Yeah but back then if games have fatal bugs then there's no way to fix it. Soul Calibur 3 had a bug where it can wipe the entire memory card. Today it would be easily fixed by simple patch (that wouldn't take hours to download) but back in good old day, you just have take it. Even if they did release revised version, then you'd end up buying the same game twice. Good old days are good, but not perfect.
@@cnhnx And 20 years later, some problem still exist on new games. Shocking! Besides, it only happens on certain conditions and definitely didn't stop numerous people from completing the game. Also, you can backup the saves easily. I''ll take that than having to tolerate the craploads of updates, mandatory Day1 patches, bugfixes, dlcs that should be in the game, MTs, lootboxes, etc..
Step 1: Buy console Step 2:Buy game Step 3: **require internet connection to download extra content** Step 4: **this game require an internet connection to play**
Wtf? Step 1: Buy Console Step 2: Buy Game as Disc or from the ps store Step 3: pay for online features which also includes Server costs (your fault for buying a fucking console) Step 4: Play Stop acting like it's different its the same thing
The world's most sold console ever and it will highly likely never be beaten Besides if PS5 outsells, which I think it would due to its exclusive titles.

Those beautiful blue launch boxes were like treasure. Still remember when I got my PS2 -- I'd had a used PS1 for a while but had always been a Nintendo kid. Getting a brand new PS2 felt like a step into a larger world. The whole thing felt incredibly futuristic, from the style of the packaging to the console itself, and of course that start-up screen. It was thrilling!
It feels like a long time ago to me. When PS2 launched a lot of people would still have been renting VHS tapes from Blockbuster, listening to music on cassettes and Minidiscs, using pay phones, taking children to visit pilots in the cockpit before a flight etc.
*_This is so beautiful. I can feel the excitement of the gamers and families with their kids on a warm night nighttime shopping for the next big thing. Then going home and enjoying your new purchase._*
It was a time era where you had not to worry about in game micro transactions and DLC, games that were cutted half their content, you had not to worry about subscription paid services neither. No it was just full games with great content and countless hours to spend, amazing diversity of gameplay experiences. There is no doubt of why it's still the best selling console ever. It was really worth the price it costed and the customer was not getting fooled. Great memories of that period... So much fun

Dick Bicycle I mean iPhone barely adds anything, each console leap is huge and the possibilities in games grow, but OMG there’s a new iPhone and it can do almost everything my last phone did? Take my 1000 dollars
One of the happiest days of my life was buying my PS2. I remember this dam machine was nowhere to be found for months after release. But when I finally got my hands on it, boy-oh-boy.
I remember getting my PlayStation 2 around April 2001. It was fairly easy to get 6 months after it launched in the USA 🇺🇸. By that time some good games were available like Onimusha which made it worth owning.
Was like this here in the U.S....got mine at launch (cause of the crowds, I thought I was going to get jumped and have it stolen from me as I walked out of the mall) and still have it and works perfectly...it was one of if not the best (close tie with PS4) console Sony ever made...was great to have backwards compatibility with all other older PSX games....not like this today...not too many people get excited anymore and it's a shame...
The leap from PS1 to PS2 in graphics were crazy. Finally, after seeing high quality characte models in ONLY cutscenes for over half a decade, finally we could see them in real time gameplay! and the games that followed... man, i miss those simpler days
They leap in graphic were always crazy between PS1 to PS2 to PS3. At this time, getting new console really felt next gen. Apparently, PS3 is basically the start of the peak graphic, that why we don't see much leap to PS4, and PS5 is basically the same graphic as PS4. I still remember my jaw was drop seeing God of War 3 demo gameplay on PS3 for the first time. That shit was crazy leap from God of War 2 on PS2

Top 3 most annoying comments on youtube 3rd: "First!" 2nd: "Who's watching this on 2020?" 1st: *"Let's be honest, no one searched this up."* *PLS MAKE IT STAPHHH*

The PS2 sold 1 million units on its first weekend in Japan. Just to put that into perspective, the Nintendo Switch only sold 330,000 units in the same region in its first weekend.
That is insane! As it stands right now Switch beat the PS2 in overall Japanese sales, but didn't beat the initial million units of its 1st weekend...wow! The PS5 is sorta selling well,, not a failure by any means, but it definitely isn't like it used to be, I hope PlayStation can reclaim the Japanese hearts and minds like it did back in the PS1, PS2 and PS3 days, whether that means getting more Japanese developers or my dream, bringing a new handheld to market.
Do you know if the memery card was inside the box of the console or we must buy it separately? If I had seen this commercial on TV the same year it was filmed, I would have started crying because no matter what I did, my father would not buy it for me because he was stingy and to avoid paying money.
So for the Japanese launch of the PS2 one memory card was included with every console because the codes to play DVD playback were inside the memory card. In other words for the initial Japanese units you couldn't play DVD movies without also inserting a memory card. That was corrected by the time the PS2 launch in America and Europe, so no memory card was included and had to be purchased separately, the Japanese ps2 was also later updated to play DVD without needing a memory card.
That smile at 2:28 . There's just such a magical experience as a gamer getting a new console you really want. I was giddy as a kid when I went to pick up my PS5 at Best Buy(I was lucky to get one the first couple weeks it came out). Same thing when I got my PS2 as a kid and my GameCube. Gamecube was probably my favorite - getting it with Smash Bros Melee. Then Sunshine/Wind Waker/Mario Golf Toadstool Tour/Mario Party 5. Final Fantasy X was a literal game changer. The leap in graphical fidelity was incredible. Then GTA - San Andreas was an ultimate banger. Loved playing me the Tiger Woods Games as well and Madden back when Madden was good.

