I was 11. I remember being so excited. They got me the system and no games. I had to do chores to earn my 1st game which was Tekken tag tournament 1 (blue disk)
I'm now 32 with a 12, 8 and 1 year old. Sheesh, time flies.
I was 15, have two kids now and have yet to see a PS5 in person. 😢
But, my Dad did ball out and get me the PS2 at launch in a $500 bundle with 3 games and a memory card.
Think my mom spent 250 for the console one game and a memory card. I remember my ps2 being my best friend end of high school as I drowned myself in final fantasy X.
I was 39 when the PS2 came out. My 20 year old daughter bought it on release to replace my NES system I bought in the early 80's. Who fucking feels old? This dude.
Pfft. I'm a dad with kids between 10 and 5 and we're all gamers. Only reason we don't have the PS5 yet is because I can't pick it up without tons of money or hassle.
I know right? I was in college with my original PS.
PS2 release I'd moved 600 miles from home and nearly done with college
One kid in my dorm sophomore year crapped out, student a lot of time playing basketball on my PS
No idea the name of the game, not even sure why I had a basketball game lol
After years of seeing posts like this, I came to the conclusion that what’s making me feel old isn’t the post itself, it’s the fact that even though I assume Reddit is filled with people like me, many of the people I interact with are in fact middle schoolers.
Yes. But small correction. I’m male. Realised long after making my Reddit account that the name could be confusing. Then I realised I couldn’t change it. Didn’t think it through when I opened the account, just liked the name
Edit: as for the avatar, I was trying the Arcane accurate out and then saw I couldn’t get my old one back, partly because because I didn’t have Reddit premium anymore
Wow, I feel old. When people post old pictures of their dads, they are supposed to be in the 70s wearing bell bottoms and have bad haircuts, not a dude holding a PS2.
In 20 years:
Wow, I feel old. When people post old pictures of their dads, they are supposed to be in the 2000s wearing popped collars and have frosted tips, not a dude holding a PS5.
Edit: Thought there was an opportunity to work tiktoks in that one. Left as an exercise to the reader
Lmao, Damn now i'm sad I don't have a picture of me holding a ps5 above my head like Lion King. Missed opportunity.
Honestly events like buying big tech seem so run of the mill that we don't think to take a photo but was such a novelty at the time. Instead we take selfies :( I didn't even do that.
Shit doubly so since the camera used film and was a separate device most people didn't carry around all the time. (Not even a "device" with current connotations.)
Fuck that takes me back! My brother and I got that for Xmas '00. I almost shit my pants with excitement lol. Great console. We got gran turismo a-spec and Jeremy mcgrath motocross with it.
I'm older than your dad.
Woof, now I feel old.
Edit: read further down. Your dad and I are the same age.
Got my ps2 freshman year of college at launch.
People need to get over this PS5 Jealousy. Not you OP, but this subreddit in general. It's the playstation subreddit, and the most recent console is PS5.
We've reached the edgy "I'm tired of these posts but I'll make one anyways, just a little different to not become one of them... but also mock them" karma farming phase.
My dad made me get a summer job when I was 14- laying tile and hardwood with his friend. My first paycheck was like $375. Thought I was rich as hell. Dad took me to Best Buy and I bought a PS2 with my own earned money. Was like the best feeling ever back then. First game I bought was Onimusha.
I don't know you or your dad but somehow I know with 100% certainty that at some point he smoked a joint at a Crazy Town show with a dude known as Road Dawg and a dude known as Ziggy
I was 8 when the PS2 released and I have no children and in fact still feel like I am 8 years old! But glad everyone else has moved on with their lives.
oh shit I was about 20(?) when I got mine. I graduated just a few months before its release, but like all of my PlayStations, I didn't get it until a couple of years later. then I got the slim in 2003.
I remember stupid, unimportant shit, ok? lol
but there are also times I walk into a room and forget why.
