went broken :D

[boojan58]

@barrage0607 have you tried cleaning the laser eye? that would probably fix it!

[007Hazmatt]

dude i still love my ps2 i remember when everyone had one like everyone has either a ps3 or xbox 360 nowadays

[devilkirby164]

@007Hazmatt do you remember the gamecube menu music... it had the same feeling to it, soothing, but somehow scary

[gamer8675]

My ps2 is just going on 7 the disk tray broke in half but if u shimmy it in it works like a charm I love re-playing Devil May Cry 1

[sheepintheherd]

love those sounds

[MrKraiola]

Oh man, i so remember this. god, thanks for the upload.

[DarrylCrago]

@MrKraiola My PS3 and PS2 AND PS1 still work perfectly and were bought at launch (with the exception of the PS1 which I think I got in 97, my first 360 though died after 6 months. When it came to launch Xbox's its mostly luck if they're still running sadly.

[thecolorfox]

I had a launch console that failed after four years. Got another console in 2002 which still runs, but it can't run all games anymore, and struggles with many games on DVD. Its controller- and memory card ports are not working, unless I use a multitap (really weird). Bought a PS3 60GB with backwards compatibility, but it takes so few PS2-games, besides being much noisier and slower than my more recent PS3 slim. Sony sucks these days.

I'm getting another PS2 slim before they're gone forever.

[BluntAnim]

@julianixtheking

What is love! Baby don't hurt me... Don't hurt me... No more...

*bassline*

Baby don't hurt me... Don't hurt me... No more...

*organ*

What is love!!!

*dance*

[Krimzon6]

Fat PS2 is a legend!

[MagicQuinn]

fat ps2's ftw! sucks it broke =(::

[djbarcode5xyz]

I sleeped MANY a night to this beach sound on 4 surround sound speakers in my room. THE most comfortable thing to listen to while sleeping... ahhh... memories.

[nitromeplay]

My old ps2 is 4 years old and still runs ceaselessly sheer class...

[ZetsubouNoNoah]

Nostalgia... I've always preferred the PS2 and the Xbox and the Gamecube over all the other game systems out there. They will always be my favorites.

[1996theawesome1]

@ZetsubouNoNoah Like the people 10-15 years lower than us will always think the SNES and Genesis were favorites.

[TheClanWarsChanal]

funny how every playstation 2 i owned had hardware failer... its a mater of time b4 my 360 arcade fails too :(

[99johnsoncsj]

the xbox is shet breaks down all the time and the 360 is just as bad the s1 is better in stability than the xbox and the ps2 is better than the 360 and the ps3s only really competition in stability is probs the wii but still you get motion sensors in the 6 axis like in the wii controls

the ps3 is unmatched by any console and the xboxs just break i hav had my ps1 4 about 11years now and the ps1 DS and to my DC still works even tho its been crckd fru anger still wrks the same can t be said 4 xbox

[99johnsoncsj]

@ThePortableKING1234 hahaha i fully agree with you 110% :) :) :) microsofts xbox franchise is shet

[annihilator108]

feels like i'm at the beach listening to the waves.

[ViciousDave4Life]

I could go to sleep with the PS2 menu ambience on. It's quite relaxing.

[DGTelevsionNetwork]

@ViciousDave4Life lol i have

[ultimatechuggaafan]

Feels like I'm in a windstorm

[crudnup]

that sound is truly AMAZING! it's the best intro to anything I have heard, it reminds me of a huge empty Japanese (><) shopping centre/mall with a PS2 in the arcade starting up by itself and echoing throughout the whole mall

[tecEErbe]

All the PS2 sounds are epic chillout.

[tecEErbe]

@theGameMakingReject yes, it's very soothing :)

[hamsi1967ts61]

ps2 ftw!

[xxsolidsteelxx]

Thanks can I use this for like a DVD menu?

[Fatlinerdadd]

Oh my lord. I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who loved the ps2 menu. I remember during ps2 launch when I was a Freshman in Highschool and this menu just screamed epic. Perfect relaxation track as well.

[SicksTeaPhoarAlt]

Good to see that I'm not the only one who actually likes the background ambience.

[box787]

I love that noise :) It brings back memories

[TESTICKL3R]

@box787 true dar das y i like it

[KopparbergDave]

This is exactly what I've wanted for forever, better and cheaper than buying stupid ambience CD's which then chuck annoying bird squaking noises in the middle :p

Thhis is awesome, and I just wish the PS3 could have this endless background track when browsing through the XMB, would make my day...

[strykah92]

@KopparbergDave

Beautifully said. Sadly Sony doesn't acknowledge the PS2 when the PS3 is involved *points to the fact that the newer PS3's can't play PS2 games* ='(

[KioskHacking]

It's a shame my 7 year old PS2 still works fine to this day but my 8 month 360's hardware is already failing.

[kite781]

@KioskHacking All three of my Brick models are dead :|

[Sims2Series1]

@KioskHacking Fell you man, My PS2 had it for 11 Years, and Just got the PS3 and It's already Freezing . -_-

[lansio94]

@KioskHacking It's funny because my ps2 failed after half year and my 360 working almost 2 years

[KioskHacking]

@lansio94 Ironical luck eh?

[E1SUNZ]

@KioskHacking lol soo true

[cody7119]

@KioskHacking Ps3 ftw?.Thats actually why i got one 8 360's failed me. ps2 still works to.. and my ps3 ive had for 2 years.

[KioskHacking]

@cody7119 PS3 FTW brother. Also, since that comment was written a year ago I feel the need to update the fact that my 360 no longer reads any discs. Haven't used the thing in months.

[cody7119]

@KioskHacking Ya Microsoft makes the system shit on purpose more money. Like Bill needs anymore he dosent do shit with it besides use it as bath water.

[TheWaluigiman1]

@KioskHacking Same for my nFUCKING BROKEN PS3

[Tiffmidon]

@KioskHacking Haha, I know right! I have a PlayStation from October 1999 and it still works. (not good, but still) That proves Sony is better than any other gaming company out there. :P

[jamessonic5621]

@KioskHacking My 4 year old PS2 works like a pro to this day. Its just the controller i'm dissapointed with. :(

[MegaSilverEyE]

@KioskHacking you just gave me a reason to say xbox sucks !!

[LucasTizma]

Dude, you and I have the same love for awesome ambient music/sounds. :) Now I need to find the GameCube and Xbox ambient sounds. The PS2/GC/Xbox generation sure had some awesome background ambience!

[yasmineivy1]

I just love this sound! (The intro, not the various ocean sounds)

[okayillgonow]

@yasmineivy1: Dude both are awesome! (Just not as badass as the intro)

[joman66]

It reminds me of a time when after I ate at a boardwalk, i walked out to the beach at night and listened to the ocean slide on the sand, it was peaceful.

[kronKrew]

major props to ScienceOfThePS3

[jassssss20]

czemu nie ma tego na ps3

[jozilife]

i;ve been trying to find this song everywhere on the web! :D PROPS to ScienceOfThePS3 man thx alot dude ;)

[durdenej]

Ha something i was looking for!!! I knew there were people out there who would just love to listen to the ocean sounds. Thanks!

[gamerguy425]

sounds like a beach at night...... i wouldn't be suprised if that's what they actually recorded it from

[CalebBozeman]

I remember listening to this when I was 6 and the ps2 was first coming out. good times....

[454Logan]

i like that vid

[sonus03]

Excellent!!!
