Imagine doing one for the DS and 3DS lines, if you start now you might finish before the heat death of the universe
Death heated 😳
5:33 Those are probably worth quite a bit more than the average PS2 because they're actually PS4s
I can't help but wonder if this was legit oversight, or an intentional troll moment to see who's paying attention.
@@SatanasExMachina I feel like he couldn't have taken a screenshot and then integrate it into this video without noticing it. I'm pretty sure it was intentional.
The controller instantly stood out to me even without reading a single word in the name
@@SatanasExMachina certifiable troll moment
Noticed this too 😂 got to be an in joke
its to show that ps2 is superior to ps4 when they cost about the same novadays ...
I would suggest you should do one about the Dreamcast, but it would be at least 45 minutes long. So yeah, you should do one about the Dreamcast.
Bruh yes... there is so many Different Versions of the Dreamcast the first ones that come to my head are the Hello Kitty Dreamcast and the Sonic Adventure one lol
@@tailsprower9542 there* know the difference.
@@Periwinkleaccount dang bro why the salt could have just corrected him and sent them on their way
@@Periwinkleaccount also you gave him the wrong version of there as well, its there in that particular instance so now I'm not sure if you're just trolling
@@BloodDripss whoops! I’ll fix it now.
This is a certified ps2 moment
this is indeed a certifiable sony playstation 2 computer entertainment system moment
Fr fr
@@Spacething7474 a certified PlayStation 2 (PS2) - a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment moment
What do you mean?
The scoring system changing every time you score a console variant is my favorite joke in this series.
This comment gets a 4.27-5 out of 6.1
This
Brendaniel also does that lol.
Solid 5/7…
10yr old humor
Honestly that pink one is pretty sick. I'll give it about 4,5 Xbox 360 out of 11 Nintendo 64s
That's....... good
Yeah the first pink one he showed was my favorite as well
My older sister still owns the pink one to this day. She usually played Sims on it.
I'll give it 420 stars out of 69
High boi reference? Lol
The reason the PS3, PS4, and now PS5 had or have no games is because the PS2 took them all.
The PS4 has no games ? Are you sure you're not talking about the Xbox ?
In what way did 3 and especially 4 not have games?
4 has a massive library.
Ps 2 was hands down the best system the range of games were almost infinite
@@Gatorade69 Maybe he means the Ps2 had well over 4000 games while the Ps4 only has 2000+. And the Xbox only has under 100 less games, which really is nothing when you’re talking about thousands of games. But comparing over 4000 to under half of it, thats a pretty big margin
@Angelo Griffith He said the PS3, PS4 and PS5 "had or have no games." I would think obviously It's an exaggeration. Sure, PS2 had a lot more games but that doesn't mean the PS4 "Had no games." Like I said, exaggeration.
by not trying to hook us in the beginning you hooked me
you fell off🤡🤡🤡
Thanks to the TH-cam algorithm (I guess?) I’ve stumbled across your video. Gladly I might add! Your voice sounds like a cross between Ron Swanson and Tom Green and I find it hilarious. Also, your scoring system is actually amazing. Great work!
I once spilled beer over my lauch ps2, then my cd drive broke and I took it out and replaced it with my shattered hopes and dreams.
So I have the rarest ps2.
Agreed completely with the intro man, we already know why I’m here, just show me those PS2s lol
The outro was a bop. Liked the glitch images as well.
he has a really underrated SoundCloud
I watched all the way to the end u-u
I like the work you put into both channels, keep it up ;w;
Idk how serious that bit at the end was but
I was kinda saddened by it.
You do good work, don't let it fall off just because it seems unappreciated.
Not only for the people who watch to the end now, but also those 6-7 years from now who go down the rabbit hole of your channel :D
this vid just got recommended and i’m glad it did. i was surprised to see your sub count though should deffo be higher with the content you make. i love your vids you get straight to the point, no ads, original and seem you like a cool guy. also make more rare console vids! :)
Often, at times in this video, I felt like Joe Swanson just sat down next to me and started telling me about PS2s.
Ron**
I'm sure 99% of everyone watching this video knows the PS2 is the top selling game console of all time so obviously they made so many variations of it all can be justified in my eyes. I love the PS2 always have and will STILL love the PS2 I own to this day
Apparently my cousin has had possession of one of the automotive blue models for years, using it as a coaster, lol. Since learning it was so rare, it's been cleaned up and treated much better now.
I randomly came across this in my feed and I’m really glad I clicked watch. Your dry wit and sense of presentation is great dude!
7:17 I know I'm really late to this haha but just an insight here, there's quite a few of the aqua blue variant being sold in the UK on eBay at the moment. Obviously with some variation, they're generally going for around £50 to £100 unboxed (really not that expensive, about the same as the standard model), £200 boxed and up to £500 brand new - I thought you might like to know! Great video as always, I love your style and sense of humour :)
when's the world of rare gizmondos video
Just imagine he does handhelds? Like the Gameboy itself will be like a 3hour long video.
Can't forget the konami python. Just a PS2 slapped in arcade machines with some extra security dongles for their designated game. I love these videos.
