- After seeing that GameStop will actually refurbish older retro systems before shipping them out, I decided to order a refurbished PS2 console from them to see how it would arrive. Today we will unbox what they sent me and test it out.

*Fun fact for those interested:* The PS2 controller he has is definitely legit, and RARE, and it's actually kind of a collectible. It's controller model SCPH-10520 and is basically a DualShock 2 controller with the rumble motors removed. The timelines here are a little fuzzy to lock down, but for some time in 2006 Sony sold these controllers in blue packaging with the notice "DOES NOT SUPPORT VIBRATION" printed on them. The controllers themselves were cheaper than DualShock 2 controllers so most people thought Sony was introducing budget-friendly peripherals to the market. But in reality this was all due to a lawsuit with a company called Immersion over the vibration function of the DualShock controller. Sony was able to keep selling the DualShock 2 while they had an appeal under review with the court, but they actually lost their first appeal in 2006 which is why these controllers were released, and filed a new appeal with federal court. If anyone here remembers correctly, the original PS3 launched in 2006 with the SIXAXIS controller which also had its vibration functionality removed. Sony eventually settled the lawsuit in March of 2007 with Immersion and was granted the right to continue to use the vibration technology/design. That same year at a press conference in Japan Sony announced the DualShock 3 controller, which was essentially a SIXAXIS PS3 controller with the rumble motors put back in to it (lol, right?). Sony released the DualShock 3 controller in North America in 2008. For some reason a lot of people don't remember the rumbleless time period between 2006-2009. Even I forgot about it until I did this little research after seeing this video. When Sony released the PS3 Slim in 2009 (the one most of us had and remember) it came standard with a DualShock 3 controller, and since then we've had uninterrupted vibration functionality. So if you think about it, the controller he has in this video (and for anyone else who has one) could be considered a collectible because it was made only for a specific reason and had a short lifespan.
It's Just Ryan I have that controller soo how much can I sell it for
@@ItsLynch1
$1billion
I remember this, I still have my Launch PS3 Sixaxis controllers to this day.
Ha, I was just about to write that. 100% you go ryan
@April Lambert You need some proper manners dude
The last wave of the PS2 controllers had the haptic feedback removed as a consequence of the patent lawsuit with Immersion and Sony not wanting to pay the licensing for the PS2. The rumble-free version should have a different model number on the bottom.
Yep, this all happened around when the original ps3's came out with the sixaxis controller that didn't have rumble either.
After the patent litigation with Immersion Corporation ended (Microsoft settled out of court much earlier while Sony continued in the court system which is why the 360 controller always had rumble), Sony later released the dualshock 3 and continued sales of the dualshock 2.
And this moron talks like he's the smart guy and gamestop employees are beneath him. He isn't that smart
Donald Salkovick damn the hate is real
I should have read the comments a bit before posting about this exact reason. cause you said it better than me. noie work
@@donaldsalkovick396 self esteem issues ?
I'm assuming from the comments calling this video clickbait that people expected him to say he got something totally opposite from what he ordered? All it takes is watching a couple other videos of his from the series to find out that the point is to show the quality and contents of what they end up selling so people know.
Really not too hard of a series to understand, and definitely not clickbait.
He words it specifically for those views man. The more new people who get clickbaited the more money in his pocket. The “...” creates drama
I’d argue that the difference between SpawnWave doing this and other TH-camrs doing it is that most other TH-camrs would bait you into a low-effort, obnoxious video. SpawnWave will bait you into a well-made, high-quality video that while it doesn’t have anything too crazy like videos in the past, it was still nice and informative
Exactly. I'm not a regular viewer of this channel so yes I did find this video title to be clickbait because it does lead you to think he ordered a PS2 yet got something else. Like it or not, that's definitely the assumption such a title leads to if you arent familiar with spawnwave.
You guys are idiots
That's what everyone likes these days, no drama no tragedy, then low ratings.

