PlayStation 2 Competitions: System Essentials
Play Station 2 (often referred to as PS2) is Sony’s sixth-generation video game console, succeeding the PlayStation (i.e. PlayStation 1) and predating the “next-generation” PlayStation 3 .
Officially released in 2000—although shortages meant most didn’t see the inside of a PlayStation 2 tournament until 2001—the PS2 platform changed the face of play by enabling online challenges. Due in part to gamers’ ability to engage in online Play Station 2 competitions, the Sony PlayStation 2 has become the best-selling console in history, with more than 136 million units bought by the end of 2008.
PlayStation 2 Tournaments: Pros of the Platform
The Play Station 2 has undergone many updates and model revisions over the years, the most noteworthy being the release of the PlayStation 2 “Slimline” versions, which were sleeker, smaller, and quieter, and are what we see in stores today. While, undoubtedly, the PS2 competition is edging towards extinction, fans of the PlayStation 2 challenge cite a number of aspects which differentiated—and some which still do distinguish—this game-changing console:
- Online gaming compatibility—the most major of the improvements to the PlayStation 2—made the PS2 the first Sony platform to allow gamers to battle remote opponents in online challenges; for those interested in making money off their video game abilities, online Play Station 2 tournaments can be considered the pioneers of BringIt’s innovative benefits
- DVD capability—introduced with the PS2 Slimline versions—made PlayStation 2 a total entertainment system, allowing consumers to not only run PS2 software and audio CDs, but to watch DVD movies as well
- Backward compatibility—means PS2 owners can live with their PlayStation 1 games a little longer (hey, even without all new software, at least online PS2 tournaments are an option, so you're not stuck with strictly self-play or geographically desirably gamers)
- Upgraded DualShock 2 controller—is an enhanced version of the original Play Station DualShock system, with digital buttons being replaced by analog face, shoulder, and D-pad keys for more responsive reactions
