Sony Confirms PlayStation 2 Production Has Ceased Worldwide

To keep a console alive just to have yearly sporty games, might as well shut it down completely.

I fired up my old PS2 a few months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It was slow, the fans were loud, and the graphics were real blurry on my HDTV. It's hard to believe this system was considered a graphical breakthrough in its day. I did enjoy it when it was considered the hottest console out though. I was addicted to Twisted Metal Black. I used to play that game everyday.

If you used standard RCA cable, than yes, maybe. If you want a nice picture on HDTV, then you have to use component cable.

Have you ever seen GT4 on 1080i resolution? Pure eyegasm. Not all games support that resolution ( only few actually), but most can get into Progressive scan mode, and get a fresh new look.

Here is my video of testing GT4, and recorded with Cell phone, but it still looks very good. For me, this is just amazing, since the console is over 10 years old. :)

Yeah that does look good. The game I tried out was Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex. I doubt it'll look as good as GT4 though.

I guess not :)

But still, and specially japanese games, look pretty good even today.