Conspiracy theory time. GameStop has taken note of you and is making sure to send you deluxe examples of their retro selection.
Haha, that's what I was saying on his last unboxing video. I wish I had that kind of luck from them
With game stop it is mostly luck of the draw
If that was the case he woulda got duelshock in his controller.
I don't think it is a conspiracy, I think it is 100% correct. Unless he is buying and shipping these to himself without any trace coming back to him, They are cherry picking what they send him making sure he gets the best stuff.
He got a DualAnalog 2. I didnt know that existed.
That's not your average GameStop refurbish. It's GameStop PREMIUM refurbished.
This comment cured my sadness and i dont know why
So do you have to get lucky or do you select it and it ends up being more?

Noticed right away,
I have a ps2 controller that doesn't have any rumble motor in it so maybe there were some made
I have a feeling that controller was made after Sony lost the lawsuit over that rumble motor patent.
Pretty sure if it's an SCPH-10520 that's exactly what it is.
It looks like late run PS2 slim didn't have rumble due to some legal problems regarding the technology. Seemingly rare controller.

Controller model is SCPH-10520, released around 2006/2007. Sony announced at E3 2006 that it would remove the rumble feature from the PS3 controllers because of "interference with motion controls". In actuality Immersion's lawsuit against Sony considering haptic feedback was the cause for this, as proven by this rumble-less PS2 controller, which appeared at the same time.
No one else stopped rumble. No excuse for Sony doing this.
@@common_c3nts They had an excuse, they lost the lawsuit. Microsoft settled with Immersion, but Sony continued the fight and they lost in 2006, having to pay around $90m. Even so, they ate humble pie and a year later they announced would apply Immersion tech in their upcoming hardware revisions (costing them another $50m or so in old and new license fees).
@@custardo Yep, I remember this, because the Japanese PS3's had rumble. I remember importing a Japanese PS3 controller so I could have rumble for the MLB the Show games.
@@common_c3nts it is an excuse as everyone else settled. Btw explanations are not excuses. Big difference
@@custardo I find it odd they lost that. Rumble was in everything. Commercial aircraft had it. Pagers and Nokia phones all had rumble. Nintendo had rumble. Even robot controllers as far back as 1950s had it. Sega's arcade game had rumble it in 1976. TX-1 had it in 1983 for a racing game.
But if their shitty lawyers could not make a good argument then they should have just settled, it is the customers that pay for it anyways, not sony.
This series amongst others that you have done has quickly became a favorite of mine. It's probably because i can't see myself doing this at all but you also break it down very nicely, and it's well paced and overall really enjoyable ! Keep up the great work Spawn !
Mine too. He isn't one of the annoying obnoxious ones, he is educated on what he talks about and i feel like channels like this will kinda open people's eyes to GameStop being iffy / crappy most times which in turn will make GameStop want to do a better job especially since they are trying to sell the company if I'm remembering right.
@@idlehour Exactly Spawn doesnt ramble on and on about random irrelevant details and the educated part really helps lol.
Its great because even he was professionally educated to educate us 👍
He’ll run out of systems sooner or later
I disagree. Very boring. Dude literally just shows a ps2 slim for 10 mins.
From what I remember, there was an official version of the PSOne Analog controller that didn't have haptics. They were fairly quickly superceded by the DualShock1.0 controller and then later DualShock2.0 on the PS2, which wasn't all that much different in terms of design.
Yes, there was an Official PS2 Controller without Dualshock capabilities around 2008 (from my research) and it didn't have rumble for the reason that Sony had to temporarily stock stores with tweaked controllers to dodge licence fees when it comes to vibration but swiftly got the licence for vibration back so they could continue the manufacturing process for Dualshock 2 controllers.
Remember when the PS3 was first released, Sony was hit with a lawsuit from a company stating that the rumble mechanism was their creation; not Sony's. The lawsuit claimed that Sony was using the rumble feature without compensating the company. Thus, the 1st round of PS3 controllers only had SixAxis controls and NO rumble feature. A few months later, the lawsuit was settled and Sony released the PS3 controller with SixAxis & rumble feature.
All that said, I wonder if Sony was still making PS2 controllers at the time and had to remove the rumble feature in them?
Well, PS2 was manufactured until the end of 2012, so it is very well possible that they had to modify the dualshock 2 as well because of that lawsuit.
@@paolocazzaniga8735 No Gamestop makes there own controllers and lie and say its a Sony one
I was always under the impression. That the rumble was removed because they thought the rumble would disrupt the SixAxis functionality.
You are (partially) correct about the first paragraph but not the second one. That controller is a knock-off most likely from Asia.
I remember the lawsuit, but I am thinking there may have been another thing with the PS2. Not everyone liked the rumble feature when it came out - I was one of those, and actually looked for controllers that did NOT have the rumble feature. Nowadays, it doesn't bother me, but some of those early rumble features were just poorly implemented by games, and I would have controllers shake out of my hands sometimes. The rumble feature added to the cost. I remember there being 3rd parties that offered controllers without the rumble feature for people like me, which cut down on the price of the controlers, but I cannot remember if Sony did or not. I do remember taking apart a Playstation controller before to fix it and it looking exactly like that, with no rumble packs, but I don't remember which system that was, but I am guessing it was a PS2 Slim because I remember picking up Kingdom Hearts 2 day one and I seem to recall having issues with my PS2 controller buttons being mushy, and I just spent all my money on the game and didn't have any money to replace the controller.
So yeah, I don't recall the exact details, but that controller and its innards look very familar to me.
I bet GameStop loves these videos you do.
Theyve probably started watching for Shawn's orders now. The first couple videos were grab bags, but the working recent refurb ps2? The cherry n64 controller? His lucks not THAT good lol
Omg its Stevie Richards!
Yes I’m sure when he pick and chooses what products to show and loves to show poor ones.
They are not always so nice.
He gives them hate when they deserve it..
I would recommend placing tape on the door lock on the door closed detector. This is a common problem with the PS2 Slim if your system does not read discs. Mine had this problem, and this fixed it.
@9:40 Yes, there are 3 PS2 discs, CD-Rom, DVD-Rom and DL-DVD-Rom.

