Gran Turismo isn’t the only Sony legend we’re remembering today.

PlayStation 2 celebrates its tenth European birthday today, having launched in Europe on Friday, November 24, 2000.
Japan celebrated the machine’s tenth anniversary in March, with the US following suit last month.
The PS2 era played host to sequels of Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and more, but the console was best noted for the evolution of Grand Theft Auto with GTA III.
Two more games in the series – Vice City in 2002 and San Andreas in 2004 – were timed PS2 exclusives, the latter being the biggest-selling game on the platform with just under 20 million units sold as of February last year.
PS2’s slim form-factor released in 2004.
Ten years on the platform is still alive, with both games and hardware bundles still releasing. Those David Lynch ads clearly worked.
God bless you, you multi-coloured marvel. Never die.

@Alexander S77, i hear you man . Si eu ma bucur cand vad ca inca apar jocuri pt ps2, consola inca se vinde si inca e foarte populara desi are 10 ani vechime. Dupa mine, Playstation 2-ul va fi cea mai buna/inovativa/indragita consola dintre toate cele zeci si sute aparute . Incredibil ce impact a avut ps2-ul asupra lumii gaming-ului. Long live PS2 ! Si la multi ani PS2-ului inca odata <:-p