That intro alone made me suscribe immediately. Cheers, mate.
saw a pink slim go for €50 at a popular chain used gaming gear store. came back the next day to buy it but someone else snagged it.
also saw the automotive edition yellow for sale for €500 in a vintage store run from an old basement under a really old like 19th century building in the city center. apparently someone fished it out of a skip/dumpster and brought it in
damn it Tyler it’s like you knew my mental health was gonna need part 3 of collectible consoles today
I love this series of videos
6:44 Ape Escape, my childhood ♥️
Kudos for your unique animation style.
You should do commentary for more than game genre. Very entertaining and I like how you got straight to the point fast
You know what, just because you didnt make a long ass intro im gonna sub. Thank ypu
Watching your descent into madness during this series has been quite enjoyable. Might I suggest the Nintendo wiiiiiiiiiiis next
Some of the more erath toned colours, were prices that you could win in a draw or something. Back in 2003/05'ish here in Denmark. They were never on sale here. It was right before the silver fatt and the slim quickly came on the market some time later.
aw yeah, big ole fat boy PS2. still have mine my parents got me for christmas in 2001, that monster lasted at least 16 years before the laser couldnt read anymore, 2 years from graduation and it finally quit on me. best console ive ever had and the longest lasting.
Then there were my ps2 slims which had to fixed after every 6 months, really miss my fat boy
Subbed, dude. I learned something new, thanks :)
the pre release colored PSX reminds me of the prerelease photos of the wii from 2006, where they advertised "lime green" and "cherry red" which they did eventually release in i believe the new super mario bros bundle.
Love these kinds of rare variant videos for things
As someone who owns an in-box Ocean Blue PS2, I give this video 4 outta 5 outta 4 outta 5.5 outta 4.45 stars ⭐️
i hope you play with it once in a while at least, instead of leaving it in-box and forgotten...
@@baraodascolinas979 absolutely! It’s my PAL system for weird Japanese games. I bought it while I was living there because I still very much play my old consoles.
I subscribed because thank you for not wasting my time with your video. More people should be like you.
It's almost funny how Char Aznable got as many as TWO different consoles themed after his mobile suits in the 6th console generation. There's the red Zaku GC and then there's the golden Hyaku-Shiki PS2, it's almost as if one company saw another do a Char console and said "quick, we gotta respond with a Char variant of our own!". Other than these two there were never any other consoles dedicated to him or any other Gundam character. I don't think they were tied to any specific Gundam related event either, it's just Sony and Nintendo all of a sudden decided to release Char variants of their consoles for no reason within a relatively short time window between them.
And then the only Char themed games systems we've gotten since have been handhelds like the 3DS
I love this format of video, Wii next?
I got a Aqua Blue PAL on a second hand shop in its box with a box of controllers for Buzz, microphones for sing star and few regular dualshock controllers. Also there were Buzz, Sing Star and few other games. All for 10€.
This is the wacky random content that keeps me coming back
I like the tone of this. You make the subject sound very interesting but not a very big deal haha
I like how you do your vids... subbed
Left 4 Dev Kit’s in a shed when we moved about 8-9 years ago. All said ‘TEST’, and all without region restrictions. Was a stupid mistake, but it could be worse…
My grandad left the first ever Atari ST dev kit in the UK in his attic when he moved…
Wow im so happy i found you here tyler u the goat
I bought a like brand new Black PS2 Slim for £78, boxed with manuals. The console, controller, wires and manuals are pristine. Only a little more than a regular used PS2 but way less than a Brand New sealed PS2. A happy medium as plan to use the console but keep in excellent condition.
Normal PS2's are expensive across the pond! In the UK you can pick these up easy from people just throwing them out for free or up to £20-30 in working condition
I have multiple PS2s. 1 of them is the OG satin silver from my childhood as well as a PAL pink slim unit. Had some other colours that I gave away because I'm too nice. My fave colour is Blue and I'm a huge Ratchet & Clank fan so I think I want that Toy Blue PS2.
Cheers for an interesting lookback :)
I’m impressed you actually managed to get to the point while talking about people not getting to the point before that 30 second mark where people loose interest due to TH-camrs not getting to the point
Was thinking about getting a ps2, and now I know I can get some unique ones for not that much more! Thanks
Serious congrats to the colored DVR ones for scoring a "more than 5 out of 5"
8:19 i swear it was a matte yellow, one of the my local games store had it on display back in the day
5:34 “And they actually go for quite a bit more than the average PS2.” Yeah, pretty sure a PS4 would go for more than a PS2
they sell for 150-200 and 300-600 in the box for the gold gundam model at 5:34 . So essentially yes they can and will go for more then a ps4.
Love these videos
Finally, one of these videos for my favorite console
Finally a no nonsense channel you earn yourself a sub.
I know I don’t speak for everyone, but I always watch your vids all the way through just to hear the bangin’ outro music.
I like the "whose line is it anyway " scoring
it got on my recommended videos and i must say, i was sad af and crying so i opened youtube so i could breathe… and this was the best pick! ended laughing a lot because rethinking the notes was genius! thank you, really.
