Why the PlayStation 2 is the best selling console ever

This was the EXACT conversation my mom had with the circuit city salesman when it came out. crazy

More like, the PS2 was $300 and a normal dvd player was likd $500

My first "adult" purchase was a PS2 slim and Kingdom Hearts when I was 7. I did chores and yard work for eight months to save up for it and even though it's dead, I still have it🥺

The ps2 was amazing until you forgot to turn the TV volume down when you restarted it.

I bought 3 of them cause they quit reading disks 😂

I remember when the PS3 came out and it was crazy expensive but still justifiable when compared to how much Blu-ray players were selling for back then.

When he picked up the GameCube and said can this do it too I cried 😂

[JustinTheVlogger]

The PS2 tecnology was so advanced during his time.

[nocturnechanson]

That’s literally why I bought my PS3. I wanted a blue ray player and the PS3 was about the same price. 😃

Back in the day when Salespeople were honest and gave you right information, God I miss them.

I remember we had a dvd player but it ended up having reading problems. The PS2 never let us down and always played the movies smoothly.

Bruh playstation was so lit we had three bookshelves full of games the library was nuts

Man, the PS2 holds a special place in my heart.

This really was a game changer. Just the fact that you basically got a DVD player and Game console for 150 each was too good to pass up.

I'm a 90s baby and I love the fact that I grew up playing all these systems and got to experience the improving of graphics and stuff. Ps2 had so many good memories!!

[RiotFryatt]

We had the PS2 TV remote with the Sony TV and that was the family DVD player

[NickKritikakos]

If only the GameCube could play DVD’s, I would’ve gotten a GameCube instead of a PS2, but Sony’s exclusive library also kept me with PlayStation

And get this, you could walk right into a store any time you want and just buy one. No scalpers, lotteries, signing up for alerts, clicking press & hold buttons for 15 minutes, waiting in virtual lines. Ahh the good ol' days

[jimmyjim]

This philosophy holds true today even. I really appreciate my ps5 being able to play 4k blu rays, beats paying 300$ for a player

The ps2 has pressure sensitivity in the buttons too. (warning: it needs to be a specific ps2 controller i guess)
