And so...I raise my glass to, what I can say with no doubt, the best console ever made.

:beerchug:

Thanks, PS2!

Dear PS2,

May you rot forever in the puddle of slime and poop that you created!

:beerchug:


ok seriously now...

mods, how is this not considered trolling/flaming?

that post is everything that is wrong with GT, and it shouldnt be tolerated.

cany, you can go tell your little friends that the PS2 should rot, but keep it out of my thread.

[Jonbo298]

Happy Birthday *smacks Canya* :p

[DarkMaster]

Ah memories, the PS2 has had a nice run indeed. If this old girl could talk, she'd probably say "Scott, I'm f*ckin sick of rpgs".


Here's to many more years. :beerchug:

That would be an amazing pickup, my friend.

You can remain a Nintendo faithful while enjoying the entire library of Playstation 2 games.

Plus, the PStwo is just damn sexy ;)

[MuGen]

nobody has ever said it better... + rep Stu...

[MuGen]

Happydude.... someday..... someday..... lol but you're better off saving up for the PS3 if you have held off on the PS2 this long.....

[Happydude]

Happydude.... someday..... someday..... lol but you're better off saving up for the PS3 if you have held off on the PS2 this long.....
as long as it can play ps1 and ps2 games...i think that's what i'll do.

[MuGen]

Well of course it will.... thats one of the first things Ken Kutaragi CONFIRMED for the PS3 was consistent backwards compatibility.

[Perfect Stu]

confirmed PS2 playback...undecided on PSone playback

[MuGen]

in any case, I can get a ps1 for like $20....... so if it doesn't even have that I'll buy psone again....lol

[bobcat]

Happy birthday you..........Sony product.

[Canyarion]

Haha, I guess you didn't see the humor of that. :p

I should have added something like j/k. :unsure:

Congrats!

[MuGen]

We all know you despise the Sony console franchise!!!

lol...... I'm glad you were just kidding Cany....

[DimHalo]

I didn't really want to make a new thread for this but I thought it would fit in here:

Someone on my campus is selling modified PS2's. The way they spoke about them in the flyer, I think they are flip-top consoles. I thought it sounded neat but no pictures.


Happy Birthday to the PS2... you shall be modified for many years.

[MuGen]

That would be so cool if the PS3 is customizable with front and rear and side panel customization like on cars, with customizable cover and such... LOL

[Happydude]

yeah...and you would be able to change/upgrade the CPU and video card and stuff

and put a spoiler on it and tint the windows and put on a new exhaust for it to sound cooler and, and...OMG! SO COOL!!!

























:rolleyes:

[Perfect Stu]

very mature, happydude.












...you forgot the nitrous and chrome rims

[MuGen]

i wasn't going for that kinda stuff Happydude.... more towards the customization that you would do to a cellphone...

cars aren't the only think you can hook up.

Imagine a custom Chrome plated Dragon design you can replace your stock PS3 cover with. Remember those CD Lid stickers that came with PSM that you can put on your PSX?

So everyone would have some sort of uniqueness to their ps3.

AN EVENTFUL EVENING

I recently spoke to the Corporate Headquarters over at SCEA via the number they have on Playstation.com

I told them about my idea with the PS3 and having 1st party and 3rd party companies design unique plate covers for the hardware design so they could sell those aside from the console.

"Wow, that sounds like an awesome idea, Pepito(my real name). I will definitely pass this up to the R&D and see what they can do about this. With your permission of course?"
QUOTE:
me, "Of course, of course!"
QUOTE:
"Well it was wonderful speaking with you today, Pepito. I'll make sure that idea gets acknowledged. I actually do like that idea... and you don't know how many ideas, suggestions I get from consumers daily."
QUOTE:
"Thank you... just make sure it happens!"
QUOTE:
"Ha, I will do my best... Have a good day!"



HAHAHAHAHAHA.... THE CONSUMERS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

PS3 WILL BE CUSTOMIZABLE IF MY IDEA GOES THROUGH!!

[Canyarion]

:rolleyes: And you gave away that idea for free? In the other topic you said you were gonna give me 10% of your $100,000,000! :mad:

[Perfect Stu]

KYUZO! YOU JUST SAVED SONY!


Please sign this form indicating that you did not save Sony...:deal:


[/simpsons reference] ;)

what he said...


:stupid: *refering to Pepito*



EDIT: that's the second time in a week that i posted that for u :p


btw, i don't hate you :) i'm just joking around...in a semi-serious way.

[Perfect Stu]

SEMI-SERIOUS?!

oh hell no...it's ON, now...and I'm not even involved



:boxing:

[bobcat]

I think both of you (HappyDude and Perfect Stu) are forgetting the most important thing.........*points to signature*

With that being mentioned........well actually there's not much really more to add.........so I will leave you all on that note.
