And today I went to a local retro store and bought a slim PS2 and a couple games
Yeah, it was a good deal considering the current going rate but I’ve never spent that much on a single game. I at least know I could sell it for more than I paid for it in the future if I needed so it’s not too bad.
I already own Haunting Ground and now with Kuon the only game I’m missing of the holy trinity if Rule of Rose. Doubt I’ll ever get it.
Knocking off the higher end stuff first before the prices inflate to a point that they are unattainable is a good plan. Just have to do it quick enough so the prices of the mid tier stuff that you want doesn’t sky rocket in the mean time.
Luckily I’ve got most of the games I want for the system. I got in early and got really good deals on a lot of the games. I remember ordering a ton of ps2 games from gamestop when they were clearencing them years ago. They were having things like buy 2 get 2 free at cheap prices.
I bought a PS2 Slim SCPH-90110 CW stand for my ceramic white model but got sent the wrong stand (the SS, or satin silver one). Bit gutted really, going to have to buy another one…
If anyone has a satin silver model I’m happy to sell it on and ship it out once I get a ceramic white replacement.
love the PS2! been buying a few games for it lately over the last year+ but havent touched the system in years… think it’s finally time to remedy that!
so a bit of story… I was actually getting DRE a few years ago when I wanted to play Contra Shattered Soldier. Ended up replacing the laser and I thought all was good, but turns out I didnt really test it thoroughly
my PS2 used to have trouble on CDs but played DVDs, hence the replacement since Contra is a CD game. Now after the laser replacement, turns out CDs play just fine but not DVDs. Is this common? Are there replacement lasers out there that only read CDs? coz the laser was new years ago and doesnt have the type of wear and tear I would expect it to have that would give me this error >_<
any way to fix this? And if I do indeed need a new laser, anyone can point me in the direction of a reliable one? My model I believe is 30001… old school, bought my system refurbed in 2001 and still using it 18 years later lol
