Happy Birthday, PS2!
The PS2 celebrated its ninth birthday this week, counting from its October 26 launch way back in 2000. In that time nearly 10,000 titles from more than 485 developers have made their way to the system - which resides in one out of every three households in the US and is played by 140 million gamers worldwide.
The SOCOM series alone has logged over 530 million hours of online game time, equaling 60,000 years of online play. 60,000 years of Navy SEALs, people. And with its sub-$100 sticker price and devoted following, there's every chance the PS2 will be here to celebrate its "Bot" Mitzvah in a few years.

It is nice to know that back when I had my PS2, I helped log that many hours into socom. Oh how much I played that game... Brings back many memories.
