| The_Liquid_Laser said: PS2 is an awesome system! It's my #2 system of all time behind the NES. (Switch will probably knock it down to #3 eventually though.) I have a pretty good amount of PS2 games, and I am sure that there are a ton more great ones I missed back when it was a current system. Also, my PS2 is almost 20 years old at this point, and I've never had any issues with either the system or the controller that came with it. I still fire it up several times a year to play a PS1 or PS2 game, and the games look great on a PVM. PS2 and NES are really what I like in a system too. I prefer having a dominant piece of hardware that gets almost all of the good games for a generation. Somehow that makes me want to collect a lot more games than I normally would. The backwards compatibility is also an awesome feature that I wish more consoles would have. Long live the PS2! |
PS2 is a pretty easy system to fix too. It's really just a fan, mobo, and disc reader. 90% of the time if a PS2 is failing it just needs a quick replacement part. And since PS2's are common as water, replacement parts are also common as water.
I expect there to be working PS2 systems well into the 2040's and beyond. I mean, sure, there might only be 10 million working systems worldwide by that point, and the vast majority of them will have been worked on. But that's a hell of a lot better than the current state of Sega CD, Saturn, and Turbografx CD.
