I've been dusting off my PS2 lately - the DVD player was a goner a long time ago, but with the new PSBBN patches it's trivial to launch some of the old games from an SSD for that nostalgia hit.
One thing that I don't remember being as annoying is the lack of a "Quit" button in games and a "Shutdown" button in the main menu.
I remember finding it odd when the next generation of consoles added a home button (it's not a PC, why would you want to go back to the main menu?), but in hindsight, that's super helpful .
(I know that there's some homebrew to add a shutdown button to the main menu, but it's kind of useless if I need to reset the console to get back to it)
- Want to stop playing? Get up!
- Want to change games? Get up! (To be fair, back then you would have to do that anyway)
- Want to load a different save file? Get up!
- Want to change settings? Get up!
