Yeah, this screen holds a deep meaning. The bootup intro was supposed to represent leaving this world and entering a new world in which you've inserted into the console through a disk. To be stuck here proves to be very disheartening.
It is a bit scary and unexpected when it appears and all. But the creepiest part is that the sounds are almost unique everytime. Like, it doesn't sound like a loop at all, it sounds...random.
As a coder, I can tell you that there are no more than 6 tracks, and that they are all able to be synthesized. However, they have a randomness factor in them that takes an old sound thats been synthesized and makes it a new sound! Yay!
@@Dr_mafario Does this apply to the PS2 Menu screen? The one with a working clock? So l doubt if anyone can just download the separate tracks. If someone needs the authentic ambience that sounds unique each time, they have to look here(gamerip). Very interesting; how random factor can make such little things great!
@@deadspace4755 Basically, the PS2 just uses a handful of sounds for everything in the menu. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING, the most obvious being startup sounds being used in the menu and red screen, or selection sounds in the startup; Very slight changes in pitch, volume, and speed do wonders in hiding exactly what sounds are being used where and when, as well as for ambience. Also, disclaimer, not an audio guy. Ive been coding a game engine from scratch using c sharp for 2 weeks now and I wanna die; point being, its all in what systems are put in place. Some things can be made easier with certain systems in place and the PS2 has its priorities focused on audio and graphics, so it was able to do this stuff. Its the kind of thing that gave it its charm; it was what it did so unbelievably well. What was your question again? Oh, thats right. Yes, the sounds are reused throughout the menu. Nobody knows exactly what order or pitch the startup tracks are set to so nobody can recreate it exactly. And yes, subtle, slight randomness is very important for ambience, which is why perlin noise was created. 👍
Turn on this video at 1:30 am when you're alone at home. And only the light you have in your room will be from your TV. Then you will experience a real horror.
Two cubes, falling endlessly through a tornado of clouds and mist. The wind feels nearly silent and deafening at the same time. A red light breaks through the clouds, giving the air a sinister crimson color. What’s at the bottom? None know. The clouds around say not a single word. The fear remains, and the cubes wonder if they will be freed. They continue falling... and falling... and falling... This... is Eternal Fear.
This place is very strange and i don't know what that mean to continue forever but the noise is scary for me, it sounds like an airplane hits the rain and flying infinty in the sky and that giving this horrible noise.
Idk what's at the bottom, but whatever it is, I'm surrounded by these 3 flying cubes. Idk where I am, how long it's been since I've escaped, but I've only been falling deep. I don't know if it's me or some nuclear war at the bottom but for the love of god, PS2 LET ME LEAVE PLEASE-
When I was a child, I had a Playstation 2 and my brother always played very late. I fell asleep peacefully with the sound in the background. Thank you very much for the video
This reminds me when my PlayStaation 2 died, it was so sad (And scary) to see this red screen. I remember myself scared inserting every single one of my discs (I had approximately 47 game discs) to see if I could still play something )’: The only game that worked was an agent 007 one. After that, I tried to fix it by opening my PS2, but everything went wrong and I couldn’t even turn it on. But this story has a happy ending because 7 years later I could finally get to work my old PS2.
Or an Earth that never even got to taste life. It was always desolate, devoid of laughter and love. Nothing was ever on Earth to mark the passage of time except for the chorus of its waves And now that you're here, you will be the only one to ever hear their melody
Sad sound. I don't know how many times i had guessed about this hard question, it sounds like a dead dark place in water splash, waves from a beach continues to fly up and down.
So calming and relaxing. PS2 is the goat. Such a great and a legendary console with an amazing library of games. My childhood was shaped by this computer. Red screen scared me a bit it's like a red limbo or a void you are entering but it's super nostalgic knowing how many titles you could play. I always think of my best memories being involved in playing PS2 alone in my room, with my brother or my friends. Wish I could rewind back time to this era.
