Placing PS1 that way is atrocious

PS2 also developed laser issues if used that way, I can't recall PS3
ps2 developed laser issues regardless. i've tuned and cleaned so many of those. should have charged but i liked my friends.
do you know if there was a way to fix the Dreamcast laser? I was like 19 when mine started failing and I think I just kept turning up the voltage pot a teeny bit to fix it for a while until it eventually burned out.
I do not know, but I learned the ps2 method by searching on the internets. I hate to recommend YouTube and reddit, but those are probably your best bets.
If the laser itself is not salvagable, there's always replacing the laser. I don't know if it's plugged or soldered in, but if it already doesn't work, what more can you do to it?
I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!

Some of us had to play ours upside down after the laser got all jank or something
Haha yup. My OG PlayStation only worked upside down.

Hell, the PS5 is shown vertical but with the stand in the horizontal configuration. The PS2 and PS4 also had stands available because they weren't stable on their side out of the box, and the systems aren't shown with them. Unsure about the PS3.
When it would wear out putting it like that would extend it's use before being repaired/replaced.

The PS2 era really felt special. So many iconic games and memories from that generation.
Probably because a ridiculous amount of games were produces for the PS2. I don't think any console, ever, has had that many games made for it.
i think the last official game made for ps2 was in like 2014 or something crazy
i’m still impressed by the ps5 design, i never would’ve thought a console could look pretentious

Quick, add in the worst car-centric road patterns imaginable.

I hate when they stand the psone on its side.
I hate that they didn't rotate the logos on the 2 and 3.
Personally owned as an adult? PS2. They were so hard to come by at launch, but I justified the purchase as it also doubled as a not so good DVD player, which was also starting to catch on in popularity.
This would be my nephews first console experience as kids. Then the PS3 delayed launch, so I got the XBOX 360. Many 360’s later (red ring of death) and availability of the PS3 slim, I switched back. Also had a Wii. Multiple PS3 slim, PS3 super slims and lots of teen gaming sessions leading up to PS4’s and the kids now young adults migrated to PC gaming instead.
The original fat PS2 had a compartment you could store your drugs in. My friend knew someone who kept their tabs of acid in there.
The GameCube had a similar compartment
I actually thought it was a ps2 which is why I went hunting for this meme. Soooo I'm still going to post it anyways because it's too good.
ah yes, "your friend"
I swear, officer, those drugs were in there when I bought the damn thing. I could tell there was drugs in the system because the laser kept scratching all my games.
I love the industrial design of the PS2 so much. It has all of that optimistic futurism look of the late 90s/early 2000s.
Similar reason for the 4. Loved it. The 5 just looks proper stupid in my opinion.

None of the above, I started on the PSone.
Or Seattle, this one is a little on the nose:
The only one I ever owned was 2. I could never afford the others when they launched and didn't care enough once the price dropped because I had too much going on in life.
I wanted the PS5 but I think it's seen price hikes like many other electronics, right?
Costco sometimes has sales.

This angle really highlights that PS4 was the best design by far
there’s a slim ps2 knocking on your door right now

The one that's missing in the picture
ps1, but i was so young i barely remember it. i have more memories with ps2. my dad skipped ps3 because he found out the 2nd gens werent backwards compatable with ps2 games so he got an xbox 360 for us instead. never had 4, but bought a 5 for me and my siblings a year or so ago
Put a few drone shaped holes in those and you got yourself 2026 Dubai cityscape
Started all the way left and have had every one but the 5 pro.
Damn the first two were some halcyon days. The PS2 was my introduction to staying up and hitting the refresh button on some site called amazon to buy one at launch. I still remember the feeling of the buy going through.
Sigh.

Ive owned and played 1, 2, 3.
By the time 4 was out I had a bangin gaming pc, always had a computer but never a top of the line like I did at around 2010.
Rich kids had ps2, but I only owned ps4.
not for long
I hope 6 is another boxy one. They seem to alternate, curvy - boxy - curvy - boxy - curvy (maybe not the original PS, but there is a big circle on top you can’t see in this picture)
