PS2 and the new Gen

[Orion Pimpdaddy]

Yep, PS2 cannot be considered modern gaming anymore. Either send it to the classic section, or create a new category that's "in between."

I guess it all depends on how you want to define "modern." I would set the line at around 10 years, in terms of a console's inception. PS2 hit the shelves in 2000, whereas PS3 debuted in 2006. So I would agree that perhaps it's time to hang the PS2 jersey up in the rafters and move it to the classic section.

Honestly, who still considers the PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox, and GameCube "current" consoles? Even the Wii and DS aren't selling new anymore. The conception of "current gen" hasn't changed in the whole time I've had my account here.

Yeah to kids these days if anything has a wired controller as the only pack-in option with a system it is generally considered classic by them. The Gamecube has already become a grandfather and kind of already is classic as is the Game Boy Advance.

Yeah, retire the PS2. Long live the king.

I would be in favor of this, in addition to moving GCN and Xbox to the Classic board.

see if this post works, formatting is all sorts of messed up for the boards tonite.


any way so far it seems pretty unanimous, if a mod wanders in maybe it'll help the cause, I suggest changing it ON the 15th of November though. just for technicalitys sake
