I talk to the majority of my friends, and they said that as soon as the PS3 was released into the wild, they ditched their old PS2s and probably sold them to LameStop (pun intended) to have them sit there and rot on shelves.

I'd never trade in my old PS2! :scared:

I don't see who would. The PS2 is still (as of 2011, possibly 2012) having a stream of developers make games for the system, though all are not worth the buy. Still, there is quite a selection of titles that you will not see on any other platforms (you can take multiplats into account if you do desire to do so).

My old launch-day PS2 that I got for the holidays died a terrible death about a couple of months ago; I actually felt a little depressed about it when the old console passed away... :(

However, I did purchase a used PS2 Slim console, and it has proven reliable ever since the date of purchase (even when my old fatty PS2 was still juggling my discs in and out). I just love the thing; it's a frickin' breakthrough in technology! I mean, only about a fourth of the console is actual computing hardware! :lol:

So to all of you readers out there; who has still kept this amazing game console? :)

I got mine. Looking at it right now. I have the slim and it was and is awesome. Although I use my ps3 more now.
 
I still have mine, but the disc reader is being highly selective at the moment, or, more likely, its stuffed. I think it needs a clean out, but otherwise, still good. Probelm is our controllers are on their last legs, but Sony no longer sell the DS2 controller, and there is no decent PS2 controllers available anymore.
 
I still have a PS2, although it wasn't my first one. I sold mine a while ago, and then felt the need again for it. So I got two pre-owned slim's from Ebgames for only $100 :drool:

It's amazing the prices of PS2 games now, recently I got five classics (two being GT3 and GT4) for only $50.

I am now hunting down all the other games that I played as a youngster, life does comes full circle eh?

I bought a ps2 + God of War 1 & 2 for $30 off some guy a year ago.... It's only a passport to fulfilling my nostalgic urges, but for the most part I'm still using the PS3.
 
I still have my fat PS2, too.

But I only use it for singstar, when getting drunk with some friends. I think, it's saver for my PS3 if we use the old Lady in such condition.

I still have about 20 PS2 games, I never play...but I can't sell them for any reason.
 
Me, but mine doesn't work that good anymore.

And this freaks me out-

I still have my FAT ps2, with 80 gb HDD, network adapter, Modbo 760 chip installed and Free Mc Boot on my memory card. And I'm not intend to sell it :) Because i still have a lot of those fantastic games to finish.

When every of my gaming friends bought PS2 and play new generation games at the time i was the only one who didn't :yuck: somehow i used my pc and after releasing ps3 I've decided to finally buy PS3 and PS2 with less $$ and with every extra content which allowed me to download and play any game i want. So i did :sly:
 
Still have my fat PS2 from 2002. For now it's living it's life in my older brother's room. Don't really need it since my 60GB PS3 can play PS2 games! I did try asking my parents a PS3 for Christmas but they said it was too expensive and I decided to do some summer work for it. The full time work under a 80-90F sun was worth it. Though the PS2 was fun times on an old wooden 22" TV! I remember switching the TV to black and white and playing some games that way just for fun!
 
Still got mine from 2002, got one for Christmas 2001 but the DVD drive died after about 6 months so Sony gave me a new one which still works perfectly to this day.
 
Still got mine. Unfortunately it doesn't run anymore. I placed it gently in my drawer, so many good times.
 
I still have my launch ps2 and it still works perfectly...They clearly don't make game systems like they used to anymore.

I've had to take it apart a few times but the only thing I ever fixed was the all too common Disc Read Error issue (readjust the height of lens, clean lens...done.)

It's the best game system ever made IMO all things considered, or at least it was for its time.
 
Still have the ps2 my wife and I got for a wedding present in 2001. Yes we asked for it.
I also still have in working condition,
2x original nes
Nes that came out and looked like the Super Nintendo.
2x super nes
N64
2x ps1
Another ps2
Wii
2x ps3
2x ds lite
3ds
Some atari thing with 40 preloaded games

I got to many games.

I have a 25x20 room with15 foot ceiling attached to my house that is currently being used for storage. ( built as a furniture store for my mom in the early 80s) Im slowly cleaning it out to build a game room. I also have an endless supply of 27 inch cart tvs available for use. Going to get them all set up along the walls. One corner of the room will be the racing rig, the other will prob have the rock band setup.
Slowly, slowly, slowly getting there.
The biggest problem is going to be kicking my daughters friends out so my friends can play.

I also have a fully functioning MIDWAY GRAN PRIX pinball machine and ping pong table.

Gonna be a busy winter for me.
 
Yh still got mine with over 30 games, been thinking of selling it but not sure if its worth it if ill only get 30 quid for it.

Got loads of classics for it like the gta series metal gear etc but it all looks so terrible on my HD telly that i cant stand playing on it lol

Best console ever for me.

Dont sell it!!! i do it, sold to my friend, for he's son with a lot and the best games... now, i regret :ouch:

Yes, the best console ever!! 👍
 
I've still got mine, although my girlfriend currently has it as she was using it before she got her backwards compatible PS3.
 
Still have mines, because of nostalgia. But I think don't play it as much as the PS3. I've decided to get Kingdom Hearts just for that system.
 
Still got my fatty bought on the UK release day, it's collecting dust in my brothers bedroom now and isn't in the best condition, freezes on some games, wont read others and makes a bit of a racket. Won't get rid of it though!

I've got a Playstation and a PSone stored away somewhere too. :P
 
I still have my PS2 but have not touched it in many years since I got the 360. I still have about 200 burnt games for it sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
 
I've had a "fatty" PS2 since Christmas 2003 and I have never had any major problems with it, despite the fact it once fell onto a wooden board from 1.5 meters above it after a friend tripped over the controller cord (seemingly the only thing that was damaged was the disc that was in the console). I haven't used it much since GT5 was released, although I'll sometimes play GT4 to race on the tracks that were left out of GT5.
 
I had 3 at one point. One of them died, the second one I had I never had issues with but during a laser cleaning a few of the small wire from the laser to the motherboard got broke, and were too small to solder. The 3rd one I have and still do works most of the time. In fact I was just playing it last week =P


Hell, I've still got a Sega, NES and the original PlayStation (Not PS1).
 
I've got;
2 x Origional PS
PS1
PS2 fat
PS2 slim
PS3 launch day 60gb
PS3 80gb

N64
Atari
2 x Sega Mega Drive
Origional xbox
Origional gameboy
Someting that's a keyboard and takes tapes as games, got a car game for it, I know this ones fairly old, but to think we came from this!
And another keyboard thing which takes cartridges.
And loads of those preloaded with games things which you plug into the TV (controller)

Anyone know what the 3rd and 2nd last ones are? I'm not too good with names of these things!

I use my ps3 for all my ps1 and ps2 games so no I don't play the ps2 anymore!

I have 2 of them. I bought one for my 3 year old son for his first console, and then last year I got him a 360. The PS2 just sits there now under a end table. The other one I have someone gave to me a few months ago when they were moving and didn't want to take it with them. Hopefully one day I can get some of my old socom 2 friends together and we can have a littel LAN party.
