Talk:PlayStation 2/Archive 3

message: Does the PS2 support 5.1 Surround Sound in DVD movies? And will a PS2 purchased in one region play DVDs from another? If not, what does it take to make it play? A modchip? --Idleguy 06:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question to ps2 freaks 

message: Sony is appealing for the third (and final time) at this point and it seems they will lose again.
Consequences (such as ps2 hardware and software being pulled from stores in US) notwithstanding, does anyone want to add a section mentioning the suit? This issue seems to get little to no coverage despite it's importance. Tani unit 05:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Yesterday I removed the vandlasism from this talk page (see history). I don't know if any further action needs to be taken but I thought I would point it out. Oli 17:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  One wonders if you're capable of reverting such vandalism without creating too much in the process.  Seriously, don't profess to be a help when you can't even spell the word. On either attempt. Deusfaux 06:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "As of Mid 2006, the PS2 still outsells its current main competition, Xbox, GameCube and even the Xbox 360."
I don't see how this is a point of note, as the PS2 has been around for almost 6 years, while the X-Box 360 hasn't even been around for a year yet. It's the word "even" that strikes me as particularly unsuitable as it implies that the X-Box 360 should have sold more units than the PS2, when you wouldn't expect that to happen for a long time.

replies: text: To user 84.13.1.86, what is notable is the fact the PS2 still manages to sell so well despite being six years old, this was unheard of.  By the way NPD does its sales reports on a monthly basis.  http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/11/report-us-july-sales-up-22-ds-and-ea-top-sellers/  Dionyseus 07:21, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the mention of the X-Box 360? 

message: I got my own mini PlayStation 2 and my PlayStation 2 HD needs to be upgraded like this:
*Two disk trays
*A 600MB Memory Card
*The menu will look like Xbox 360, but even better
*No need to buy demo discs, it can deliver the demos automatically
*Will cost $443.99
Is it true or false? You decide. It's the only way to fight back Xbox 360. Best Gamer 25 July 2006 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Best Gamer (talk • contribs) 18:07, 25 July 2006  (UTC)

message: Is it just me or is this kinda breaking the NPOV?
The PlayStation 2 was such a hot item after its release that it was near impossible to find one on retailer shelves,
Shouldnt it be
The PlayStation 2 sold at fast rates after its realise. This cause it to be near inpossible to find...etc.
???  Julz
Yeah that sounds about right, but I thought that the ps2 shortage was also influenced by some other factors, namely a large shipment cut off due to some sort of crash? Mr toasty 03:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removed "PS2" redirect 

message: I have noted that this article is currently being flooded by sneaky vandalism. The one that I located was the changing of the top selling game from Gran Turismo 3 (which is the cited best selling game) to GTA Vice City and then rechanged to GTA San Andreas. This false information remained unchanged for almost 3 weeks. All edits should be critically reviewed for sneaky vandalism if anymore are found I recommend this page be sprotected.

message: The PS1 has this great page Chronology of PlayStation games, but there wasn't one for PS2.  I've gone ahead and started Chronology of PlayStation 2 games, so it's now ready and near empty.  Please enjoy and fill it. - Keithustus 23:22, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Several hours of spreadsheet manipulation later, there are now 2332 games listed, organized by their month of release.  The page also includes projected release dates. - Keithustus 06:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronological List of Games....New & Empty 

message: * Under Technical specifications, we have some dubious claims.  "Variable from 256x224 to 1280x1024 pixels".  Variable what?  Pixels per second?  Pixels per texture?  This needs clarified to indicate display resolution.  (And wouldn't this be a specification for the DAC?) "DRAM Bus width: 2560-bit".  This also seems a bit odd.  This is like saying that if I have two 1.4 GHz processors, my machine runs at 2.8 GHz.  --MichaelAhlers 19:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Since I cannot remove it, can somebody else remove VGCharts as a source when the article becomes unprotected? VGCharts uses estimates by the owner of the site and shipment data from companies to determine sales figures, so it should logically not be used as a source (and if there are any too-specific numbers, remove those as they are likely taken from VGCharts). Thanks. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not assuming good faith when you accuse someone of vandalism in any way. Vandalism is a user intending to do damage to Wikipedia. And you claimed that the website claims to not be professional and still advocate its usage? Check the discussion page at WP:CVG and List of best-selling computer and video games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I did not say you were vandalizing, I said "technically" since you were removing citation information even though it was repeatedly stated that information is fine. As far as vandalism goes you clearly are not I stated that you were acting in good faith. 204.52.215.128 04:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not even technically. There is no technically. You are either intending to damage Wikipedia or you are not. A bad source is worse than no source at all. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  You are missing the point. Acting on your own faith when it disagrees with the intentions of WP is bad faith, since you have been told before not to do it. Anyways I am currently writing an email to one of the sources used by VGCharts to see whether or not they believe VGCharts is reliable. 204.52.215.128 04:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On my own faith? Did I not just tell you to go to the discussion pages of two articles? If you would, you would immediately realize that there is a consensus that VGCharts is not an appropriate source. And I know the person who owns the website - ioi, on NeoGAF's forums. He is not a professional. He uses estimates that he creates using shipment data. So, he uses shipments and estimates - at no point are either appropriate sources. If you wish to have VGCharts used as a source, bring it up on those talk pages. However, there is no legitimate logic to keep this source here with a consensus in two different areas with the only dissenter being a user who refuses to stop adding it, knowing that they are not appropriate. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
