PS2 Design Flaw: Controller Port vs. Memory Card Slot

A common frustration among PlayStation 2 owners is the confusing similarity between the controller port and memory card slots. Many gamers have accidentally tried to insert a controller into the memory card slot due to their nearly identical size and proximity. "I've often put the controller down and tried to plug it into the memory card slot by accident," says More 1980sGamer in his video highlighting this design flaw. This contrasts with the GameCube, which has a much clearer distinction between the two ports. While a minor issue, it highlights a design oversight that could have been easily avoided. The issue serves as a reminder of the importance of user-friendly design in gaming consoles.
