Is the playstation 2 the best bang for your buck console on the

Yes. Unless you happen to find a working PS3 Fat, which would have a full backwards compatibility with PS1 and 2 games as well, meaning kazillion games up until this very year.

Ps2 slim can use opl with a hard drive plugged into your computer to share games directly to it.

Almost all games work and it's pretty amazing.

I thought that was a legend.
Like some people mentioned it from time to time. But never heard about it directly from users

Most are yellow lighted by now. They were good consoles

>>386969413

i have one

20gb, 4 usb inputs, no wifi

>>386969475
is the yellow lighting really that common? My ps3 fat still works

Original X-Box > PS2. Fight me.

Usually consoles from 2 generations ago are super cheap to collect

360 with Region Hack an you're settled for an eternity.

I have a 60 GB model with wifi and it still works

Surprise, surprise. If you open up your fucking consoles and clean them, they tend to not explode and die.

4% of ps3's, but a huge percent of that 4 is the old fat ones

How's Call of Duty?

Funny, since PS2 had more CoD games than the original Xbox did.

Just bought a fat PS2 for $45. PS2s are not the most enjoyable consoles to buy used since they are easily the most unreliable of the four consoles of that generation. It's easier to find a reliable PS1 than a PS2.

>I thought that was a legend.
Nope. How new / young are you?
I still OWN the 60GB Fat I bought back in 2007, and it still works fucking fine. Which some claim to be a total miracle, as if the failure rate would have ever been even remotely close to OG Xbox360's literal 75%.

>>386971246
I have my fat sitting here, in the last 6 years or so it has seen maybe 5 hours of use.
Partly because I'm afraid to yellow light it, partly because no games

I'm willing to bet that majority of those amazing FOUR PERCENT got their systems busted by insufficient cooling caused by keeping the machine in cramped spaces for too long, not realizing that machines of that caliber are practically like PCs and need some basic maintenance from time to time.

My 60GB started to sound like a goddamn jet-plane when playing games at one point, which was remedied simply by pulling it out from the tight TV-stand's shelves.

The more advanced method, still not pro-hard, of keeping Fats alive would be purchasing those Sony-Philips screwdrivers, opening the sucker up, and cleaning any and all dust from the innards. If you wanna take it a step further, apply some new thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.

Final fancy-pants trick is to add more copper plates on top of the stock cooling pipes.

The best value for a console currently is a Wii. you can pick one up for $50-60 and they can most games from the first 5 generations

I don't get it. You buy a wii and then you have a wii. This doesn't get you any closer to playing video games.

>>386971851
WiiU is better.
>Literally includes Wii
>and thus can also run GC games, natively
>HDMI output as default
>easy peasy to Homebrew & fill with emulators
>~150 bucks for a system with extras and one game, average.

As someone who grew up with the original Xbox the exclusives were ass. Pretty much multi-plat -
the console. Though if I wanted a game I always bought the Xbox version if it was available.

>>386969413
My ps3 is a launch model and still works.

Also you can replace the HDD in them.

I played persona 5 on it and its still my primary blu ray player.

>>386971851
I bought my Wii from a garage sale for literally $3
Cleaned it up and hacked it, it now serves as my emulator box and I play gamecube games on it from time to time. Couldn't get over the strange controls for Super Mario Galaxy so I was a little bummed considering that was my first Wii game.

>>386969798
But the good 360 games you dont need region hack because they were released in NA.

Or do you mean the simple japanese exclusives that either get ported or have similar games that do better on other consoles.

Face it! Your console is a console multiplat machine and thats it.


Abiet, the best multiplat machine.

I meant that backward compatibility. I thought that was only in ps4

Are you literally 10?
There was a huge shitfest when the newger ps3 gens came out with no bc
