    PlayStation 2 shipments in Japan are officially done (end of the sixth-generation)

    Do you still own one? Still play on it?

    Link.


    edit:

    Microsoft discontinued the Xbox in 2007 after just 6 years on the market.

    Nintendo discontinued the GameCube in 2007 after just 6 years on the market.

    Sega discontinued the Dreamcast in 2001 after just 2 years on the market. It was the last console released by Sega.

              well if you had a ps3, you could play both lol. its amazing how how they went before pulling the plug. back to the article: 1st game played was either FFX or KH, bought both at the same time so i dont remember. last game was Kinetica, pretty fun. as far as my favorite, probably gonna go with Dark Cloud. 5 different characters, each with their own special abilities and weapons that you could upgrade. not to mention one weapon was a talking sling shot named steve lol

                I bought a fat PS2 used when I was 12 in '04 with $100 in Christmas money plus a bunch of saved up allowance money when my mom's PS1 stopped turning on all of a sudden. It was the first game system I ever owned and needless to say I adored the crap out of that thing and over the years I bought tons of games for it, until one gloomy day in 2011 it stopped reading games.

                I sold it and bought a Silver Slimline PS2 that I have now, and at the moment I have 73 games for it. So the news that the PS2 is finally throwing in the towel makes me a bit sad.

                I still don't have an Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii, and have no plans to buy one in the near future.

                      if youre gonna buy a ps3, find a used 80GB. 100% backwards compatible, 4 USB slot, good few different card readers, and if im not mistaken, they have the ability to format back to software version 1.0 if those who like to cfw. the hard drive is super easy to switch out cus lets face it, 80 isnt gonna do anyone any good

                        Crashfan says he has no plans to buy a PS3 in the near future...

                        BETTER START GIVING ADVICE ON WHAT TO BUY

                        OT: Still have my fat PS2 from the day it came out. Still functions and reads everything fine.

                        The system had a good long run.

                        Edit: Just noticed the article mentions Rogue Galaxy... <333
