$70 for UMK3 and SFA2. Wow.

Also LOL at the "photo-realistic 3D graphics" bit on the Sega Saturn.

My second console, and probably the one I've spent more hours gaming on than any other. Sad to see it go in the last region it was being manufactured.

Sony's second console has been around for an extraordinarily long time and spanned a mind-boggling number of gaming epochs. When it was released, the Nintendo 64 was still Nintendo's flagship console (it has since been replaced by the Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U), its primary competition was Sega's Dreamcast, and Microsoft's Xbox didn't even exist. 3D games hadn't yet come to handheld consoles—Nintendo's 8-bit Game Boy Color wouldn't be replaced by the Game Boy Advance until 2001, and the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable were still nearly five years off. Smartphones and tablets as we know them weren't yet a glimmer in anyone's eye. And yet, through all of this technological progression, you could still hop on Amazon and order a new PlayStation 2.

Just puts into perspective how insanely long the PS2 has been with us.