>Gamestop Employee: We got another order from Spawnwave, time to breakout the good stuff.

Sony made those cheap controllers as an alternative to the Dual Shock ones. They are quite common and sold for like $25 back in the day vs the $40 Dual Shock controllers. Not sure how youve not seen one before.
Yup! I can also confirm this as I had one as the 2nd player controller.
Word, dude must be a fucking idiot
@@SunriseReaper3 lol it's not that serious
I've never seen or heard of them either.
@@cookingsauce8274 Exactly, how many times has he stated that he used to repair consoles and handhelds. And given how he knows so much about certain repairs on certain systems it's believable.
As soon as he flicked that stick on the N64 controller I let out an audible “Oooh!” sound. That’s a rarity with those old controllers and it brought back fond memories
I noticed each of PS2 games you tested were stored in sleeves. Even the one inside the plastic case. Do you normally store them in sleeves, within the hard case?

there was a specific model of PS2 slim that came with 2 non-rumble controllers. My wife's parents bought one around 2007 - 2008 and I thought it was so weird that they had no rumble feature.
So I skipped the intro
And though they send him a n64 instead of a ps2
Kind of clickbaity.
I ordered a refurbished PS2... and got a working ps2.
I don't think that's clickbait
Bangin' Badger Bangin' Badger it’s definitely clickbaity... it’s walking that line a little too closely.
The wording of the title alludes to him not getting what he paid for.
It’s no different that if I said “ I ordered a big Mac from McDonald’s, but you won’t believe what was in the bag”... Only for there to have been exactly what I ordered with no deviations.
Why couldn’t he have just said “I ordered a refurbished PS2 from GameStop... And it’s not bad” ?
It’s definitely more subtle than some of the overtly blatant click bait that a lot of other youtubers will use, but it’s there.
The entire purpose of saying *“… And this is what they sent me”* is to keep peoples interest piqued throughout the video because they’re expecting something more/unusual/different.
So you end up watching more of it expecting some big surprise, or omission than you would have if you had known it wasn’t going to be anything but what he ordered.
@@quiettimegaming3642 it's how TH-camrs attract clicks, it's almost standard for all TH-camrs these days. It triggers someone's curiosity and pulls them into the video to see what happened. I really don't blame him because he isn't one of those big channels that attract the lowest common denominator (kids) in to watch videos on fortnite. You have to have a title that draws the eye of people who arnt subscribed to the channel, who may be curious to see what he got when he ordered the ps2. If it was labeled as 'i ordered a ps2 from GameStop... And it was ok' then there would be no curiosity about the contents of the video and the user may pass the video by. I don't like clickbaity titles but it's just how the system works, regardless of if it's a video or a news article, they all have titles like this to get you to click to find out more.
Joshua Willoughby I wouldn’t say that it’s standard for all youtubers and channels. I wouldn’t even say it’s standard for most channels.
But over the past year or so I have admittedly been seeing that intentionally vague and clickbaity wording more than ever before. But that’s just and excuse to justify misleading or crappy actions.
Saying “everyone else is doing it” is never an acceptable justification for doing something that you know is wrong.
On top of that, if you’re willing to click bait it shows that you are willing to sacrifice long term viability and respect in exchange for a few extra clicks now. Because while he maybe a younger/smaller channel now… He won’t be forever, these kind of things won’t be forgotten, and like every other TH-camr that does stuff like this, one day someone is going to make a video and call him out for all of his instances of lies and click bait and misleading his audience over the years…
And everyone will just hop all over it because people love to be outraged.
You can see MatPat going through that exact same thing right now, where everyone’s calling him out for anything he’s ever done… And even things he didn’t, all Because people felt he used a misleading title and thumbnail for his recent HeartBound video. And things started snowballing from there.
In fact I would argue more of the opposite position. Where, *if everyone is doing something, why not stand out by being the only person who isn’t?*
The reality is that good content doesn’t need to click bait. And there was nothing wrong with this video, meaning the clickbait wasn’t unnecessary.
@@joshuawilloughby2696 so, in many less words, click-bait.

Yes, they are the same but they don't share the same shipping practices. @@hellokevan7782
there was different versions of the ps2 slim. the ones where the whole left part of the top was glossy, not just the stripe in the middle, had their poweradaptor integrated, so just a 2 pole power cable coming out of the system straight into the wall, no trafo box in between.
