    Except the 140 million people who bought them. You retard
  • DeadlyCouncil, on 08/03/2008, -2/+110Damn, was that seriously 9 years ago? Now I feel old.
  • Frozenfuryblade, on 08/03/2008, -2/+72Nice copy comment loganhid.

    You're only 7 hours and 36 minutes late.
  • DyceFreak, on 08/03/2008, -11/+81The best part about them;

    They still work after 9 years :P
  • ZephyrNinety, on 08/03/2008, -6/+67I would like to:
    1) Buy all the games for PS2 for 3 dollars each.
    2) Not be charged $9,208 for shipping.
  • Shuk, on 08/03/2008, -1/+54All I have to say is: Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 3, Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus
  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -22/+65Why don't you reply to the comment, you retard.
  • ChinezePanda, on 08/03/2008, -5/+47You're a ***** idiot.
  • ChinezePanda, on 08/03/2008, -3/+44Raise a toast to this system.
  • ClemyNX, on 08/03/2008, -2/+36That little black box made me feel so many emotions I'll never forget
  • foldor, on 08/03/2008, -1/+33That's because it had an Emotion Engine. :p
  • dxgg, on 08/03/2008, -1/+32But...but...I just bought my first Playstation 2 last summer!
  • Visual77, on 08/03/2008, -5/+34Where are they getting the 9 year number? The earliest release was March 4, 2000, in Japan, with the rest of the world getting it that fall. That's only 8 years and some change, by my count.
  • CoreyTamas, on 08/03/2008, -2/+31Hey, cool! I didn't realize Steve Ballmer had a Digg account!
  • TheWorm, on 08/03/2008, -0/+25I'm 17 and that makes me feel old..
  • dhVyse, on 08/03/2008, -3/+27WOW, talk about spreading misinformation.. I do believe PS2 was one of the most successful and long running consoles ever.
  • Mootabolife, on 08/03/2008, -4/+27He must be talking about the Japanese band..

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobody_%28band%29

    That's the only way his sentence makes any kind of sense in the real world.
  • snareguy17, on 08/03/2008, -0/+22Amazon Prime, free 2 day shipping. :)
  • indios, on 08/03/2008, -0/+22I think they are trying to say it is into it's 9th year.
  • UnWeave, on 08/03/2008, -1/+22He did use the reply button. Idiot.
  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -7/+27PS2 forever
  • gamerscalling, on 08/03/2008, -2/+22Katamari
  • mywhitenoise, on 08/03/2008, -8/+27Nah. A year and a half into the PS2 I only had 5 games...The Bouncer (sucked) Dark Cloud, MGS2, Tekken Tag, Gran Turismo 3 (maybe FFX, if that came out in the first year and a half). A year and a half into PS3 I own 18 disc-based games for PS3, and another 9 downladed games. We're in a golden age right now.
  • 4321234, on 08/03/2008, -3/+21It's been 10 years since Sephiroth killed Aeris, and I'm still not ready to love again, never mind look at a playstation.
  • razrielle, on 08/03/2008, -5/+23Hell, my dreamcast gets more play then my ps2 now. need to keep those House of the Dead 2 skills up
  • tHeSiD, on 08/03/2008, -4/+22The State of the PC
    After thirty two years of running strong, how are the PC's golden years?
  • mywhitenoise, on 08/03/2008, -1/+18God Of War, Ratchet, Dark Cloud.
  • tehknotte, on 08/03/2008, -1/+17PS2 is where I first explored Vice City! it is also where I played games like I have never played before: things like Ico and Katamari Damacy!
  • cheez124, on 08/03/2008, -1/+16metal gear solid 3! ftw second best in series
  • Dylson, on 08/03/2008, -8/+23Such a good question, yet you are still a retard yourself.
  • kingmanic, on 08/03/2008, -0/+14FF XII, Disgae, pucel tactics, Persona 3, MGS2, Ico, Kingdom hearts...
  • cozinator, on 08/03/2008, -0/+14Good point - maybe that's why Sony's keeping it going with 130 more titles to be released this year.
  • mywhitenoise, on 08/03/2008, -2/+15There's always ebay and craigslist, and this...

    and if you already have a PS2, then why the hell do you need a BC PS3?
  • igraham09, on 08/03/2008, -0/+13Are you kidding me? Ratchet and Clank was a ***** brilliant game.
  • jordanlgta, on 08/03/2008, -0/+12http://www.coldtoast.com/images/toastSliceWhiteBkg ...
  • Bologner, on 08/03/2008, -6/+18All you need to know is Shadow of the Colossus.

    That game alone is worth the entire price of a new PS2, in this diggers opinion.
  • FriedTurkey, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11Why do I want another device to hook up to my TV? It would nice to be able to sell off my PS2.
  • HeroDreamerCS, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10I'm glad I'm not the only one still playing the hell out of the Dreamcast.
  • chinolofus, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10zephyr just failed the idiot test.
  • cthellis, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10Dreamcast has some great stuff, and quality titles that extended at least a year after the PS2's launch. Sega just didn't have the staying power.

    Hell, Dreamcast was worth it just to have Soul Calibur around until SC2 came along. ;-)
  • geebs61, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10When Tekken what?
  • Lionhart, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10Actually it came out March 2000 in Japan and Late 2000 everywhere else. So that would make it 8 years old at most.
  • ChinezePanda, on 08/03/2008, -1/+11Welcome to digg you prick. The door is on your left.
  • cthellis, on 08/03/2008, -2/+12PS2 Year One: March 2000 to Feb 2001
    PS2 Year Two: March 2001 to Feb 2002
    etc.
    etc.
    etc.
    PS2 Year Nine: March 2008 to Feb 2009
  • Darkangel754, on 08/03/2008, -2/+11I'm hanging around with you when the zombie outbreak happens
  • knowitman, on 08/03/2008, -3/+12So you are saying that you bought a system for all of the great games, but that it was a terrible system even though it had great games? What defines a system then?
  • indiancompanion, on 08/03/2008, -1/+9i think game cube is pretty much dead too, just like the original xbox
  • mrcoldcow, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8I've had my ps2 since may of 01, and I'm still buying games for it.

    Serious kudos to Sony for still being able to get money from me even though I have a wii and xbox360 now.
  • SigmaDraconis, on 08/03/2008, -0/+7Retard-level trolling from reastydirtstar, and people still reacted. smh
