We still have our PS2. We had to get the slimmer, later model b/c our bulkier model wouldn't play any of our games anymore (probably 'cause we didn't have a memory card, so my brothers would leave the game on all night so they could come back and at least beat all the levels, or played on it for hours. We were kinda dumb--or they were dumb--we didn't know much about hi-tech stuff then. Now we have a Wii, but we have so many PS2 games, that it's totally worth keeping in the boy's room.
@bow7891 The number of cube things at the start is proportional to the space on your memory card. I think if you have less space, there are lots of blocks. But also I'm not sure because I don't remember seeing so many pretty towers on my startup screen
Thanks for uploading this video showing the PS2 options! It was quite helpful to navigate myself blindfolded to change my console to the component video signal.
How sad is it that I know what song plays at 0:43? I didn't even need to hear the flutes and I knew it was Nine Million Bicycles by Katie Melua. What's worse is I hadn't heard the song in like 3 years.
Well, with 2 things on the main menu. I still like the PlayStation 2 but I just haven't got it, For centuries, It has a lot of games than a Ps1 or a Ps3.
I liked the menu in the ps1 also and the cd player, if you pressed select you would get some cool audio visualizations quite basic nowadays but it was ahead of its time.
minchia che schifo di menu che aveva, molto meglio la prima xbox (che ancora rulla a casa mia) la dash originale è già ottima rispetto a questa, ma non parliamo cosa diventa se installi XBMC :)
I remember getting a PS2 when they first came out. The 'old style' was the best - the bulkiness and smooth fan noise was alot more re-assuring than the SlimLine version... I loved the little blue L.E.D light too!
still play it today !!
