The PlayStation 2: All About Emotion

Thank you all so much for the support on this video! It's easily been my most successful by far, and with that I wanted to make a comment thanking everyone and for some notes/additions! First: Yes, I did miss the pressure sensitive buttons, I do apologize for that. It's odd that I never came across it in my research, but I promise I just overlooked it and didn't mean to! Along with that please forgive me for not cleaning my controller before recording, it was second hand and enough of you have dogged on me for it haha. Second: While I did state in the video that Sony formed a partnership with Toshiba to create the Emotion Engine, it should be stated that the Graphics Synthesizer was entirely in house, whereas the CPU of the Emotion Engine was where the Toshiba-Sony Partnership came in. Thank you to @BurritoKingdom for pointing this out! Third: As pointed out by @RWL2012 the original PS1 and PS2 had AC power whereas the PSOne and PS2 Slim had DC Connectors, along with that there are compatibility issues with certain PS1 games, so it's technically not 100% compatibility rate. Fourth: The PC Card slot mentioned in the video was on a different version of the PS2 and was replaced by the HDD Bay and connection slot, thank you to @Edvinas_channel for pointing this out. That's all for now! I will ensure to keep this comment updated as what's most important to me is that we all work together to further video game history! Thank you!

I got my Playstation 2 on day one and wow....was it insane. I started gaming with the Nes and Master System getting most major new consoles that came out. Nothing was like the PS2 launch. People were fighting, robbing each other, selling them for triple the price, and so much more. I was working on the sale room floor at Walmart when we got our second shipment PS2's for black Friday. We were supposed to have over 50 for sale but Sony only sent 12. My stupid store manager stuck them all on a pallet in Action Alley." He actually believed that customers were going to be orderly and polite. It turned into a massive brawl. Guns were pulled, people got arrested, and some had to be taken out on a stretcher. Insane. People actually knocked doors down when it was announced there was only 12. We're talking broken glass, sliding doors on the ground, and other general mayhem. For reference -I got my PS2 from Toy's R' Us. I won a raffle in order to buy it on day one. Coincidentally, I have never missed a Playstation (or Xbox) launch since their entry into the console industry. This includes the Series X and PS5.

An hour long, PS2 retrospective… UGH THANK YOU!

This popped up for me to watch as I prepared to cook dinner at 2am. What a great video to watch and listen as I move about my kitchen.

SSX was definatley a "must have" during the PS2's launch.

That FFX song at the beginning hit me with a wave of nostalgia.

Besaid for the intro song on this video is pure nostalgia from the PS2 era. FFX is one of my favorite games of that generation.

This machine was when Sony was at the top of their game. No nonsense sensitivities. They brought out a product that the consumer wants, plain and simple. Banger after banger after banger. We will never see a console that was this impactful ever again. Not even the Switch can match what a powerhouse the PS2 was.

I loved my original PS2. I was such a idiot I sold it as a kid.

Got a ps2 for my 10th birthday. Amazing times. FFX was such a fun experience for me

Great video, love when small channels make such amazing passion projects. Keep it up.

Crazy quality, keep it up! Highly appreciate spending time on tech specs and industry happenings instead of just going "here's how many it sold and here's what games were on it" like other channels do

From one researcher to another, I am impressed. You've done a great job!

Im only about 25% into the video but i just had to pause and comment. You got great presentation and production for someone with only 7k subs. You content and topics are also about gaming which is very popular (obviously). I wanted to say great job, and you got yourself a new sub! Keep at it and you'll get your sub numbers up in no time

Love this video! Detailed specs and information! Keep up the good work!

Great documentary, but I’m surprised at how often I see these videos get the memory configurations mixed up. @15:41 it’s important that people don’t get “Megabit” & “MegaByte” confused. 32-Megabits is 4-Megabytes, and 32-Megabytes is 256-Megabits. Megabits is much smaller.

Fantastic video on the technical side of the PS2. I always love hearing about the hardware of any console and how it works. I would love to see something similar on the Gamecube or Xbox too

This is an awesome production Justin!!!

I cannot believe you don’t have more subscribers. Exceptional quality.

Thank you for giving a new view, knowledge, also a nostalgia driven into the past, best of luck with everything in life
