  1. The ribbon that moves the lens when reading a disc on the slim model can touch the disc while it spins, leaving a big circular scratch on every disc you play. If this happens to you, stop using your PS2 immediately and take it to be repaired.
  2. PlayStation games played via backward compatibility can't save data into a PlayStation 2 memory card, so make sure you own an older PS1 memory card.
  3. Some unofficial game discs such as the ones produced by Phoenix Games, Data Design Interactive, The Code Monkeys and Blast Entertainment can damage your console due to those discs' poor quality.

Reception

The PlayStation 2 is currently the best-selling video game system in history, selling over 155 million units as of March 31, 2012. Its ability to play DVDs and PlayStation games as well as good third-party support was a major factor to its massive success.

Trivia

  • The announcement of the PS2 alone was strong enough to cause the Dreamcast to decline in sales quickly and kill it for good.
  • The following PS2 games are the only games on the PS2 that can be played in 1080i:
    • Tourist Trophy
    • Gran Turismo 4
    • Jackass: The Game
    • Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
  • It took nearly a decade for the PS2 to be launched in Brazil, leaving it on the market for only three years in that country.
  • A digital video recorder based on the PS2, the PSX (not to be confused with the original PlayStation that also used PSX as its code name), was released in 2003 only in Japan. It became a total flop due to having a really high launch price, and other fatal flaws, causing Sony to cancel their plans on releasing the device outside of Japan.
  • It barely gets outsold by the Nintendo DS with only 1 million units, causing it to be the best selling console ever made.
  • The more memory cards the console has the more blocks will appear on the startup screen.
