Im looking for a cheap console to get and collect for that dosent cost a arm/leg but also isint boring with the game section. I have a few consoles and handhelds from when i was a kid but i want something that i can stick with and not let collect dust?
What would you suggest or advise and why so?
You can install an ssd on a ps2 and load more than half of its library onto it. Last year I paid $70 for a used ps2 at a flea market so they’re definitely still out there
This is a great suggestion. PS2 had some great games, the graphics were good enough that, while they obviously look dated today, it’s not difficult to play, and it’s still recent enough that the hardware is affordable.
PS2 has remained surprisingly cheap over the years. I think the only reason it’s so cheap is because the OG PS3s are also a PS2 but with an HDMI port and wireless controllers. And those things keep creeping up in value. Too bad they’re so damn unreliable. PS2s on the other hand seem to be rock solid.
Fat model?
Fat model. There’s also an sd card enabled memory card for sale so you should technically be able tofreemcboot a slim and load the games on flash storage
Yeah I’m also looking for a PS2 with network extension for the drive. But I firstly need to find a CRT, I’m tired to play with shaders to get a decent experience.
My last tv with analog input died a few years ago and I recently gave up on trying to find a crt. I’m waiting for the right time to buy a retrotink.
I really like what the shaders community is doing but these setups-time and expensive retro-hardware makes my just wanna find the first crt I can in a random vintage market, more faithful and less expansive.