In the first time I ot the RSOD, I Immediately turned off the console and can't sleep later cause I got scared because of the cubes rotationg around the screen and an red fog on the screen, and I didn't know what it's the letters on the screen on the first time. But now, it's doesn't scare me, for me right now it's kinda relaxing for me, but in this day I remember it what I'm doing in this moment when I got this screen in the first time. It's Scary but not so much like the River Twygz theme in Super Paper Mario. That one it's the creepiest thing I ever heard in my life. But now I still have my old PS2 (SCPH-90010). Great memories with this console.
Oh and I know how to cause the RSOD without putting an forgeign disc on the PS2. First, turn on the console and then, keep holding the Circle Button (or the O button, or the Action Button like Lara always says, I guess) and boom, you get the RSOD
Whoever thought this was a good idea, I hope they got fired. I never feared this as a kid, but now that I'm older and have a deeper understanding of everything, this screen is downright terrifying.
Honestly, I find this oddly calming. Idk why but I imagine myself falling into an infinite abyss and the wind-like sounds are making it more relaxing and mysterious. And it makes me wonder what's down there though there's actually nothing (it's infinite) lol
Imagine, you are 8 years old, and you wake up at 3AM, the only current illumination is the moonlight coming through your window, your parents, and any other family members are fast asleep, you know you should go back to bed, but you want to play PS2, so you get out your Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas disc, and put it into the PS2. You then turn your PS2 on, you wait patiently for the startup screen to finish, but it goes slower than usual, you just ignore it and wait for the splash screen and then GTA, but instead, you see the Red Screen of Death, you hear that loud sound blaring through your TV speakers, followed by the same ocean-like sounds of the browser menu, only with the heartbeats of what sounds like Satan himself. The room now illuminates with this dark, funky shade of red, and on the screen, you read 'Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc', along with the horrific sights of the red vortex and the two glass cubes floating in the same direction over, and over, and over again. You wonder when or if you'll reach the bottom, but it seems as if you wont, you are too afraid of getting too close to it, so you just wait, until your parents come in to check on you, only to see you petrified by the screen.
@@SuperToonDisneyProductions Yea, this system is nutritious for doing this with just the slightest scratch. See those cubes? Thats how scratchless your disk had to be to avoid this from happening. Thankfully, they fixed it!
@@AstraFxmbyPlays i think its just the sudden mood whiplash that makes it creepy for some people. its not that scary at all by itself but it can be a bit startling if you arent expecting it
Oh man. This holds some memories, I'm only 11 coming up 12 years old but I used to play on my PS2 slim when I was about 4-6 years old (because we did not have any other console at the time) but I did not have my first RSOD until recently. When I tried to play some tekken 4 I got this and I felt a chill go up my spine, I actually was frickin terrified. That was the last time my PS2 ever worked again. I really want a new one.
Story time: I went to sleep, dreamedni was playing on the ps2 like an ordinary kid? Until the ps2 just showed a red screen of death on 100 volume, I was with my big brother at 3 am playing some ped at that time, when the screen appeared, we both cried out loud, our parents.didnt hear us, then the screen of death's sound just became higher and higher, the screen then sucked us both into the red screen of death, while falling I heard people yelling from pain and suffering in harmony, and saw faces scarier than you can imagine, then I woke up, it was 4am I cried the loudest I can, I lightly punched the console and swore to stop playing for a week. THIS IS THE END 😨
I had a dream that I brought my PS2 to my mom’s house. We played a game and then this came on. Mom freaked out and told her their is nothing to be afraid of. It kept looping the first few seconds of it but it kept getting brighter and brighter. Me and mom knew something was wrong and so we hid behind the hallway. When we came back out, it was too bright and had scary ambience. It said on screen “This PlayStation 2 will self-destruct in 10 seconds” it counted down. Me and mom panicked, so we got our family and pets out of the house just in time before it exploded and caught the house on fire. We were safe and I woke up.
