    lol same. It’s really only useful for nostalgia, but I’m a sucker for nostalgia.

    They worked on PS2 outside of Brazil, too. They originally rented out physical media through the mail before they became a streaming service and the PS2 was perfectly capable of playing movies on DVD.

    IDK if they rented games. I used a different service (RedOctane) that did, tho. I was an active subscriber when they went bankrupt; I still have the 5 DreamCast games I was renting at the time because there was nobody to send them back to. 🤣

    It worked in the USA too. You'd get DVDs in the snail mail, play them on your PS2, and then mail them back in a prepaid envelope.

    I remember getting the network adapter for ps2. First console game I played online. Tony Hawk 3. And that's when I realized dialup was horrible for gaming

    Im in the states and I specifically remember Netflix dvds and the ps2. I might be misremembering, but a good friend loved movies and had the subscription and DVD players were kind of more rare then. We would play those movies on the ps2 and I remember we would switch between that and grand theft auto.

    I still remember trying the streaming service out when it first released. Oh boy was that really bad, but super interesting to think about now.
