    2) If I look away during the startup screen, the game is more likely to work.
    3) PS2 slim lasts longer.
    4) Don't leave your Memory-card around your friends, take it with you to the toilet if you have to, because these fuckers will erase its content as a prank.
    5) Make sure your memory-card is still in your house after your guests leave, because some people's parents never bought memory-cards for their kids.

    Oh god, one of my most heartbreaking PS2 moments:
    So at my house we would always use my mom's nail polish remover and a q-tip to clean the game discs when they didn't want to play right, and it worked GREAT.
    So one day I brought my copy of Kingdom Hearts 2 (a most beloved game) over to my friends house to play. It had seen some heavy use, and hadn't been cleaned in some time, and didn't want to play right. So I had my friend go get his mom's nail polish remover and a q-tip (a trick he had never heard of) and started cleaning the disc...
    ...
    ...
    Only for it to get cloudier the more I cleaned...
    ...
    ...
    Apparently his mom used a different kind of polish remover, and it ATE AWAY AT THE TOP LAYERS OF THE DISC! The game was ruined, and I was heartbroken, because I was NOT one of those rich kids, and it would be at least a few months before we'd be able to afford another copy of the game.
    If you read this far, thanks!!!

    -Being able to play ps2 and ps1 games on the console
    -Played dvds
    -played music
    -Controllers were basically indestructible and simple to hold
    -The little icons on the memory card screen(look at those for hours as a kid)
    - the little ps logo on the ps2 could rotate
    - that error screen
    - that startup screen
    - that main menu screen
    - when ur disc was so scratched up and after constant cleaning to PlayStation 2 logo pops up and than u wait on the black screw. Crossing ur fingers the game will work this time
    - Ran the game 90% of the time even if it was beyond deep scratches
    - playing rpgs like final fantasy and kingdom hearts and forgetting to save
    - not having enough space on memory card so I would literally cry because I had to delete one if my game data's
    - it actually got me and my family to play together
    -Internet was limited so when u had internet to look up cheats for games u would write them down on a piece of paper
    - SOOO MANY GAAAAMES
    RPGS, PLATFORMERS, SHOOTERS, FIGHTERS, RACERS, HORROR, HACK N SLASH...IT HAD IT ALL
    I love the ps2 and I appreciate it so much for Introducing me to the world of gaming

    Back when I was a kid the disc drive eject gave out, being the industrious ( or terrible little shit I was, I took everything apart...) I took the ps2 apart, took the lid off, the cover to the disc bay off, and put the disc in manually with only the white plastic magnet to keep the disc in place. For months it worked... until during my first playthrough of Kingdom Hearts my friend got up to get a drink, tripped on the controller cable, which dislodged the disc and it went flying across the garage floor destroying the surface. I found the ps2 a few weeks ago and it still works... god I loved my ps2.

      Jacob Molyneux that's mainly because of game models and textures. Today's weekly updates for the most don't make any change to those things, and in fact those are actually burned on the disks. Updates usually fix bugs and security. Once upon a time, bugs were 99% fixed before the game launch and so was security. And those little harmless bugs that were found months or years after the release, were just really funny to exploit. Also, many PS2 games are 5/8 GBs big.
