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.
We had one that had to be cleaned every 3 months or so. The laser would begin sticking on the guide rails and have to be re-lubricated.
I'd just refocus or whatever that white knob did, and clean the dust off the lens

Some of us had to play ours upside down after the laser got all jank or something

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.
Also they didn't rotate the logo on the ps2

I hate when they stand the posone 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.
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
None of the above, I started on the PSone.
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.
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
Rich kids had ps2, but I only owned ps4.
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.

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.

Alright, they fucked up the scale on the 4, no way it's smaller than the 1

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

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.

PS1 but had Master System and Mega Drive before that.
AND!
Lucky bugger.
Hardly. I grew up in a terrible household, just material possessions were provided but you had to tolerate decades of trauma so 🤷.
Also, contrary to the comments in here it doesnt mean we were rich. We lived on a council estate and my dad worked in a warehouse as a picker.
