Growing up, I always thought this was one cool T-shirt, Led Zeppelin's label: Swan Song.

1: a song of great sweetness said to be sung by a dying swan
2: a farewell appearance or final act or pronouncement

ps2 like most modern systems is copy protected. many people wouldn't be able to play the unofficial games.
