Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
Another major selling point over the Dreamcast was the PlayStation 2's ability to play DVDs, which gained it a presence in electronics stores which did not formerly sell video game consoles.
As of V4 everything was unified into one board, except the power supply.
However the New Slim Silver Models have more issues with playing PlayStation games than the first PS2 revisions.
PS2's opening day console sales eclipsed the previous record of 225,000 made by the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.
It is widely believed that Sony has abandoned support for the hard drive.
This allowed the PS2 to tap the large install base established by the PlayStation.
