Complete US Playstation 2 Collection - Video #1 

I grabbed a lot when PS2 was easy to collect for. Nowadays it is getting harder for some of my friends who want to complete the set. Thanks for watching!

It's the little things that make us happy that makes collecting fun :)

I also have that video game.

+Mass40K Thank you for watching the whole thing! =)

+Tadpole1313 Thank you sir for watching!

+modern8bit I have to agree. Same with PS1. Had an awesome library too! Thanks for watching!

It really was peak 3d game software. It says something when they are still porting these games to modern consoles to this day.

You'll complete it in no time :-) thanks for watching!

I am starting every ps2 game collection all them

Your missing Fifa 13 and 14

Also the guys game

@@grantphillips7606 He said US release!

Thanks for enduring the marathon! LOL

Awesome! Yeah it’s getting tougher to find quality titles in the wild but good to know that people are still getting deals :) thank you for watching!

do u have intstagram

I have some wood dance mats too!

That would be great! I can't find my list that I used. It was an Excel Spreadsheet too. Let me know and I will send my email address your way.

No problem! Keep in mind that there are lots of variants or deluxe boxes for some of the games in the set that even I don't have yet, but officially, this is the complete set as far as the games that were put out for it. Good luck with your complete set! Now is the time to do it since interest in the PS2 is not crazy just yet. Some titles are going up in price though! Thanks for watching!

I'm watching you vids and making notes! Very helpful! I did notice you didn't have the City Crisis variant where there was no title on the spine. I came across one a few months ago at a pawnshop so now I have both. I'm sure you are aware of it, but just putting it out there for anyone else whos going for a full set. Thanks again man!

+swissmrkc You know how we are sometimes. Need those variants! LOL

+Kacy DaGameNerd That's big coming from the person who has hella complete sets LOL =) Thanks for painfully watching me read off each title LOL Yep! I forgot to also mention you traded me Sakura Wars sealed too!

It took me five years to do it. PS2 is so cheap so I snagged most of them from fleas, thrifts, Craigslist and yard sales. The final games I ended up getting online because throughout those five years I have never seen them in the wild or miss out on local deals. I'm sure you will be able to complete yours soon! Thanks for watching!

+djdeus this is amazing. I didn't think it was possible. I am confused though. Is the 3800 games quoted various places all regions? I reckon trying this through eBay would be too expensive. Thanks for the video.

+George Organ I believe that covers all regions. I only went for the US set which has approximately 1900 titles if you count variants. Thank you for watching!

The Georges Good luck, hope you finish it someday!

+khmlight3 Thank you! It took quite a bit of time and patience but am glad to complete it. Thank you for watching!

PS1/PS2/PSP is my forever favorite system. =)

Gotcha. Thank you for the info!

diego kasady agreed!!!!

1,749 PlayStation 2 games in the US library.

Thank you! Still have it all too :)

@@djdeus .. One question if I may ? Is this an investment or is your collecting sort of like an A.D.D. ? (I mean no offense , I myself have to turn each knob on my stove 5 times each, 7 times a day before I can go to bed)

chazz Lucas after Nintendo I fell in love with the Sony PS1. PS2 followed suit and upwards to PS4. My PS1 collection is not a full set, but filled with lots of stuff I grew up playing. When PS2 dropped I continued the addiction for Sony especially with how many exclusives it had compared to the original Xbox. I decided to pay homage to Sony by at least having one complete set for that console. The OCD kicked in when it came to the variants and special edition bonus item games, plus making sure they are in alpha order according to one list I used as a guide to getting them all. :)

Nice emulator 😂

+marlb0r015 The PS2 library is underrated. There are so many good titles to play. The kids love some of the games as well, so it is a library designed for all ages in our household. The US set only has about 1900 titles. I couldn't handle getting JP and EU. LOL Thanks for watching!

+djdeus I think it is mainly underrated because of the status the Ps2 and it's games have now. The Ps2 is now just an obsolete gaming console and the games are ''outdated'' i need to start collecting before it gets its ''retro'' status cause then everybody will suddenly be falling all over the shit and scream its retro so its cool!! With raising prices to be followed. And you don't have to thank me for watching, i liked the video :P

+marlb0r015 It's very underrated because everyone is so focused on Nintendo and Sega right now. That's why I have been in the background slowly getting together this library so that if it every catches hype, I won't have to worry about getting anything so high priced because I already have everything =) If it doesn't catch hype, it's okay too. I love Sony period regardless of value/worth.

Probably even longer. A lot of the places I snagged PS2 games cheap now look up every title. I went to a few places where I used to get them for a buck each and they now have them behind the counter and with individual pricing. It's sad. =(

Yeah it comes with the territory of any system you collect for. I cringed over all the Maddens LOL. Thanks for watching!

djdeus haha look forward to more videos!

I have no idea on what it is worth. Maybe one day I will appraise it - for now I am just happy to finally complete it after so long.

Not at all! 🙂 I love the feeling of having them all in one spot and my kids have been pulling titles that they want to play and I enjoy reliving ones that I’ve played in the past. This was the only set I wanted to complete. I wanted to complete PS1 as that is another console I enjoyed playing but it’s okay. I’m content. Thank you for watching!

