Yea but it's usually its own category

This is just the PS2 mini with the Memcard gen2 embedded in the case using the memory card port 2, the type-c port for ac adapter and the HDMI mod, which I find totally meaningless as the console is meant to be used in a CRT TV. I never understood why people pay a lot of money for this, they remove the DVD drive in order to be able to make it smaller, but they are removing a feature.

I prefer to use my base PSTWO, insert my memcard gen2 and play whatever I want through it, and if I have any issues, use a burnt DVD. PS2 semi new lens are still cheap :)

You're lucky then. I can't stand anything before PS360 on a non CRT TV. The blurriness and the input lag is just too much for me. Not even Wii I can play. The only exception is PSTV, but the image is so-so.

With a good de-interlacer I can see PS2, XBOX, etc. being pretty good on a modern flatscreen. The games are predominantly 480i anyway so it's not like they need/use CRT scanlines. And pixel art isn't low-res enough that it's heavily relying on phosphor blur to generate new intermediate colours and stuff other than in the retro compilations released on it.

I agree with them that the Wii looks like shit on a flatscreen though. It's so fucking blurry and fuzzy due to a bunch of factors. I got an Mclassic and an HDMI adapter and that helps a lot, but I still think it'd look better on a CRT. Too bad there's 16:9-only Wii games and stuff.

If Sony cared and actually tried with the Playstation mini I'm sure we'd have a PS2 mini by now.