I believe the controller that you received is a Japanese PS1 Analog Controller, which came out over there before the original Dualshock 1. It didn't feature rumble but was identical in every other way, and it came in black. It did not indicate any label next to the shoulder buttons like the DS2 did later.
The PS2 controller is legit.
They were cheaper because they were without the rumble. A lot of people, myself included, never liked the rumble so that was a good alternative to save some cash and have a nice legit controller.
The DualAnalog 2!
I agree. playing with a third party controller was nearly impossible. everything about a playstation controller is perfect, especial when worn in.
And even the difference in weight when you play the version without rumble is so lightweight more you play with it more you appreciate how lightweight it is
@@nabilelmaniaa6581 imagine being so limp-wristed that you have to use a light-weight PS2 controller, lmao
What about a video about all the build differences between all the PS2 SKUs?
thats a massive list and a lot of consoles
That would take hours, dude.
Spoiler Alert: They sent him a Refurbished PS2
Thanks for saving me 15 minutes
Slim
There are three types of PS2 disc - blue back, silver back, and gold back. The gold ones are dual layer DVDs, and a lot of the failures with the PT1 up to like PX3 fat models were with those gold discs. God of War is one that comes to mind.
Chances are the PS2 was bought at the end of its lifecycle and hardly used or bought mainly as a dvd player
Never thought of that, though it makes sense since I bought a used slim PS3 from an owner that said it was mainly used to play blu-ray movies. And sure enough it's in great condition, barely any scratches even on the glossy parts.
If it was the 90001 (left side glossy with internal power supply) probably, but a way older, 79001, no way, probably the previous owner really took care of it before having to sell on a hard situation
Me that’s worse if it was only used as a DVD player
@@User-ge7ni a 10001 would make total sense since remember, the PS2 was for years the cheapest DVD player and was advertised as such
Lol, people were buying them as dvd players at launch, and what a shitty dvd player they were.
There were some early ps2 controllers that didn’t have rumble motors. I remember my very first ps2 the original model didn’t have any rumble motors but looked like a DualShock 2, and was jealous when my parents bought my sister a ps2 slim and hers came with a DualShock 2 with rumble motors
What it could be, there is a black version of the original “analog” controller that came before the dualshock which looked just like it, which shipped with early ps2 like mine, and later ps1, it looked just like DualShock 2s. That’s what it might be
Yep. You could also pick them up brand new for like £10 cheaper than the rumble version, too. Amazing how much this confused him... lol
Bluenose Bear well to be fair the analog controller that came with later ps1 and early ps2s got replaced with DualShock 2s early on really quick. So not a lot of people knew about it
@@ultramagnushurts It's surprising it happened at all given that there's a number of games that actually require the Dual Shock 2, and having owned both the PS1 and PS2 the Dual Shock 1 did come with rumble. It was an answer to the analogue and rumble compatible N64 controller after all. I digress, the DS2 actually had touch sensitive buttons which could trigger different actions based upon how hard they were pressed. While this wasn't commonly implemented it was necessary to progress in some games, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time being a good example of this as it had a late dungeon where the puzzles required this feature.
flarpman2233 that’s true. I’m not sure why Sony did it at all tbh either. I was 10 when I got it and remember it vividly, and I have it somewhere in my attic boxed away. I know a lot of the FPS didn’t differentiate between the analogue and the DualShock but I do remember some games had to have a DualShock and I had to breakdown and spend my allowance to buy one.
How did your get old consoles from game stop I’ve been on there website and can’t find it
At least in europe, one of the wildest things I seen was very late revisions of Slim PS2 that has "the Figure eight" going straight to the Slim console itself, so they even packed a internal power transformer to the slim's shell aside rest of the slimmed down PS2. These revisions are though so late that they are immune to memory card based FreeMCboot homebrew solutions and probably most resistant to modchip installations making them a bit less desirable for playing backups or imports...
PS2 will forever be my favorite console. My original fat version lasted 14 years before it gave in I bought a silver slim to replace it. I have my original standing on a top wall shelf by itself. I remember when it came out thinking how cutting edge the DVD player on it was. All the great games it had. Never had as much fun on any console as the PS2. And I don't think I ever will.
You're lucky. Part of the reason it sold so well is that they tended to break.
Intended to break? Humor my arrogance and elaborate?
Fearless ML Tended, not intended. Different words.
@@LeeJayBird21 Ay. Nevertheless, I'm confused on the usage, I mean I've never heard of a console that was invincible.

