Many people have said that the PS2 was the greatest console of all time and I have to agree. It is still the most successful console in the history of the video game industry. Here we are eight years later and it still has some life. Even while the PS3 was ramped up and launched we had great games coming out for the PS2 like Yakuza 2, Persona 3 and 4, Odin Sphere, The Red Star, Rogue Galaxy, and many others. It was the perfect mix of hardware, amazing software, phenomenal 3rd party support and great marketing.
It was a great time to be a gamer, but all of life is in flux and things were about to change in both my life and gaming technology.

Love my 360, like Halo, but there are much more changes then that...what happens when a gamer grows up and still wants to play while building their life/career?
Part three will be up on the weekend.

I then found out that Square would not support the Nintendo 64 due to their insistence on cartridges
Yea..Who would have thunk that such a brilliant video game company couldn't foresee the technical advantages of CD-Rom. I was really pissed at Nintendo at the time, though, I freakin loved Star Fox64. In essence, PS1 was supposed to be the CD-Rom drive for Nintendo. Can you imagine what the gaming world would be like if that deal got the green light?