I was scared of this when I was 10 years old around the time of the 6th generation of gaming and it is still scary to this day. Even error messages or TV warning messages like the Emergency Alert System when your TV turns black out of no where and transfers to a robotic voice still gives me nightmares to this day. The dashboard sounds on the original Xbox and RSOD on the PS2 still give me nightmares to this day.
I know for a fact, I was curious to see this screen when I was young and little... it didn't even scare me... when I heard the sound... it was so... interesting... I remember pretending to enter a new dimension where everything was so... soothing... though it may sound like a storm... but it peaceful... like a stormy beach... and still to this day... I never was scared of it... I know most people were afraid but... for some reason, not me... I was curious about it.
I said this so many times it sound like waves, tsunami, tornado, rainstorm, wind noise, the dark night, and snow mountain melting, but I don't what else.
The Sea Waves though 🌊 It feels strangely terrifying. I'm standing on a Beach while it's raining, but I can't leave yet because a Mysterious creature is waiting for me just under the water. Watching me, and waiting for me to turn my back so it could finally attack. So I'm unwillingly stuck on it and can't do anything but watch the many patterns of the Lightning.
i find this very relaxing, similar to thunder softly sounding across the horizon. The only difference here is that its thunder AND beach noises, and this doesn't have jumpscares like thunder may occasionally have
It says that we can insert PS1 or PS2 disks, which confuses me. this screen shows up if I put a ps1 cd over the ps2 console and I faced against that screen, it's actually shocking. Talking of the sound, it's more like earthquake / earth after apocalypse.
I think the scariest part about this is that we really DON'T KNOW where this is taking place AT ALL. We know it isn't Heaven because it doesn't look like something Heaven would obtain, like say, a beautiful looking bright sky, friendly clouds, etc., but is it really Hell though? Sure, it's red like Hell, but I don't see Satan, nor do I see any bad dead souls around here. Just cubes, & a dark red whispery mass of wind. So, this probably isn't Hell. So, what is it? Well, like I said, the fact that we don't even know WHERE this is taking place at is what makes it so creepy. All this screen ever tells us is to insert either a PS1, or PS2 format disc. It's seemingly just left to the imagination of the viewer here on what this place is, what's it like there, how it operates, etc. It's quite possibly one of the creepiest mysteries I've seen in a while, & just thinking about it may hint something more disturbing than what we see on the surface.
It's like a cosmic limbo where there's no form or existence, just cubes falling in an infinite way on the red light storm, like trying to form by themself a sort of 3D life.
Man, this shit be hitting differently when everything is dark, no other sounds outside, and the fan is on blowing cold air when you're travelling down the red pit...
(for me) the reason it is scary is for two reasons. 1: The evil shade of red. 2: it can happen anytime even if you pass the "PlayStation logo" tho it is rare.
For a screen that scared many kids who were unlucky enough to get their disc scratched back in the PS2's heyday, it sure sounds oddly peaceful. Though I might be biased since I've always loved watching rain and thunderstorms out the window.
I was honestly pretty terrified when I first encountered it and I was one of those unlucky kids. I managed to get the disc working again and when more games kept getting scratched, that screen was annoying me so much.
Cutiecupvee Well it can be scary like this, for example: There was a big huge nuclear war globally and after that, there is no life left and it's a bunch of red and white clouds howling across the wasteland.
Yes! Especially when the RSOD screen triggers during darker hours/closed curtains and there is that eerie, deep red glow that lingers across the room, resulting in a what I call a "Nightmare on Elm Street" like ambience.
Ahhhh, the PS2 intro. Nothing is better tha- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ah, PlayStation. Our doorway to countless other worlds, with the only key being a £5 disc! Lines of code, meticulously assembled to allow us a fun, family friendly adventure! Except When the key is scratched, we get stuck in the middle place. A red, dead, wasteland containing nothing but disappointment, misery, and pure, unadulterated Satan dust.