On the controller without the rumble motors, those were out around the first year of the PS3, the non-rumbles were made since Sony was facing a patent case that could have caused them to not be able to import rumble controllers, one to the key reasons the PS3 original controller didn't have rumble. The Non-rumbles came in a Christmas Bundle back in 2007 as a second controller.

I've been trying to order a PS2 from Gamestop for months. Their website always lists them as 'not available online', so how'd you manage to get one?
They were in stock for a small amount of time just recently. I'm as disappointed as you
Try ordering directly from the store. That's how I ordered mine. Mine actually works pretty well, but I ordered the fat model.
@Nonya Biznes do you think that Müller has a refurbished ps2? All I know is that they usually only have new stuff like the switch, don't know where to get a refurbished one here...
@Nonya Biznes probably in vienna but not in St. Pölten where I live. We only have a Gamestop. We also have a media Markt and Müller and libro, these stores only sell new consoles and games unfortunately...
@Jessie Jonez we don't even have that here man, is that a store in Amerika?
When a person isn't smiling in a thumbnail for a GameStop video i'm doubtful. This video was great. Well done man.
I remember Sony losing a lawsuit over rumble. That is probably an official controller that had to remove the rumble motors.
I think the PS2 controller without rumble is a scph-10520, which is a PS2 controller with analoge sticks and no dualshock.
Also, thanks for the great series!
From browsing an older-ish (08') message board, it seems that Wal-mart was also selling those PS2 controllers. from what they described on the board it also had places for the rumble motor housing
PS2 was the first home console in which I convinced my dad to buy me at 13 years old. I still remember playing nfs underground 1 and never getting tired of it! My favorite game on the PS2 would probably be Smackdown vs. Raw 2007

