I wonder if that’s why it’s noisy? And yeah, I didn’t mention that it could play DVD’s, and I never used it for that, but it’s neat that it can. I heard you must buy something extra to play DVD’s on the XBox. How mean. The PS2 could do anything. It could play PS2 games, PS1 games, DVD’s, CD’s I think.

And it’s silly the PS3 won’t play PS2 games anymore. It’s quite a shame, as I believe the PS2 has a better selection of games than the PS3. Luckily, my PS2 works great still and honestly, even if the PS3 could play PS2 games, I wouldn’t want to never use the PS2 again. So in all possibility, even if the PS3 played the games, I’d probably still use the PS2 for PS2 games because I love it so.

And perhaps consoles can hold grudges. My XBox acts up for a few days when I first play it after it’s been ignored for a while, then all of a sudden it works perfectly fine for months. I think it senses that it’s my least favorite….

The PS2 is a really, really great machine, It was the first console that we ever replaced with itself…er, I mean, we ran or original PS2 into the ground. When it finally and sadly died we got a slim PS2. We still have the slim PS2, though it doesn’t work very well anymore. And unlike yours, ours is loud. Last time we pulled it out, its weezed its way through a game.

But there was no arguing with the PS2’s power and versatility. Many of it’s games were very pretty, like FFX and Kingdom Hearts.. And the fact that it was also a DVD player AND could play PS1 games…well, say no more! I’d gladly hand over all the money for that now! (That fact that our new PS3 is not backwards compatible is still supremely disappointing.)

We had some wonderful years with the PS2, and maybe we’ll have more in the future. I bet it’s noisy cause its mad that we don’t bring it out very often. Can a console hold a grudge? Maybe it just needs a good cleaning.