Sometimes, I kind of wish someone would make a game about exploring this world within the PS2. Every other console is usually pretty straight forward, but the PS2 did something no other console could, make what I consider to be a Console Universe. Let me explain. Anytime you start up a PS2, these little things of light, we'll call them "Whispers", start zooming around the screen, & in a way deduct weather or not you deserve to see the game you've inserted. Councilors of the PS2, if you'd please. When you start the console, you're in the "Block Lands", the Whispos's own realm, they can send anyone to any place (Game), given that they can read what's written on the disc you've inserted. If it's a disc they don't understand, it's off to what they'd call "Red Lands", a vast place of eternal falling, with invisible beasts that nobody has seen, but all can hear them as they fall. When you don't have a disc in, they become confused, & send you to the "Void Lands", where lower, light blue beings whom I'd call "Technicos", who know well the inner workings of your console & will help you keep track of what memories are on your console. Sometimes a "Corrupted Cube" will appear, other times it might just be time to forget a few things, or copy them, either way, the Technicos are always ready to help in the long run. That's just my observation of course, & don't get me started on the realm in PlayStation: All-Stars Battle Royale, that would take years to explain.
This never actually scared me as a kid for some reason. Maybe it was because it didn't show up very much. I actually honestly thought the regular startup was scarier as a kid because it was louder. Looking at it now, I can understand why it scared many people, but it doesn't really scare me. It's actually kind of nice in a way.......
As someone who didn't grow up with a PS2, I'm really not too spooked by this. Game companies do trippy stuff all the time, need I remind you of the rhythmless Wii home menu music?
I had two of them a long time ago. I always found this screen unsettling because most of the time, you wouldn't expect the screen to appear. You inserted a disc, sometimes it would read it as unrecognized depending on the current state and condition of the disc, and this just happens.
it's designed that way, to scare people. it's supposed to be displayed when something's gone very wrong. it's also supposed to be a bit soothing at the same time to keep people from panicking, however. basically, it's meant to make you uncomfortable and frustrated when you see it so that you recognise that it's a bad thing and avoid recreating it in the future.
Is thunderstorm noise in background sounds from the ps2 red screen of death is very nice during new year day fireworks noise in background sounds is nice and nice
I'm quite happy the PS3 never had a Screen like this when I first got it, but to find out that the YLOD exists, that Unexpected click was terrifying. Bravo Sony, You sure know how to scare kids.

It feels strangely terrifying. I'm standing on a Beach while it's raining, but I can't leave yet because a Mysterious creature is waiting for me just under the water. Watching me, and waiting for me to turn my back so it could finally attack.
So I'm unwillingly stuck on it and can't do anything but watch the many patterns of the Lightning.
Yes, it sounds like waves getting bigger and bigger everytime in the sea, and the darkness places but this is only my guess I think.
i find this very relaxing, similar to thunder softly sounding across the horizon. The only difference here is that its thunder AND beach noises, and this doesn't have jumpscares like thunder may occasionally have
They said, you have to guess, what sound it is, that's true.
It says that we can insert PS1 or PS2 disks, which confuses me. this screen shows up if I put a ps1 cd over the ps2 console and I faced against that screen, it's actually shocking.
Talking of the sound, it's more like earthquake / earth after apocalypse.
I think the scariest part about this is that we really DON'T KNOW where this is taking place AT ALL. We know it isn't Heaven because it doesn't look like something Heaven would obtain, like say, a beautiful looking bright sky, friendly clouds, etc., but is it really Hell though? Sure, it's red like Hell, but I don't see Satan, nor do I see any bad dead souls around here. Just cubes, & a dark red whispery mass of wind. So, this probably isn't Hell. So, what is it? Well, like I said, the fact that we don't even know WHERE this is taking place at is what makes it so creepy. All this screen ever tells us is to insert either a PS1, or PS2 format disc. It's seemingly just left to the imagination of the viewer here on what this place is, what's it like there, how it operates, etc. It's quite possibly one of the creepiest mysteries I've seen in a while, & just thinking about it may hint something more disturbing than what we see on the surface.
