he doesn’t look impressed at all
is that on the top-right an entirely ps2-dedicated shop? Never imagined it could have happened at that time
That’s the face of a man who wonders if it’s worth sleeping on the street for 3 days to play video games
Man he looks so calm, and the PS2 brings so much nostalgia.
What a great console
I remember my friend coming back to the dorm, with one of those things. We used to play Tekken on the PS1
After a smoke, and that thing was a game changer!
Legendary console. Damn time to fire up the ol emulator
Blue
God I miss the early to mid 2000s…
Had so many fond memories of the PS2. It’s the console I treasured the most, especially since my mom made sure I got one for Christmas even though she couldn’t really afford it.

He looks like Thom York
This face is shouting I’m-about-to-become *Hikikomori* with a lot of strength.
I love the blue box it comes in. Looks really nice.
He must stop 9/11
I remember the news reports, that seemed fairly wide spread but could have also just been the same story repeated over and over again, of kids waiting days to get a PS2 only to have some thug smack them in the head as they’re leaving Gamestop and steal it. Really made my heart break.
Of course, stealing that dumb kid’s PS2 and playing Dead or Alive for the first time wiped away any bad feelings that I had, so it is what it is.
Why didn’t he just buy a PS5 instead? Is he stupid?
* signature look of superiority.
I just bought a boxed PS2 THICC a couple of weeks ago. It was the happiest I’ve been in a while.
Legendary console with some great games. Don’t feel like the library aged as well as the GameCube did though with some exceptions.
When the PS2 was being released, there was a lottery for a chance to buy one of the first dozen in Germany. I won the lottery. For the chance to *buy* the PS2 at full MSRP. Which I did.
I remember getting my on launch day in 2000. I convinced my wife it was a good anniversary present because it played DVDs, and at the time DVD players were still pretty pricy.
I remember using some of my student loan to buy a PS2 at launch. Got the thing home and the drive tray wouldn’t eject 🙁 Sony customer services were not great back then. Got a new console after about a month. I got a free copy of fantavision as an apology.
and here in brazil we having access to this console in 2005
“You ain’t up on this”
The name of that kid? Aruberotto Ainsuttoin
Oh the memories.
What an iconic logo tbh, the minimalist spelling… Chefs kiss
