@Friendly my dad got one just for the DVD player because it was so cheap........ every now and again he would play a game.
I still have my original PS2 and still use it to watch movies and the odd retro gaming.

Re: Perfect Dark Was Supposed To Have A Cheat Menu, But It Accidentally Got Deleted

If I remember correctly it was also suppose to have a feature that involved the Gameboy camera taking a photo of yours or someone else's face and putting it on some of the enemy characters, however the news papers got wind of it and it was deleted too.
You see back then it was deemed wrong to do things like that, you could take a photo of a person you didn't like and you could kill them in the game.(All that violent games make violent behaviour in real life BS)
Shame!!

Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo GameCube

As I have said before on these pages, regarding PS2 as a console is not accurate, the success was down to it having the caperbility for playing DVD's
DVD players were very expensive at the time and the PS2 offered a cheaper alternative that played video games too.
It was my first DVD player and still have it connected to my bedroom tv.
Myself and almost all my friends had a PS2 With 10 to 15 games on it, however we all had hundreds of DVD movies for it........ the DVD player was the killer app.

@ekwcll the ps2 was blessed with a DVD player, that's why it done amazingly, it was one of my first DVD players,cheap, played games and CD's and is still used till this day. I do believe though that the ps2 should be mentioned as a DVD player not a console as I and all my mates at the time had more dad's than games.

Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Will Have A $100 Premium Edition On Switch

If the DLC is ready then why don't they put it in the game already, it's this kind of thing that the government should stop these companies from doing to rip us off.
If we go to the cinema and pay to watch the movie we watch the full movie to the end, not only pay to watch 45 minutes of it.

Re: Here's Your First Look At Some Lovely GRID Autosport Switch Screenshots

@Discostew it is very difficult to strike a ballance between braking and acceleration on the analog stick. The original Colin McRae Rally on ps1 had that system on it and I never got use to it.
The switch really would have benefited with analog triggers for SIM racing games.
Let's see what they plan to do.
By the way the game looks sweet.