It's basically the Black infinite Void of nothingness while the red Blooded Cursed Hole of Despair is the only thing that brights out in the darkness
Please insert a *PlayStation®*
or *PlayStation®2* format disc.
INSERT MY NUTS STUPID ERROR!
You’re crazy
Rsod text 😂🤣🥲
As a kid i wasn't really scared from this schreen, just a bit unconfortable but mostly angry because i knew i was not gonna play my game >:(
It's like a cosmic limbo where there's no form or existence, just cubes falling in an infinite way on the red light storm, like trying to form by themself a sort of 3D life.
This sound, this picture... ...yes...
...IT IS A RSoD SCREEN
Kid: time to put this disc to the PS2
PS2: 0:04 Please insert the PS1/PS2 Disc
I found this relaxing,not scary,never happened to me back in 2011
me too
nightmares from childhood: the video
Man, this shit be hitting differently when everything is dark, no other sounds outside, and the fan is on blowing cold air when you're travelling down the red pit...
I finally figured out why it scares me. That weird ambience in the background? It sounds like a human heart.
Sounds like crashing waves.
this is so chill, i love that atmospheric vibe the ps2 bios had
This place is so creepy and strange that sounds like waves, the dark night, rainstorm, and snow mountain melting.
playstations 2 start up without formated disc and also in 3AM be like :
(like you got scared and had like nightmares within it)
Its sounds kinda relaxing
null 42 it’s
(for me) the reason it is scary is for two reasons.
1: The evil shade of red.
2: it can happen anytime even if you pass the "PlayStation logo" tho it is rare.
Ok Sony, Open a gateway to hell when some innocent kid uses a Scratched PS2/PS1 Disc.
For a screen that scared many kids who were unlucky enough to get their disc scratched back in the PS2's heyday, it sure sounds oddly peaceful. Though I might be biased since I've always loved watching rain and thunderstorms out the window.
I was honestly pretty terrified when I first encountered it and I was one of those unlucky kids. I managed to get the disc working again and when more games kept getting scratched, that screen was annoying me so much.
WARNING: This Video Will Definitely Give You PTSD
can someone tell me how this is scary?
I can't. Sorry, ma'am.
no worries
I guess because of the sound, and if u play ps2 in the dark and this pops up unexpectedly , it gets creepy
Cutiecupvee
Well it can be scary like this, for example: There was a big huge nuclear war globally and after that, there is no life left and it's a bunch of red and white clouds howling across the wasteland.
Yes! Especially when the RSOD screen triggers during darker hours/closed curtains and there is that eerie, deep red glow that lingers across the room, resulting in a what I call a "Nightmare on Elm Street" like ambience.
*ding dong*
*your disc is wrong*
i wasn’t scared of this at all the only thing it did was send chills down my spine
I'm a freak I know but the sound was actually calming for me.I always loved it lol
Ahhhh, the PS2 intro. Nothing is better tha- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Even on deep voice of humans falling in a waste of time hell and fire, Red cubes and spirits of hell.
When I listen to this screen, I feel calmed by the sounds..
You can hear the sound of sirens before the ps2 error message shows
Sirenhead confirmed
Who has nightmares of the PS2?
1 hour of fear
v FoX 0 Sounds both accurate, and like your describing a terror attack
U mean 1 hour of death getting near you slower and slower with in the worst way you can imagine
Relaxing*
Ah, PlayStation. Our doorway to countless other worlds, with the only key being a £5 disc! Lines of code, meticulously assembled to allow us a fun, family friendly adventure!
Except
When the key is scratched, we get stuck in the middle place. A red, dead, wasteland containing nothing but disappointment, misery, and pure, unadulterated Satan dust.
The lesson to be learned? Don't. Damage. Keys.
