    For the most reliable memory card, the official 8MB should work best. I have a larger one since I'm playing a lot of games currently, and haven't had issues (yet)

    I remember my uncle had a PlayStation one for a few years then he got the PS2! I was blown away by what the ps2 was and could do. I asked my parents for one soon after. They said if I do good in school they’d get me one. I did just that! I remember getting home from school and saw the greatest gaming console ever laying on my bed in the box. I immediately hooked it up to my TV. My dad was impressed at how fast I did it (as simple as it may seem now days). I played it all day into the night. I had 2 ps2s in my lifetime the original and the slim.i remember playing Madden 2003 and NBA Live 2003 as my first games on it as a 3rd grade student. This game has brought me so many good memories and nostalgic moments. I recently brought one from a local retro gaming store in my city and I couldn’t be happier. Now at 26 I’m playing it more and buying note games than I ever remember having. I didn’t even know so many games were released for this system. I’m buying every game I had as a kid and some games that I would have liked to have and just didn’t know about. Sony PlayStation was so amazing.

    I was born after the era of the PS2, but last month I picked up a PS2 fat and a couple accessories. I was shocked at how good it looked on my modern TV, especially with an HDMI cable adapter. Managed to pick up some games for under 10 USD a piece, but at some point like with most other 6th gen and older consoles, the supply of games is going to run dry with the amount of nostalgia for these consoles there is lately (nostalgia is quite an emotion!). I haven't had this much fun on consoles in a long time. Long live the PS2!

    Out of the consoles I collect for (which is most), my PS2 collection "used to be" the largest (over 200). Now it's PS4.
    Thankfully, I bought *most* of my games back when they came out, so I paid the "then" normal price (or cheaper). I did pay a bit extra for some Saturn games, such as Panzer Dragoon Saga. Anyhow, I have several "favorite" PS2 games, but some faves off the top of my head are, *Summoner 1 & 2, Shadow Hearts 1 & 2, & Drakan: The Ancient's Gates.* + more.

    The thing is, it's only worth collecting NTSC PS2 games since they're 60hz. Us PAL guys got screwed. PCSX2 personally is the only way to enjoy PS2 nowadays especially with higher resolution

      I remember many PAL PS2 titles supported 60hz, I even bought a special SCART RGB cable to play them on my CRT back in the day (without it they were black and white)

    You should get a RetroTink 5x for your older consoles to upscale them properly and convert them to HDMI

    I love my PS2 and 3. I would like to get a good upscaler but the prices are holding me off. I rather spend that money on the collection.

    At the controller part it didn't was weird for me because I do it too. If I have to play with my brothers controller I rather not play with the Playstation. So that's a normal thing for me too

    I think the pandemic is the reason for the massive rise of price. Pretty much any collecting hobby has been ruined because of that. It also doesn’t help that game stores have bottom prices, meaning, no matter how obscure it is it’s no less than X price.

      Same. I put FMCB on a Memcard Pro 2. That paired with a 1tb SSD, I have just shy of 300 games on my fat PS2!

    I don’t know if it’s just the rubber of the analog stick’s degrading over time but my ps3 and ps2 controllers also suffer from that stickiness you mentioned and I don’t understand how they would get that way.

    Get an S video, component or RGB scart cable and a compatible CRT TV.
    You owe it to yourself.
    The cheap HDMI adapters aren't great. Especially on a 55 inch OLED.