Me: “reads title”
Me: a refurbished PS2?
i just did some research and i believe what you got is called the "dual analog controller" which is actually a ps1 controller produced in 97 and 98 then discontinued and superseded by dualshock 2 when the ps2 came out. the is an article on wikipedia called "dual analog contoller" which is where i am getting this info from.
When you repaired PS2 slims, have you ever encountered some that left a ring around discs? I'm noticing that my old ps2 slim is doing that now. I think from some videos I found it says that the ribbon for the laser is coming up and scratching the disc. A solution is to bend the ribbon down, but in your video, you said that if you bought a laser replacement that ribbon would be taped down. Thoughts and solutions?
I'm so happy that he chose to use Jak and Daxter to test. In my top 3 favorite franchises ever.
10:40 I'm pretty sure I remember a couple of my PS2 controllers didn't have the dualshock or vibrate. It feels so long ago haha.
for the ps1, how did you replace the lazer?. Was it the whole lazer module, or did you replace the eye component?
That's definitely a legit controller. For around 2 years Sony was fighting a lawsuit and couldn't use the rumble functionality
The OCD in me is freaking out about the boxes in the back. lol
I still don't understand the idea of sticking boxes on the wall ???

Tiago Martinelli haha
The PS2 slim controller was still a Dualshock as far as I remember.
The difference was the finish, the original felt very oily, while the slim was rougher.
Possibly I was just comparing newer controllers to used ones but that's what I remember.
for a little time when the PS2 came out the controllers stopped having the rumble motors but brought it back after heavy negative feedback. I think it had something to do with a patent
I got a refurbished ps2 from gamestop as a kid and I accidentally stepped on the disc drive, it still works fine the silver part on the front is just not on that great and DVDs show a black square on the screen

I went to out to find a ps2 this is what I discovered... 😀 It works it was 15$ and it's almost brand new fat model
I've had better luck with fat models than slim
What store? I been trying to find them for a while. It was a offline store you drive to as well correct?
I have a Phat Launch day PS2 and the second revision Phat PS2 with the extension on the back
The Phat PS2's are the best because you can hack them and use the HDD expansion to hold all your games
@Taylor Frost What store? Online, offline?
Awesome video what would you recommend for playing the ps2 on modern HD TV's
I really want a PS2 slim 9000 model, not the 7000 one, but the problem is most online retailers don't specify which model they have. The only obvious external difference is the power brick on the 7000 (the 9000 has an internal power supply) but the pictures usually don't show that.
I remember seeing ps1 non-dual stick controllers once.

Gamestop only cleans but doesnt fix their "refurbished" consoles
That's better than nothing. I once bought "refurbished" computer and console and they were full of dust.
They could also have replaced laser lenses on many of them since they do go out after time
What model did you receive? Were you able to select between fat or slim? Does that particular slim model play DVD9 dual layer games?
I still have my PS2 slim from when it launched & I've probably played close to 2,000 discs in it & quite possibly even more ( combination of DVD, CD, & games ) & it still works. If it stopped working tomorrow I wouldn't complain. I got way more than my money's worth from that console.
The ps2 controller is official, when I the ps2 bundle brand new back in the day it came with 2 controllers and one of them was lighter and felt cheaper
I got the same 2-controller bundle at launch. One with the motors and one without.
True but it said Sixaxis on the top which this didnt have on it for some reason, maybe it was rubbed off or something? >_O
No, they are not official. Sony never made rumbleless DualShock, otherwise they won't be called DualShock if it was rumbleless. What they were is knock-off controller commonly from Asia.
@yelsew82 Except that the Sixaxis only works on the PS3 & PS4. Not for PS2.
@@KillRei Yeah you're right I was thinking about the ps3 >_
The last couple years of PS2 came without dualshock because SONY lost the licensing for the technology and thats why the PS3 launched with no dualshock. This should have been obvious.
Wip3ou7 really? That’s crazy!
Yeah the original ps3 paddle wasn't dualshock 3
Seeing the title, I can only think of the dollar store dad saying “It’s GameStop, how good can it really be?”
Hey! I need some advice on fixing my ps2 controllers. I have 1 controller where the left analog stick feels broken. If im pressing up on the stick and then click the button, it feels like whatever is holding it is broken, like I have to press extra hard on it for the button to click. And I have another controller where the sticks work, but none of the face buttons work and the d pad doesnt work. Help?
I have ordered a few consoles from GameStop and they have always been working and in good condition. Disc based games can be hit or miss, but the systems have always been nice.
Who else thought they sent him a Nintendo controller instead of the ps2 😂🤣
You should also try dual layer dvd games, like Rogue Galaxy. I've had refurb consoles from gamestop fail to read a dual layer dvd game until I tapped the system on the bottom as it tried to read the disc, and it unstuck something.
Fu fact the tape you see on the ribbon often, it's not to get it out of the way of the optical pickup, it's so the ribbon doesn't pop up too gmhigh and scratch the disc, we see that very often in PS2 slims.
I love how his facial expression always looks like they sent him a box of moldy cat shit in the thumbnail. Insta-click every time...
Lmaoooooo I am rolling at this comment

