PS2 ends its run in Japan

[PimpLimp]

It's been a long journey, but the time has finally come.

Damn. I need to buy a new Japanese one for when my old fat JP one bites the dust.

Still have my phat ps2 going strong!

It is logical end to one of best gaming consoles. Rest in peace PS2.

 

[Blaster man]

I guess PS2 gamers can skip straight to the PS4 then.

It was my favorite last gen and in my top 3 of all time. It was a great system.

Congrats.

My ps2 has been my most active console, yet it works just as well after more than a decade, if I don't count temporarily unresponsive controllers, corrupt memory cards and semi-scratched disks. Great system from the greatest generation of gaming.

This was the most interesting part of the article to me.

The system just launched in Brazil back in 2009.

Godspeed you wonderful, little bastard!

One for me...and one for my hommie!

 

[whoknows]

Best system ever.

No console since or before has had such a wide variety of games. Kind of sad this day has finally come.

UPDATE: PS2 production has come to an end worldwide.

It now seems pretty obvious to me that these resources are now going toward the next-gen Sony console.

How sad....
Was also wondering though, how come PSP and VITA games do not fit one another?
It was great how PS1 and PS2 were compatible

One of my all time favorite consoles and probably favorite gen.

Best bang for your buck console.
