   that lasted a few years until i got myself another 2g phone in like 2012 and its still in use today.
   
   i didnt have a smartphone until like 2015 and only bought my first one in '18. it still working great with the only problem being the battery got pregnant again a few months back, which i changed myself.
   
   china makes wonderfull $100 phones and i love china.

   if you've got a halfway decent computer a 'modern' ps2 emulator will render to whatever resolution/ratio you want

   
   well theres reason people still enjoy putting a piece of old record onto an old record player and crank it.
   
   its an old peoples thing to put CDs into a PS2 and bask in the splashscreen.

    The price is increasing.
    
    I sent a fat PS2 to Bill Krozby a few months before he died...I was kind of wondering if I could get it back...

    this is why i dont get why so few developers took advantage of this new and amazing technology back in the ps2 era besides jack and daxter?

    "Because it was before widescreens were even a big thing?"
    
    yes but they had to have known they are future p[roofing their games and this is the direciton tech is going plus what about those ealry adopters why not satisfy them and make them worth the money they spent?
