PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 is a sixth generation home video game console developed by Sony and first released on 2000-03-04, and the second console in the PlayStation line. The PlayStation 2 uses DVD as its primary medium for games and can also play them as video discs. The system is also mostly backward compatible with the original PlayStation.
Personal
Despite the PlayStation 2 being the most popular console of the sixth generation (and holding the best selling console of all time for quite awhile), I played almost nothing on it and know very little about the system. This is primarily because it came out long after I was a die-hard gamer. In 2000, I was far more interested in women and retro games to bother shelling out for the latest console. While I understand this means I also missed out on a lot of fantastic games, I still find it hard to justify the cost. I'll probably get more involved with it if I ever bother to try it out with emulators.
I do not own a PlayStation 2 and have only played games on it a couple of times.
