I thought they were still in great shape but then saw the pants in the background and realized it’s an old photo
I hope you finally get one, OP!
😉
The guy to the right of you looks like he’s taking a piss.

Jesus.
Look at how much effort they put into these before. Colored art and everything.
Sorry to break it to you, bro, but i think they might be sold out
that brings back the old memories
Re.ember mine….I pre-ordered ages before release when they were accepting them. I was 3rd to get one in line. Great memory. They had security walk you out just in case someone tried to rob you
Wow, you probably had to pay full retail to get that ticket, and then they disclaim product availability.
Definitely canon for Worst Sell.
Looking back it’s kind of hard to remember what a sexy beast that was in its day. Even just the design aesthetic compared to the ps1 was such a huge jump
“The evolution of home entertainment” was actually pretty true as this was the cheapest DVD player you could buy.
dood! the ps2 is out? wtf
Those tickets look surprisingly modern
They had 63 in stock that day? 😮
Is there any thing dumber than waiting in line for a material good that will be readily available well after the release date?
I walked into Wal-Mart at like 3PM on release day and bought one of the 3 or 4 they still had in stock. Living in a rural area definitely has its specific perks. Lol
“Turn on the fun”…..
Man how things have changed. I wish how fun a game is was the most profitable factor for games. We would see a lot more fun games.
TIL Best Buy hasn’t changed their logo in a really really long time.
The jump from PS1 to PS2 was incredible in my opinion. It was an amazing time for gaming. I was a 14 year old that wanted nothing more than to play GTA 3
I pre-ordered mine at a record store. Saw they had some PS1 games on the wall and asked. There were only 3 of us that had them. I was a senior at the time so mom went in, got it, and out 5 mins later. Mall had a massive line for EB games and a couple other places she had said.
A different time. Perhaps, a better time.
I use to work at walmart at that time. There were ALLOT of bribes that came in during that time.. (Usually baked goods from businesses but no cash)
Well I wish my best buy used this fucking system for the PS3 launch in 2006 instead of the miserable free for all in the parking lot the night of release. I actually got a system and it still was the worst god damn night.
Shit, are those still good? I want one
Mine “fell off a truck” and my uncle got 2 for the price of one. One for them and one for me lol
Shame it’s not 69
Oh my, I’d have wanted to be there. For sure it was a magnificient event.
I’m looking for a PS5 buyer
I remember having these and waiting in line with my roommates.
I bought my PS2 at work, but they didn’t sell memory cards. I had to convince the store manager why they needed to sell memory cards. It took a while before I could get a memory card from work.
Nice when does it come out
When will people learn not to post their pictures like this online? Now I can just print these out myself and buy those PS2s instead of this person.