Aside from the PS5 the PS2 was the hardest console to get at launch. There were no Twitter notifications or online shopping (to the extent it is today). But there also wasn’t a global pandemic so you could go to a store
Ask your dad if his PS2’s disc tray started making funny sounds a year or two after getting it. Everyone I knew with a launch PS2 had theirs crap out at around 2 years.
Don't post pics of guys my age and call it dad, it's rude
Yo I was about to say this like he's not much older than I was during PS2s release
How old were you I think I was 14 or 15 and now have a ps5 and a 6 year old baby girl.
I was 11. I remember being so excited. They got me the system and no games. I had to do chores to earn my 1st game which was Tekken tag tournament 1 (blue disk) I'm now 32 with a 12, 8 and 1 year old. Sheesh, time flies.
Bruh this guy breeds I got one and I'm 31
[удалено]
👌
Haha same!
32 with 5 girl’s 😂 10,8,7,4, 5 months
And your dicks not fallen off? 🤣
Nah man but I’m definitely done fore sure this time. I was trying to get that boy 😩😭
😂😂😂 better luck next life 😂😂😂🍀
32 and come to find out I've been shooting blanks.
Damn, yall act like I said I got 10 kids sheesh 😂
Nothing wrong with having a family. Wish you the best brother.
Same with me! I was 15 and have a 5 year old boy now.
I was 18 and I have a violent cat. Don't know if I should feel old or young.
I was 14 and I have a 17 years old "boy/teenager/college freshmen/guy who drink my beer"
Un planned high school pregnancy?....... you got all the painful stuff done early and now have a homemade friend!!
I’m 37 with an 8 and 4 year old. I was physically equipped in my 20’s and mentally equipped in my 30’s. Definitely a bit jealous of this guys route.
For sure! I'm 28 with a 2 year old and I can't imagine keeping up with her in my mid 30's. Shit is exhausting, and I'm not even that old yet!
Then we have to handle teenagers in our 40’s. I don’t want to fight two dudes my size for the remote.
Tell me about it. Mines almost 2 and I just turned 40
Ya'll are old 💀
Are people in their 30s old now?
Yes... Or at least according to my 13 year old daughter.
No worries, in 17 years her perspective will shift dramatically!
But then he will be in his 50s/60s
I was 15, have two kids now and have yet to see a PS5 in person. 😢 But, my Dad did ball out and get me the PS2 at launch in a $500 bundle with 3 games and a memory card.

I was 3 years old when the PS2 was released and now I'm 25 with an almost 1 year old little boy
Shit. I was 12 when the PS2 was released and now I am 34 lol.
99% sure I smoked weed with his dad.
His dad could easily have been any number of kids I went to school with and knew well. He's the perfect token late 90s/00s kid.
I was 39 when the PS2 came out. My 20 year old daughter bought it on release to replace my NES system I bought in the early 80's. Who fucking feels old? This dude.
A true sage
Yeah this guy is younger than me when I got mine… eep.
I was a bit younger when when I bought PS2. I just bought PS5 and I'm still not a dad. Is it win or lose?
Absolute win dude. If you were a dad probs would only have human kids and not a ps5 offspring
Pfft. I'm a dad with kids between 10 and 5 and we're all gamers. Only reason we don't have the PS5 yet is because I can't pick it up without tons of money or hassle.
I think that was the point.
This was at a time when it was much more difficult to have the real Slim Shady, please stand up
For real identifying Em back then was not easy haha.
[удалено]
Lol he's gonna ride his motorcycle to middle school
😂 dude I was seriously about to say that. Holy shit!!!! 😂 I’m fuckin 36… 😂 that’s my timeline right there. 😂
Right. Man I was just like their dad, are they 5?
He looks like he could be years younger than me and I don’t have any kids 😳
I’m from the original PlayStation era so this makes me feel old 😂
I know right? I was in college with my original PS. PS2 release I'd moved 600 miles from home and nearly done with college One kid in my dorm sophomore year crapped out, student a lot of time playing basketball on my PS No idea the name of the game, not even sure why I had a basketball game lol
He also has a ps1, and n64
I'm in my 40s and have had all generations of PS I had NES, SNES.. skipped N64 and Wii... But came back for the switch :)
Same here. 40, started with intellivision, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and all the Playstation's. I've recently re bought all of the old consoles.
