This, coupled with near-complete backwards compatibility with the original PlayStation, made the PS2 an extremely attractive system for both players and developers (the system was actually the hardest of its generation to develop for, but offset that by also being the most commercially enticing platform). The PS2 worked as a DVD player right out of the box - an incredibly affordable one for its time, and that was before taking into account the fact it was a game system. While DVDs were first commercially available in 1996, when the PS2 launched in 2000 the world was still in the process of transitioning to it from VHS as the home media standard. note PS2 games made use of both the CD and the DVD format, which were Color-Coded for Your Convenience: CD-based games had blue backings (compared to the black CDs used for PS1 games) and DVD-based games were silver. One of the system's biggest features was its use of the emerging DVD format. Instead of the ordinary gray color scheme and top-loading CD drive of the original, the PS2 featured a sleek black body, a front-loading disc tray, an optional vertical stand, and a much more substantial cooling system.

After managing to dethrone Nintendo as the top console manufacturer with the PlayStation, Sony set out to make lightning strike twice with their entry into The Sixth Generation of Console Video Games, the PlayStation 2.