That's how UA-cam works. I still don't understand what's so funny about this comment trend.
YT recommended this video 5 years later lol.
This is the golden era of gaming! No need to pay for premium features on games and online features.

Masks were always popular in japan lol
Time traveller ??? 🤔
That man's back would probably have gone by so many bows.
Yeah probably respect it.
I love how this console was swing able when it came out due to the fact you tell your parents it was one of the cheapest DVD player at the time
yeah so cheap
The Playstation 2 era was freaking amazing!
And now everyone just orders from Amazon and gets it in the mail. I remember waiting in line for like 14 hours for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, great times.
Shit, these days I pre-order a game and get it before release date. I remember staying up to midnight to get a few games.
I still have the special bag they gave me at gamestop for waiting for the game
Amazon it is the best you can order anything in any time
@@waled7564 true هلا
Duuuuude i started waiting at 3am for MW2 in 2009..was first in line. Nothing can replace those days.
Seeing those shiny and brand new boxes put into those bags... Must have been amazing to live that kind of experience.
Gotta admit japan was pretty organized when it came to the release of PlayStation 2 no one going crazy and all the workers keeping their cool and making sure people go in an orderly fashion props to them
Wow, the Japanese were really kind and cooperative.. not starting a riot and organized very well!
It's like no drama what a concept.
There just well educated from a young age

@@gotz1516 he's not wrong, they might not be bad but some games are WEIRD if they're not from some triple A company
For the young one’s . When the PS2 launched it was the cheapest dvd player you can buy at the time.
Damn that blue box brings back so many memories! 😭
I would love to get my hands on a ps2 again the memories i had with that console are unforgettable.
Definitely another era, different players, another way of playing. People were really passionate and each game was appreciated for its true value. The PS2 was my entire childhood.❤
If you’re here, then this was recommended to you as well.

Back then when everyone could get a console!
Kids these days will never experience the true excitement of the beginning gaming consoles coming out
The PS2 sold 1 million units on its first weekend in Japan. Just to put that into perspective, the Nintendo Switch only sold 330,000 units in the same region in its first weekend.
That is insane!
As it stands right now Switch beat the PS2 in overall Japanese sales, but didn't beat the initial million units of its 1st weekend...wow!
The PS5 is sorta selling well,, not a failure by any means, but it definitely isn't like it used to be, I hope PlayStation can reclaim the Japanese hearts and minds like it did back in the PS1, PS2 and PS3 days, whether that means getting more Japanese developers or my dream, bringing a new handheld to market.
0:52 Imagine being that Guy 🤣 saluting every group of people.

Do you know if the memery card was inside the box of the console or we must buy it separately? If I had seen this commercial on TV the same year it was filmed, I would have started crying because no matter what I did, my father would not buy it for me because he was stingy and to avoid paying money.
So for the Japanese launch of the PS2 one memory card was included with every console because the codes to play DVD playback were inside the memory card.
In other words for the initial Japanese units you couldn't play DVD movies without also inserting a memory card. That was corrected by the time the PS2 launch in America and Europe, so no memory card was included and had to be purchased separately, the Japanese ps2 was also later updated to play DVD without needing a memory card.
There's something magical about those playstation boxes. Gets me excited every damn time.
The Golden Era from gaming.

Playstation 2 was an amazing experience growing up. Tekken Tag Tournament, X Squad, Devil May Cry! Damn those Nostalgic feelings
I remember getting one with my own money back in 2000
Una generación donde éramos felices y no lo sabíamos 😢❤️
That smile at 2:28 . There's just such a magical experience as a gamer getting a new console you really want. I was giddy as a kid when I went to pick up my PS5 at Best Buy(I was lucky to get one the first couple weeks it came out). Same thing when I got my PS2 as a kid and my GameCube. Gamecube was probably my favorite - getting it with Smash Bros Melee. Then Sunshine/Wind Waker/Mario Golf Toadstool Tour/Mario Party 5. Final Fantasy X was a literal game changer. The leap in graphical fidelity was incredible. Then GTA - San Andreas was an ultimate banger. Loved playing me the Tiger Woods Games as well and Madden back when Madden was good.
That's Japan，It makes you feel that an ordinary people can live with dignity。
The only day when the hikikomoris come out of their houses...
I remember these days 😢 Especially when Final Fantasy 10 came out.. I remember the gorgeous blue box and all!
