Why are some PS2 game disc's blue?

if they were green they would die
I read something about the blue ones being cd roms rather than dvd

Blue discs are CD ROM
Blue uses the cdrom format therefore when you extract them they have a bin/cue. The normal colour ones are dvdrom and have just a nice clean iso file. Later dvdrom games like God of War and gran turismo were “double coated” allowing up to 8-9gb of storage. Pretty darn impressive for the mid 2000s
This
DVDs couldn't read with dyed plastic
Saves on storage and ram.
Blue is the most rendered color so by having all your bytes painted blue you don't have to render them anymore.
They're CD's with DRM, like the black PS1 CD's.
I can download 9 gb in just over a minute
This is the actual answer
The dyes were used to help consumers tell legitimate copies from bootlegs. Sony used blue for PS2 because they made a huge push for blue to be the official color of their branding (the blue LED in particular was state-of-the-art actually)
The DVDs couldn't use dyed bottoms for some reason
The weight of the cdrom blue backs were lighter than the dvdroms. Older PS2 models would have trouble reading blue backs once the disc drive got worn out. An easy fix was to surround the center hole with scotch tape. I still have a few games with the scotch tape on it.
Congrats on accomplishing that almost 2 decades after the products release.
Huh, well that's something I never knew, explains a fair bit in retrospect.
Oh u
Blue light has a higher frequency meaning data can be read quicker, this is also the reason red discs don't exist.

test run for blue ray
I remember having to tape a few discs once my PS2 started playing up. I had no idea the reason behind it, I just read it as a possible solution online.
kek
what is the joke
nice
ZOOMER LEAVE
booooooo
The tape was to weight down the disc so they would stay aligned with the optical laser once it spun.
FUCK YOU
And I'm taking a shit right now.
I wish I knew this as a kid. My older games just stopped working for some reason. I thought it was because my Rumble Racing CD got scratched and bought another one, which failed soon after because I played that game to death.
Hey that's a Mojo disc
Thought I was the only one who played that
>this is also the reason red discs don't exist.
They make them every color of the rainbow, it makes no difference
Does this mean Marty is actually dead?
is it something about the 360? I never had one
WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
BEGONE
explain the joke fag
nothing personal kid
blueback PS2 games are the fucking worst, they're so godamn loud
no
you will forever be
OUT OF THE LOOP
this seems like a disproportionate response for such an obscure reference
how many of you are samefagging
you bastard
it was a time when memes didnt spread as rapidly so there were fewer and they were better known
>obscure reference
how fucking young are you?
its not obscure you fucking zoomer
I'm 38
I know the song, but misheard song lyrics are obscure as fuck. I never personally heard them this way, it's obviously jibberish and I never saw this video.
>38
months?
I submitted like half of the replies to that post if that answers your question
That's what samefagging means, yes
>spoonfeeding retards
you should know better
kek
I love you.
That song is old enough to drink user
Young enough to have sex gramps
They never stopped playing it when I was in high school, but you have to know this specific video to get the joke. Actually the joke when I was in school was that the lyrics said "I'm in need of a guy" even though it's obviously gibberish
ok I admit, I smirked a bit
How is it?
Probably pretty bad if he's still shitting
>obscure
I've literally never met a person above the age of 18 who has not heard this song
I've heard the song and those are not the real lyrics
Haven't heard this misinterpretation of it. Haven't actually heard the song itself for probably a decade or longer
To break your ps2.

This is a pretty good quality bait. It's well made. But at the same time it's not really that funny and a bit too convoluted.
This is very poor quality, but it's funnier.
the blue ones never worked on my ps2
