I can’t believe it’s been nine years since I stood outside in the cold to be one of the first people to get a Playstation 2. On October 26th, 2000, millions of people just like me were doing the same thing. And some of us ended up having to wait a couple extra days to get one as there were some shipping delays with certain retailers.

By the end of the current fiscal year there will be nearly 10,000 titles available for the PS2. That is one massive library! Some really great titles have been released on the system: Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, SOCOM: Navy Seals, Final Fantasy X, XI and XII, and of course Gran Turismo 2 and 3.

So boot up those PS2s and show them some birthday love!
