The PS2 is no longer being shipped in Japan
Its over. The PS2 has finally stopped being produced in Japan. Sony Computer Entertainment announced this news today.
Japan is the last region which still received brand new PS2 systems. Well, the last region out of the big three. I believe the console is still shipping in some other countries which didn’t receive it until long after it arrived in stores in 2000.
But for the most part this is a big deal. The PS2 keeps its crown as best-selling console of all-time at nearly 150 million consoles. Well, best-selling console. If we’re counting the DS then it may not be the #1 selling gaming device ever.
Nonetheless the PS2 was a juggernaut. It lasted a long time and it won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Some people still argue that the PS2 has a superior software library in comparison to current consoles and you’d have a hard time convincing them otherwise because the PS2 has possibly the best library ever.
About fucking time indeed... most people got way more powerful smartphones these days, so go figure. I know that the PS2 is the only available console in some African countries, but im sure it won't matter that much.

I still have my phat PS2 (with Swap Magic). I had it hooked up all these years in a playable state. I even played a few times a few days ago, before buying the PS3. It's a cool coincidence that the day after the PS2 stops being produced.
moded ps2 with a soft Free McBoot moded memory card ...
one makes it a region free console that plays any burned discs ,
the other turns your ps2 into a emulation console , enables games from HDD USB or LAN like in RGH
the only big hick up is you have to have a TUBE TV or a LCD that can decode and display Interlaced video , if not your forced to buy Component cables but then its only 720x480i so you have to buy a converted that can upscale with no delay to 720x480p Progressive Scanning ... digital TVs are now only progressive and have horibble problems with double frames that Interlaced resolutions brought to fake 60fps
ps3 shot them selfs in the foot when they disabled the ps2/ps1 backward compatibility , ps3 did wonders to the image of games of ps2 , it perfectly upscaled it , it was perfect ... but yeah then those MILKING HD VERSIONS WOULD NOT EXIST ey?
if you can get the fat version it has a internal HDD that can speed up loading if you will play from HDD , because on ps2 the USB was only 1.1 so to plau game from HDD you have to use Lan or soldier the ide hdd to the motherboard
Why are people saying "RIP"? The console's not dead, they just stopped making them -- you'll still be able to find them in stores for another 1 year or so, at least.
Absolutely the best software library, I mean some of the best games today are just HD remakes of PS2 titles; witch is pretty laughable for the current gen machines.
I still have my FAT PS2, and I'd still play it if I could figure out a way to make play games of a external HDD... as it is, I had a great time with it, playing a lot of great games!
