I recently bought one of the newer PS2s, and I've got to say... This thing is small! I've started referring to it as the sandwich. I took a couple of pics with NES games to show the ratio. It's pretty funny! (it seems I have a few things to learn about lighting :oops: ) Here are two NES games stacked up next to it. The PS2 isn't even two games tall! A little over one-and-a-half games tall.  Here are two games on top to show the length of it.  I just think it's crazy how technology gets smaller and smaller. Granted, I know they took the fan out of the PS2. But it's still small for a powerful console.

That's really small and I even like the design, but I don't like Sony as a producer any more, that's the only reason for me not to buy their stuff.

I didn't actually read your post, but I was wondering why there's a picture of two NES cartridges on top of that sandwhich? ?

You haven't heard the news? Sony bought the rights from Nintendo for the whole back catalogue of NES games and as a result decided to make their new version of the PS2 backwards compatible with the NES. The most interesting new feature is the ability to play 2 games at the same time.

And you only have to lay the games on the console. No problems with dirty connectors any more! :D :o

Haha! Yeah, I also like to lay games around my sandwich... Here's my PS2 collection...  While I'm at it, here is the PS1 stuff that I have. I pretty much only want MGS and CV: SotN to make me feel better. Oh, and there is one other game there. I have Suikoden II with Suikoden I in the same container. It's a double disc-container and I kind of designed my own "boxed-set" of the two. The front half of the container is the first one, with booklet and front cover of the first one, and the back part is the second one, with the booklet and backing from the game. Perhaps I'll take pics of that at a later time. :P

Oh man, that PS1 collection!!!!! Hahahaha That Magic Carpet game drives me NUTS. My mom had it for Saturn and she played it almost literally nonstop for....I'm gonna say 3 years. Dead serious. She played that thing into the ground. Ugh. And Overblood?! Hahaha, I got that for free. Super early survival "horror" game. I didn't think anybody else actually owned it! I'm gonna have to fire up the old PS1 emulator and play through that sometime.

Ha! Awesome, someone else knows about this game! Actually, we call it Blood Oven. If you do get around to playing it sometime, notice the load screen with the cd on it. There are a couple of letters that are hard to make out from the "glare" they put on the cd. It looks like it could say Blood Oven! Ha! Yeah, now I can't remember how to even get out of the first room! I'm so forgetful.

I played MGS 3 for about... 15-17 hours straight... just trying different things and such. It rocked! No problems with it at all. It's a pretty good system!

Actually, I kept telling myself.. "Okay, I'll see what's on this next part, then I'll turn it off." Yeah right! Each part kept getting better and better! I had to keep playing it! When my wife woke up in the morning (it was about 5 am), I was fighting the last boss! She was like, "What just happened?" That game (MGS 3) is incredibly addicting... I love it.

Ha! We got the PS2 at Toys 'R' Us, and the only way you could purchase it was in a bundle. That was two games, the system, AND the warranty. So, I kind of got screwed on it. There were no other stores that had one, though. PS2s had been sold out for awhile, so it was a good thing that they only sold in bundles. No one else would buy it, so that helped me out! It allowed me to play MGS 3! I'm so happy! :D Yeah, I've beaten and own both of the PSOne Suikodens. Awesome games! They're my favorite RPGs of all, I think. They've the old school feel to them, plus great character building. Plus, it's not linear... I mean... the story is, of course. But you have to explore most of the time. Really cool! Oh yeah, and returning characters? Nice! They even built the same characters even more... They were doin' some good game design and what-not when these games were created.
