Backwards Compatibility was a thing the PS2 touted as a huge feature :(

I don't know if there were any console (except PC) that had BC (Los PC BC. It sounds nice), but it was a huge thing.

Also, CDs and DVDs and Blurays. First to truly bring "Home Entertainment" in a games console.

Edit: Looks like the PS4 will be the first PS console to not introduce a major disc format change. I say we petition for a Betamax add-in! Who's with me??
-Note: Xbone has VHSs covered

PlayStation 2: From A to Z – The Letter “B”

Drew Leachman writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