Sometimes, I kind of wish someone would make a game about exploring this world within the PS2. Every other console is usually pretty straight forward, but the PS2 did something no other console could, make what I consider to be a Console Universe. Let me explain. Anytime you start up a PS2, these little things of light, we'll call them "Whispers", start zooming around the screen, & in a way deduct weather or not you deserve to see the game you've inserted. Councilors of the PS2, if you'd please. When you start the console, you're in the "Block Lands", the Whispos's own realm, they can send anyone to any place (Game), given that they can read what's written on the disc you've inserted. If it's a disc they don't understand, it's off to what they'd call "Red Lands", a vast place of eternal falling, with invisible beasts that nobody has seen, but all can hear them as they fall. When you don't have a disc in, they become confused, & send you to the "Void Lands", where lower, light blue beings whom I'd call "Technicos", who know well the inner workings of your console & will help you keep track of what memories are on your console. Sometimes a "Corrupted Cube" will appear, other times it might just be time to forget a few things, or copy them, either way, the Technicos are always ready to help in the long run. That's just my observation of course, & don't get me started on the realm in PlayStation: All-Stars Battle Royale, that would take years to explain.
PS2: please insert a PlayStation
Me: is this how I get more PS2’S?
ps2 rsod:IM THE SCARIEST ERROR IN THE WORLD
ps1 fearful harmony and personified fear:hold my error
0:06-0:09 sum about that hollow sound is soothing asf😅
I'll try having this in the background while I sleep.
This never actually scared me as a kid for some reason. Maybe it was because it didn't show up very much. I actually honestly thought the regular startup was scarier as a kid because it was louder. Looking at it now, I can understand why it scared many people, but it doesn't really scare me. It's actually kind of nice in a way.......
As someone who didn't grow up with a PS2, I'm really not too spooked by this. Game companies do trippy stuff all the time, need I remind you of the rhythmless Wii home menu music?
I had two of them a long time ago. I always found this screen unsettling because most of the time, you wouldn't expect the screen to appear. You inserted a disc, sometimes it would read it as unrecognized depending on the current state and condition of the disc, and this just happens.
Going through a stormy night.
It sounds like I’m drifting through space
If you have an experience the red screen of death you don't know what true fear is...
Ps2: bro ur disk is backwards, put it in properly...
5 year old me: *CONFUSED SCREAMING*
Every morning I wake up hearing that sound play back in my head and also when there is no light somewhere
The ambience sounds like an ocean sort of..
using this as world-building inspiration for a cosmic horror dnd campaign.
When I was a kid this scared TF out of me.. now it's kinda relaxing
it's designed that way, to scare people. it's supposed to be displayed when something's gone very wrong.
it's also supposed to be a bit soothing at the same time to keep people from panicking, however.
basically, it's meant to make you uncomfortable and frustrated when you see it so that you recognise that it's a bad thing and avoid recreating it in the future.
The first part is scary af but after that, it sounds sorta like a beach with waves crashing on the shore
Is thunderstorm noise in background sounds from the ps2 red screen of death is very nice during new year day fireworks noise in background sounds is nice and nice
My Favourite Parts - 0:10 - 2:01 - 3:03 - 3:32 - 3:51 - 5:00 - 9:00
I actually find this calming.
1life0gods same here
I purposely find ways to get this red screen on my PlayStation 2 just to listen to this calming sound right here.
this is what awaits us in a black hole, whatever gets sucked in gets to drown and suffocate inside throughout the progression of time.
I don't see why people are scared of this, I like it
It was childhood stuff like I was scared of the windows xp startup as a kid too
"so you've chosen death"
I love your picture
0:04 Scary 😨 😳 😬 😫 😐 😅
**You now enter demension 666**
what is demension
Obviously hell
The doctor: you have only 1 hour of live.
Me:
I don't know why,but i like it
I'm quite happy the PS3 never had a Screen like this when I first got it, but to find out that the YLOD exists, that Unexpected click was terrifying. Bravo Sony, You sure know how to scare kids.
There is a red screen. It appears if there's something really wrong with your PS3.