Hey I totally forgot I was subscribed thanks for the upload..
yep, i have the aqua blue, sakura pink, and the ps2 tv. btw, those ps2 tv are quite hard to get nowadays
10:43 OMG EAGLE ONE: HARRIER ATTACK the fav game of my childhood EEEEE
Lol at the random grilling picture for Austraila.
Still have this console to this day and can run smoothly to this day. Love it
What's it connected with ? I found one at Goodwill and I got one of those cheapo HDMI converters but the picture looks really fuzzy. I did snag a pair of component cables which look good but I can only use it on older televisions. I know there's better options for upscaling but they are a bit pricey. I guess I'll just continue to emulate PS2 so I can increase the the resolution and use stuff like anti ailising that makes the games look really good.
@@Gatorade69 you can buy a component to HDMI adapter off amazon and just use that to connect to your modern tv.
Wait, i had super slim red variant back in middle school, i never knew it was Japan exclusive since mine bought locally on specialized retail that also modchip the console, i guess it was an import one, sadly the unit died and was sold to e-waste recycler back in 2013
I have some PS2 with me, specially japan editions to play japanese games.
My favourites are Ocean Blue and Midnight Blue, they look similar but once side by side you can spot the differences. To just play I run a simple slim silver japanese PS2.
For some time I also had a PSX, a working condition one, it used to ran smooth, fast and quiet. Menu was a bit weird and navigating it was odd, guess they were still figuring out the new menu system. I would play DVDs on it and was my main DVD player for years until it died.
Probably the rarest PS2 out there, and surprised you missed it, is the PS2 TOOL, basically the dev kit studios would use to develop games. It's like a normal fat PS2 but extra huge. You can find them out there but they requiere some work and passwords to run.
This was an awesome ranking
I have the pink one. Found it in an electronics dumpster a few years back and it's my main PS2
Those give me major Wii vibes; the glossy finish, the slim design, even the little flap open tab thing at the bottom, it all looks so similar. Maybe Nintendo got a little inspiration from Sony back in the day when designing the Wii :P
I hope you can do one of this for PSPs.
I had a Superman ps2 I got from my neighbor before he left idk if it was custom or sold like that but it had the Superman logo with skyscrapers on the background
Oh boy, I can't wait for "The Insane World of Rare MS-DOS computers".
"I'll give it a Gran Turismo 5... Prologue out of 5." 😂🤣
The sakura pink one it’s pretty cool for a limited production.
That intro about unnecessary intros = a [SUB]! 🤪
my freind had a fat ps2 growing up that scratched the hell out of his games after a while but he got a silver slim which i now have. I had a slim but now have a fat model and he does as well and they keep running pretty well just have to clean the laser every so often
The only rare ps2 that gets my attention are the ones that still work.
I just subscribed only because your talk about long introductions, word!
The whimsu channel gets 5 crack smoking Knowledge Hubs in a Coolio coat out of 5
oceanic blue is he one i love the most, all transparent consoles are the coolest
Very proud of my near mint in box Aqua Blue, I have that and a tatty Aqua Blue I use as my main console. Didn't realise they only made 5000
Toy blue is the one they only made 5000. They made quite a few aqua
I bought a PS2 for $30 a few months ago and I got a pleasant surprise when it arrived, it had a hard drive adaptor included and came in the original box, the best part though was that it already had a mod chip and the previous owner didn't even know (I only found out because I put my Japanese copy of Final Fantasy 12 in our of random curiosity one day)
I bought a black ps2 slim off eBay for like 30 bucks a couple years ago. Glad I snagged that when I did
Love my silver PS2 (FAT) got 3 silver pads for it. I also have the original black. I might start collecting different colours.
I got a stain sliver ps2 slim I'm trying to buy a fat model.
Love your content!!
Sometimes I think you just get high then chill as you make these.
I have 4 ps2's & a stack of NCAA, MLB, NFL, NFL COACH, NHL, & NBA games that still work.
The white glossy automotive one is underrated. It looks sick
I like original pink and automotive yellow but satin silver is the iconic alternative to classic black
I got one of those now ultrarare bravia ps2 combinations for about 140 euros, used of course and it still works. I am super happy :)
i don't know if you're zack or cody, but your content is fire dept
Such a Facebook, excuse me, meta intro
Bro I don’t comment much on vids but damn I missed your videos dude holy shit
Oh boy, I needed content to fill this empty void
I have one that I have named the ASIS1000 edition.
I bought it from a pawn shop as-is for $10.00 and kept the price sticker on it.
Now for a video like this about SQUARE ENIX games...
On the reliability front, in my experience I've had an original PS2 since '08 and it still works fine, on the other hand between '09 and '15 I had THREE slim consoles break (both versions).
Too bad I can’t give video more than 1 like. Funny dude. Great content!
Im glad I now know that I wasn't the only one who had issues with the fat PS2 models bricking on me. Went through 2 of them as a kid before getting a slim model that lasted me until the PS3 came out, then I sold it.
I still have a working ps2 slim lol
I had the opposite happen to me. The two slim ps2s we had died insanely quick. The fat model I bought second hand is still running to this day.
