Playing the PS2 again after 20 years!

After spending £40 on a professional console repair through CEX, we're putting the PlayStation 2 to the test with some absolute classic games. From SSX Tricky to WRC Extreme, we're diving back into the nostalgia to see if the repair was worth the money. Question is: was it worth it?

The verdict? £40 well spent! The PS2 came back within a week and works perfectly. Now we just need to sort out the proper upscaling setup for lag-free retro gaming.