Patrick yeah but at least I know it’s a variant and not just a Greatest Hits lol

My stance on that GH and GOTY is that if it has extra content that the standard edition does not have, I would get it, as I consider that a variant. For example, I have a regular copy of GTA SA and greatest hits because in the GH, they removed the coffee hack, so different game experience. GOTY, as long as it has the additional DLC in it, that is a different game out the package, hence a "variant" for me. Hope that helps!

djdeus thanks for taking the time to answer me back!

Mostly buying cheap at thrifts, garage sales, pawn shops, flea markets, Craigslist. PS2 was easy to acquire because most people used to sell them between 50 cents up to $2.00 on average. I did some hustling and flipped doubles and picked up stuff I knew would sell fast in order to fund this collection. My entire basement is paid for. It took a while to do it, but having a free collection is always fun!

djdeus can you please send me your list man please its my favorite system ever and i cant find a acurate list anywhere

Target. They're pretty decent but you need to anchor them to the wall. One I bought snapped in half because of the weight. Thanks for watching!

It's definitely a good reference point. I am missing a bunch of special edition box sets but the main focus was completing the available US library. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

If you have a good amount of "seed money" you can actually get a free collection if you're patient and know what to pick up. This entire collection is all paid for (break even plus made money). I would buy a stack of games, keep the ones I want/need, then sell the rest to break even or make money on top to get more games. I've done this over many years and my entire basement of games is all paid off (free) plus I made a bunch of money on top of that to keep going. It is possible. Thanks for watching! =)

Oh, that's not a bad idea. Seems like it would be really really REALLY long before you got a decent collection going though? How often were you buying stacks of games?

Pretty often. I mostly bought big game lots for a decent price. It took a while yes but the end goal was everything being free which was worth it! Keep in mind though I was actively hunting almost every day after work, weekends etc. I burned out pretty quickly. Also, I picked other things up that were non game related to help fund the collection. Stuff like iPods, calculators, electronics, MP3 players, walkmans, etc. Anything that I could get cheap and flip for money to use towards the hobby. ZERO savings were touched. My wife would divorce me if I laid a finger in our honeypot LOL

+revertedlogic If you send me your email address in private, I can send you a master list

+djdeus Sent you a message man!

+revertedlogic Sounds good! I'll check and reply

Do you happen to still have that master list? I'm going for a full ps2 set as well.

Jimmy Rustles Me as well did you get it?

Nope. I only collected GH games if they had different gameplay or additions outside of the black label versions or if they had bonus discs.

@@djdeus ok

1,749

StudioUAC I believe it was PES 2013 for US. FIFA 14 for EU region

because apparently I keep seeing lists that say fifa soccer 13 was released in the us. and i can't find anything on it!

From what I understand, that game was supposed to be the last game but it ended up being PES 2013 instead. I thought the same thing as well when I was down to to the last few games in the set and was going crazy trying to find that one. :)

According to another comment, 1,749 games and that is not including variants.

I don't count anything outside of the USA as part of the set. =)

I have not. Is there a difference in gameplay?

Siren, Rule of Rose, the entire .hack series, Skygunner, Gradius V, Dark Cloud 1 and 2, just to name a few. There are other gems that are not expensive but fun to play too. :)

+djdeus cool, I have most of those except Siren and Gradius V. I love the PS2 but I can't justify spending money on shovelware and Barbie games but props to you for sticking it out!

+Samuel Branham I can't handle the Barbies, Dora's, etc :) but had to get them to complete the set. Same wth the 10 million Maddens and other sports games :-(

+djdeus yeah I could not handle that. Lots of other games I could buy with that money haha. But props non the less. It's cool to see it all in one place.

+djdeus I love dark cloud!

That is a good question! Never thought about it. I suppose if someone offered me a good amount of cash for it that is not too far off retail value, it'd go =) I haven't figured out the overall value of what I have. I think it was a bit over 10K when I last looked. Could be wrong.

@@djdeus sit on the games for another 5-6 years and the price will double - the ps2 was very popular and there will be a new generation of collectors increasing prices (it is already starting)

PS2 Collector. It's for iPhones . They don't have an accurate count because a few PAL and JP titles somehow ended up on the U.S. list. I just use it to determine the order of how they're alphabetized so that it's easier to cross reference :)

what is ESA Foundation? Is that an official title?

I just researched that and that is not an official USA release. It is similar to those education packs that came out for the PS1. I only collected official releases and if I found anything not official, I added it to the collection. The completeness of the US set only contains official released titles.

@@djdeus are you on Instagram I can send you pics

these things are stadium events rare

1,749 and that is not including variants or code breaker releases.

djdeus do you have a completed list. Also that dosnt count greatest hits and regular games twice does it?

@@chopedandsectioned I have a completed list somewhere. I can look for it and get it to you. Greatest Hits doesn't count towards the official list. I do have some GH variants that have an extra disc or more content in the set. Also, the DDR pad bundles for an example does not count as another entry towards the "official" list. It is a double basically.

djdeus awsome and i love your collection, you and metaljesusrocks got me back into collecting

@@chopedandsectioned Thanks! I actually changed my gameroom up a lot. I'll try shooting a quick 2020 game room tour video this weekend. I still sort of collect but I also added vintage toys to the mix.

Hð rizon why is limited copy

Somewhere in Colorado LOL

Pretty much. I am so glad I am done.
