DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 How much is this thing actually worth? I've only ever seen the debug kits available for sale but never a dev kit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepKilla 473 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have no idea. I'd ask on reddit and some nerd there can probably tell you. I'm probably the last person here who would ever start a 'collection.' But... I was looking at some images of PS2s and peoples collections online recently. I'm REALLY tempted to pick up an old PS2, CRTV, and get some ps2 games. Do you know how much that would cost, Deano, and any recommendations on where to buy? You use ebay?

Ebay is a good place to pick stuff up honestly, out of hundreds of transactions I've never had any issues with any items or purchases. If you want some TV advice let me know your general area and I can find you an excellent TV online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My only real concern was that if I bought a PS2, wouldn't that be like 10+ years old and therefore likely to die?

How likely are these things to crap out on people in your experience The only issue the PS2 ever had (and it didn't affect all) was disc drive problems in terms of reading but it's not that large of a concern. All of my consoles work, some are 30+ years old. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,052 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 My original PS2 has yet to encounter the DRE issue, but my Super Slim PS2 had it after just a few months. Replaced the entire laser lens assembly thing and it has been working ever since. Luckily its super easy and super cheap to repair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Slim would last, while the Original would die in 3 months literally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All the while my fatboy still chugs along like a dream, also I have it hooked up with the HD Retrovision cables to a high end Toshiba Cinema series CRT and it looks nuts, arcade quality display.

Maybe it's a natural selection type thing? As in, all the faulty fatboys died instantly, and the rest are only the strongest of the strong so they will never die? lmao.

SheepKilla 473 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Fuck man PS2 owns. I can still spend hours playing its games. Better than 90% of today's garbage. I really gotta get me one I'm basically gonna make my house look like this but in PS2 form: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old PS1 went through 1 lens, I had to adjust the pits on the 2nd lens because would only read some PS1 games. adjusting the pits fixed the issue I had with my PS2 not reading movies.

Cooke 2,026 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Maybe you can develop some exclusives with it. But MS will probably buy you out and put them on Switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
