I was born in the 2000s, I've heard of the PS2 but never had one in my life (although I had original Xboxes in my life so maybe I just had the weird family). I had a PS3 growing up, and a few of my friends had xb360s, but then I moved to PC.
The only game systems my parents had were the
- NES
- OG Gameboy
- Gameboy advance SP
- PS3
- DS lite
or at least that's the ones that were kept around long enough for me to get my hands on them. I haven't seen any old consoles IRL outside of that, or at least not any that I remember 😆
Since they had kids i'll list the systems I (or shared with my siblings) own
- dsi
- Wii
- 3ds
- Switch
- PS5 (I don't see the appeal tbh)
- Gaming PC (played nothing but Minecraft for about 2 years)
- Steamdeck (LCD, OLED)
- GBA I modded with a LCD screen, but that was like a year ago so I don't rly count it
Tried a friends switch 2 and it's pretty cool but the fact my steamdeck has over 100 of my PC games WITH SAVES just makes the entire console seem kinda silly. Also there's no soul to it which makes it even more unappealing :/
if I were to get a "console" nowadays it would probably be either a steam machine or a PC from secondhand parts in steam big picture
edit: worth mentioning I'm gen Z (2007) and my parents are early millennials
Kid, I'm old enough to have played Playstation games in my walkman for the music.
I still own a PS2.
Mine still works.
(though these days I use PCSX2 and let the old girl rest)
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Literally just walk into CeX (or any non-British equivalent) and there will be at least three on display.
I did also briefly own a PS2 Slim, but my mum got rid of it because I didn't use it enough (I still have my Wii to this day, though).
So you’re in your late 20s and already letting punks call you old?
880 german mark was the price back then.... Was released right befor the euro came....
Man......I'm way out of here with my understanding of German currency. I thought the German mark was the currency they introduced after WWI when they started just printing money to pay back the allies.
Then I thought they abandoned it in favor of the euro which came after WWII.
My timeline/understanding is way off
I mean, it did come after WWII. 54 years after.
I also came after WWII
The german currency after WWI was just called Mark, then after the hyperinflation it was replaced by the Reichsmark. After WWII came the Deutsche Mark. After the cold war the Euro.
- 1871-1923 Mark
- 1924-1948 Reichsmark
- 1948-2001 Deutsche Mark
- 1999+ Euro

that boot animation still haunts me lol
But it’s a still image, there are no animated boots … oh …
My coworker once asked to me take out a loan so she could buy some kind of trinket, I told her no and gave her my old PS2 instead. Ever since then she gives me a real good Nantucket Narb Snarfie before bed every night. I've never ejaculated so much in my life. It's a shame she passed away 54 years ago.