These videos are always fascinating to watch..
I've found a few PS2 systems in the trash, including two slim models. One had a jack for the power supply like you showed, but the other one had the figure-8 connector right on the back of the console.
Hi I’m a game collector and I’m wondering do the game disc have scratches on them or do they use a disc resurface and it have no scratches on the disc
I still have my PS2 and play RE with it and Constantine
I believe there was a time that Sony was infringing on a patent for the rumble feature and did not want to pay for the use of it. They tried to go without it but the negative feedback from consumers and eventually folded and brought it back.
Gabby that was with the PS3 around 2006/07. Not with the PS2.
actually pretty sure this is a ps1 controller called "dual analog controller" produced from 97-98
@@MsPokemonsoulsilver to me it looks more like an actual fake cheap controller from ebay... And yeah I only remember PS3 Sixaxis not having rumble and later they added rumble to the other produced controllers Dual Shock 3...
@@guily6669 around '07 they made on called "PS2 Analog Controller". I got them for $10 new in 2009 so that's how I was able to afford 4 player gameplay at that time!
@Chaotic7977 well, there was a black PS1
I used to take out the rumble motors on my remotes all the time! I always turned off the toggle anyway in game. Then I just got used to the light weight controller.
Why did u take.out the motors?
Purchased one of these refurbished PS2 slims from GameStop this week - in part based on watching your video. Mine turned out to be not as clean - but not too bad. The controller was a dual-shock fairly worn - but useable. The system works - plays PS2 games fine. PS1 games, not so well. Some appear to work, but then simply stop. Some don't play at all. Guessing its the laser. Will probably replace it with a new one. Enjoyed the video.
It's clean and the stick feels good. All a man really wants to hear at the end of the day.
Just got 2 N64 controllers from GameStop and both work perfect
Careful with buying the controllers from the online store especially. I have taken fakes in to the store to see if they would take them and they will. I have also received fakes from the warehouse. When I returned the fake in store and explained why it was fake, they put it on the shelf to sell. Someone else bought the fake dualshock 4 and ended up returning it because it did not work. The warehouse quality control is pretty poor...
Ive got 2 paddles without dual shock its easy to figure out just take a old broken paddle and open it up and pull the drums and transfer them into it
You'll notice that when u play PS2 CD-ROMs, the PS2 vibrates.
This series is basically, "I got what I ordered from GameStop".
Ever thought a previous owner took the vibration out of the controller? Done it to my Xbox one controller and it makes shit so much nicer to hold
About the PS2 controller, before Sony made the DualShocks for the original Playstation, they first tried with the Dual Analog Controller (SCPH-1180), which didn't have any rumble feature, and actually it served as a predecessor to the original DualShock... it could be one of those, but I've never seen any one of those in black colour.
Try getting a Ds lite I recently bought one from in store and its needing a new battery and a new stylus because the stylus for it was for a 3ds I assume
You may be able to find a pack of extra styluses on Amazon or at a local game shop. I always got extras when I got a new version of ds. If you recently got this one, I'd let gamestop know they had the wrong stylus and they may be able to get you one especially if you're nice to the people working there. They could just take the one you got and give you the right one. If the battery doesn't work they may be able to swap the one you got out for a working ds lite.
It was thing back then I remember not having rumble
Would actually really appreciate if you could list any reputable sites you know of to purchase replacement parts from. My PS2 slim laser finally died again, and all the old sites I went to for parts either don't exist anymore, or don't carry PS2 parts anymore :(
The crooked Genesis Box on the left hand side makes my eye twitch.
