It's a good one, no doubt. Sony's 1 and 3 are also very excellent. The NES and SNES is also very good, and Nintendo's handhelds have some of the best libraries.

PS1 is close, but not really 3 IMO. Playstation 2 literally had anything you wanted. It also had online compatibility. An awesome UI. It also took a huge leap graphically when it was released.

I think PS3 is excellent because it brought in a lot imports without having to mod, and added the PS Store.

Good point, but still had nothing compared to the impact the PS2 had on the market.

PS2 was great because Tp4 haz the Boot-Disc...

I got the Mod-Chip eventually though just like my PS 1..


But overall,  TODAY , it's too painful to play, because of load-times, and Low resolution.

Wish We could hook this thing up to an SSD..

Been meaning to hook mine up with an HHD. I have Free McBoot and the expansion adapter, but need a hard drive. Been dying to play FFXII International.

FFXII is just like  13 and 13-2,  you might as well play 13 and 13,2 on the PC

Also had the HD Loader as a kid with my PS2 used to go to blockbuster rent a game then copy it across, that is until they started adding protection into some games, but the PS2 is still the best console I had and still have!

xbox loaded faster for most things..

It had an 800mhz Celeron which is significantly faster than PS2's Emotion Engine at the time.

LAN was on its way out already..

I played a few online/LAN matches of various FPS but I never had a chance to try out the PS2's online games. At the time I was just learning about fiber optic cables, it was a few years before I knew of DSL. Small town blues.

LAN on its way out pffft, just because you don't go outside doesn't mean outside doesn't exist :p

I remember Tribes on the PS2 was suppose to be the HALO killer, but....that never happened..

PS2 textures are just too blurry, couldn't see much from a distance. and it really just wasn't designed around an ONLINE experience.

the right Ps3 had backwards compatability for 1 and 2, a web browser, the ability to read and play movies from usb, free multiplayer, some awesome games! It might not have had the same impact, but it was definitely close imo.

I would agree with you had they continued backwards compatibility. It was only available for the first models. You can still use PS1 games however.

I think they're churning out fighting games too-quickly..

I get it, make money,    but if you make the rate so quick, how is anyone suppose to truly master the game..

You just can't build a community with such a rate..

Cuz the only playerbase that can keep up with so many new changes are professional gamers..