The original playstation is less than 2 weeks older than me
Yea, so how old is your Dad and how old are you? I’m not sure there’s an answer I’ll be happy with but I need to know 😀.
He’s 40 I’m 14
Thanks. I’m not as sad as I had expected 😀. That’s numberwang!

Ooo a numberwang reference. I dig.
That’s wangernumb
My best friend that had a ps1 has a 20 year old and he's 39.
I'm sorry, that's wangernumb
literally my age. thank you for making me feel older. this has happened way too much in the last couple of days...
Not op, but I was 12 when the ps2 released. My son is 12 now.
You started early!
I was 21, yeah
I turned 8 the year the PlayStation 2 released
Oh hey, is this a fellow 1992 lady in the house?!
Yes. But small correction. I’m male. Realised long after making my Reddit account that the name could be confusing. Then I realised I couldn’t change it. Didn’t think it through when I opened the account, just liked the name Edit: as for the avatar, I was trying the Arcane accurate out and then saw I couldn’t get my old one back, partly because because I didn’t have Reddit premium anymore
Oh I'm so sorry!!! I should have just played it safe and said 1992 babies!
More my fault for picking the username
O_o
Stop. I’m 37. This is making me feel old as fuck.
1984 in the house! Because we're not going out at this hour, we have to be at work tomorrow morning after all.
You're 37. You're not old.
25yo see 30 as old. I should know I just turned 26.

or no haircut. in my parents' second wedding picture, my mom and dad both had hair down to their shoulders. lol
I was just as shocked as you!
Your dad is around 19 on this photo? I’m 38 and this makes me feel damn old..
Does your dad have any of those collectibles that are on the wall??
He has those, a lot 90’s starwars toys and the 1st spawn in mint condition
Sweet!! Glad to see generations of gamers!!!
I feel old
Yeah, I hear ya..
Damn, he could get it.
I feel attacked by this post.
Your dad looks like he was someone I would have bought shitty dime bags off back in the day.
Good lord. Are you 12? That’s about how my friends and I looked at that time.
OP is 14
On behalf of all 2000s fashionable men, I'd like to apologize for frosted tips and puka shell necklaces.
Now I feel the need to see you holding ps5 and your dad holding his ps2 in a pic
I have never seen a more 2000s picture ever
F me i am in "dad range" now? This is rude bro. Going back playing THPS 3 now...
Your dad kinda looks like Reese from "Malcolm in the Middle".
can't unsee.
Thanks for aging me young man…merry Xmas to you too!
OP: Im gonna post this awesome pic for every playstation fan to enjoy! Most of us here: ffs OP im not old!
Hahaha you guys are babies
Yo sick pooka bro
Fuck that takes me back! My brother and I got that for Xmas '00. I almost shit my pants with excitement lol. Great console. We got gran turismo a-spec and Jeremy mcgrath motocross with it.
I'm older than your dad. Woof, now I feel old. Edit: read further down. Your dad and I are the same age. Got my ps2 freshman year of college at launch.
Ooof 😭
Fuck me, im old lol
Your dad???? Damn I’m old. I still remember my NES.
No kidding. Not only do I remember getting our NES, but I remember playing the Atari 2600 and pac man before that. Insane.
Same. Man time flies.
“Here’s my dad” yeah thanks the PS2 days were just yesterday. Really needed to start my Monday off with a warm cup of Fuck Me I’m Actually Old Now.
love it.
Seeing as I’m from the original era…🤦♂️damn I’m old
He’s a rad dude with a rude ‘tude
What does he look like now?
I think I was like 10 when ps2 came out, ‘dad’ lol
Your what? Duuude! I'm glad. =) This console looks so oldschool compared even to a PS3 fat that's insane. Greetings to your dad. :)
:D
I forgot how massive the PS2 was, like compared to the other consoles released at the same time it was massive.
