Why were PS2 discs blue?

Needed to keep the system from overheating. Red ones are faster but generate more heat. Come on I thought this was common knowledge.

I had a PS2 and I didn't know this

the blue ones are cds you idiot

Because they are CDs while the normal ones are DVDs. It is a storage thing

blue is cd silver is dvd

these

If they were green I won't buy

You got a problem with that, whiteboi?

CD

da ba de da be die da be de da be die

To destroy Slim models.

The CD ROM games made the PS2 so much louder.

easier to weed out fakes

A bunch of early ps2 games were cd for some reason and they were blue. They look cool but I can tell my ps2 doesn't like reading them because they take longer to boot.

piracy stuff

CDeez nuts

you know its a fake disk if its not blue.

>PlayStation 2 software is distributed on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM; the two formats are differentiated by the color of their discs' bottoms, with CD-ROMs being blue and DVD-ROMs being silver

pretty sure i've seen some dvds being gold as well (rtcw: operation resurrection was one of those)

ps1 had a HUGE market of chiped ps1 and pirated games to the point it was insane... so ps2 blue discs maybe for copy protections or something.

Just checked a few ebay listings and none were gold. The only kind of gold CD I have seen was that StarCraft source code disc

>that one blue demo disc you spent weeks playing
What was yours? For me it has Hitman 2, Ratchet & Clank's Metropolis level and Tekken 4.

Why the wii U discs had rounded edges?

The most popular PS2 games were DVDs.

I think some ps2 discs were blue and others were silver or gold
I think the silver ones were CDs and blue ones were DVDs
I thought the blue ones were cool as fuck

the one mailed from playstationunderground deleted all your fucking save files if you played the viewtiful joe demo. a year or two later, they gave us a free game. most of the games in the selection list were 20-dollar greatest hits titles

Wait blue ones are CDs
Although one of my ps2 CD games was silver so im not entirely sure

not like full on gold, but a goldish tint to it

erm you sure about that?

Oh right, DVDs do look like that at times. Just the quality of material used
