Why the PS2 Is G.O.A.T. Material

Sony Japan is finally ending its PS2 repair service after 18 years.

This story is trendy AF. It’s legendary though and offers a great perspective on what the PS2 means to gaming.

The fact that the PS2 is just now being laid to rest across the globe is proof that the Sony console is G.O.A.T. Fun fact, according to my boys Wiki and Kotaku, “Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin” was the last PS2 game to be released ever in Japan back in 2013. That’s not long ago. It’s a testament to the PS2’s longevity and legacy that players should respect.

Me, being the weeb I am, would play the last-last-gen system to this day if I had one. Some of my favorite gaming moments can be traced back to RCA cables and “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.” Things that represent the PS2 in a big way. Take yourself back to those dope times for a sec. Maybe you’re having a coke, basking in the sweet, burning-hot glow of your CRT TV, enjoying one of your favorite games. Pretty cool to reflect on that, huh? Oh yes, the PS2 is G.O.A.T. all right.

So, goodnight sweet prince!