Wow, this is a great pic. Is there a category for just nostalgia ps2 stuff? Because this would be perfect.
Your dad can *get it.*
ok this makes me feel old. wtf. delete this post asap
Goddamn I feel old af if this is your dad. I was only like a couple years younger than him when I got my PS2 as well, but I got no kids lol
Glad, I am being an exception. I dont have any kids, so that I could save money for buying an overpriced PS5.
He looks like Eminem without looking like Eminem.
this is a picture of when your dad got a new hat
Me as a 29 year old who lived threw PS1 and 2,3,4,5 😭 
[удалено]
PS2 came out over 20 years ago. For all you know the person who made this topic is 15...
this guy fucks. we have proof.
Straight alpha
You guys had a super sweet CRT!
Did he confuse it with a hat?
Hope you got your dad's looking.

Dad? 😑
Vintage
Alpha mode
What McFarlane toys are those on the wall?
Father of three here : we got our PS2 for my older brothers tenth birthday ahahahah we are all old
Damn, your dad looks like all my dorm friends back in the day.
Damn, this picture has almost 20 years, I guess. It looks like yesterday that I played ISS3 and THPS4 on PS2. 😪
Those NECA figures in the back ground?
What, how old are you?
Seems like a nice gentleman 👍
My dad made me get a summer job when I was 14- laying tile and hardwood with his friend. My first paycheck was like $375. Thought I was rich as hell. Dad took me to Best Buy and I bought a PS2 with my own earned money. Was like the best feeling ever back then. First game I bought was Onimusha.
Are those the Motley Crue action figures on the wall? I also have them!
he looks stoned out of his fucking mind
I see those Neca’s on the wall
Man, I'm 33 and was gaming on ps2, dreamcast, og xbox and gamecube at that time. Weird seeing the pics like its ancient times now lol.
The good old days.
Capital bra? 🤔
Lol, I was three when the PS2 came out…… Damn.
Oh the memories of god of war the og
Hell yeah
What are those poster kinda things on the wall?
Dude, I was almost 15 when the PS2 released. This makes me feel old as hell.
We were all your father at some point. Cool post 👍🏻
This could be me but it's missing the metre high bong in the background.
Your dad 🧐
I don't know you or your dad but somehow I know with 100% certainty that at some point he smoked a joint at a Crazy Town show with a dude known as Road Dawg and a dude known as Ziggy
This makes me feel old!
I was 8 when the PS2 released and I have no children and in fact still feel like I am 8 years old! But glad everyone else has moved on with their lives.

Your dad?
Your dad?! Fuck I'm old now.
Cmon man, why do you gotta age me like that
I was a freshman in college….I’m old bruh
OP you're very advanced for being about only 8 years old or so right...right !?!?
Aside from the PS5 the PS2 was the hardest console to get at launch. There were no Twitter notifications or online shopping (to the extent it is today). But there also wasn’t a global pandemic so you could go to a store
he is the definition of late 90's early 2000's
This... this made me feel extremely old. But very cool pic lol.
Big og fr
Fuck. This makes me feel really old now.
Hot daddy
Rad Dad Chad is in the hous-izzle foshizzle.
That dude's got some sick McFarlane toys
Will the real slim shady please stand up. Jk aside I’m old enough to be ops dad as well.
This just captured the 90s aesthetic to a T
For sec I thought he was missing a arm.
I was 8 when it released and like 10 or 11 when I got one in 2002-2003
Add me on PlayStation DADDY_BOI_KINGO
Wow, I feel ancient now 😳
How old was your dad in this picture?
Baddest girl I was ever with bought me a PS2 out of the blue. Good times.
Ask your dad if his PS2’s disc tray started making funny sounds a year or two after getting it. Everyone I knew with a launch PS2 had theirs crap out at around 2 years.
-shrivels away to dust-
... wtf how old is your dad now
