I was thinking maybe we should do an information thread for people who are new to PS2, so I thought let's do a PS2 Fact File!All you have to do is sent in some interesting facts about the PS2 console and its games so we can find out things we never knew about the PS2!So let's get cracking, I'll start:

FACT 1

Did you know that the PS2 is the First Ever Console to be able to stand up vertical?

Your turn!

Wasn't the Dreamcast available in multiple colours? I'm sure I've seen blue, red & black models...

And if we wanted to get picky, we could count Sony's NET Yaroze as a Black Playstation. :P

Fact: PS2 is my least played console at the moment.

I was wrong as Marz proved (Supervision, MegaDrive)...

But in respect to what you said, I count the GB as a handheld console, not a console per-say (lol...), and the GC was after the PS2. I counted the N64...

I always wanted a Pikachu N64 ;D...

I thought gameboy was known as a handheld console.

FACT:

Astoria's character battle is ripped off gamefaqs.

UK PS2s only work on PAL TVs and USA PS2s only work on NTSC TVs.

Are you sure? There was the N64, Gamecube...does Gameboy count as a console? Or PC? But then who really cares about the colour? So long as it works properly and its preferably not pink and flowery then it doesnt really matter! Black's the best colour anyway.
