The popular "Perfect Catalog" series thoroughly dissects retro home consoles from both a hardware and software perspective.
The latest installment features the PlayStation 2, Sony's home game console released after the PlayStation.
More than just a successor to a hugely successful game console, it garnered intense attention from its initial announcement due to its backward compatibility (allowing PlayStation software to run directly) and DVD VIDEO playback capabilities, ultimately selling 150 million units.
This perfect catalog, exploring the appeal of the PlayStation 2 from both a software and hardware perspective, is presented in two volumes.
Each volume boasts a large B5 format and the largest number of pages in the series, at 256 pages!
This perfect catalog is sure to be an invaluable resource for anyone discussing the PlayStation 2.
