Tekken Tag + Midnight Club (pretty sure it was MC) = my Ps2 launch.

So many great memories on that console...

I remember having a 'Dreamcast fund' all those years ago, but that quickly changed into a PS2 fund.

What the-disagrees? I can almost not believe were getting diagrees on complimenting a system-on it's birthday! Well anyways good times ps2, first game metal gear 2, first online game socom a good 200 hours on that gem. It's almost nostalgic the remembering all those times...

[predator]

never got into the online element of the ps2, saying that after gta san adreas i hardly played the ps2, i was always out doin stuff that would later get me in some sh!t,lol, went through a boy racer phase with the kitted out corsa,sex and drugs., left the gaming world behind for a few years, then got my head straight and im back in, whooo

[sfinXters]

@7.1 - same here - I left gaming for almost 3 years in favor of sex and booze. Now I've finally managed to get everything together.

[predator]

yeah its nuts how you do that, it was one hell of a long party but u just end up hurting people and getting in debt, i would prob still be in it if it wasnt for my gf.

PS2 is alive and still kicking. It's good to know that the XBot's favorite console isnt even a Micro$hit platform. It's Sony and it's PS2 and will be PS3 next year.

Hopefully Sony reveals a suprise about the PS3 for today or tommorow in celebration of the PS2.
