Happy 25th anniversary to the PS2 in North America. It came out in Japan first (as you'd expect, the PlayStation did too) but the hype grew so big for this one it immediately became hard to find. I had to order mine direct from Sony because I didn't pre-order it and couldn't find it in stores anywhere. I still remember that I didn't even have any PS2 format games for it when my package arrived, so I plugged it in and just listened to the startup and the menu screen until I finally put in a PS1 game or a DVD. Later that night I went to the store and the only PS2 game they had in stock was Madden 2001. All the memories come flooding back thinking of this day a quarter of a century ago. You know what's funny? Madden 2001 was actually in stores BEFORE the console. A full week ahead. I could have had it ready and waiting to go.
