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!

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.

Does ANYBODY know the difference between a UK PS2 and a regular USA PS2? I just bought the game Cricket 2004 for PS2. I live in the US, does anybody know?

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

I thought gameboy was known as a handheld console.

FACT:

Astoria's character battle is ripped off gamefaqs.

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...

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.

Fact: If you open the disc drive, put a disc in, put your finger in the hole in the disc then close the disk drive it breaks your finger. Go on, try it, you know you want to!!
