PlayStation 2 Timeline, From Launch to Present

Decaffeinated Jedi writes "GameSpy has posted a timeline charting the history Sony's PlayStation 2, the third part in a series previously covered on Slashdot that includes similar retrospectives for the Xbox and for GameCube. The timeline traces the PlayStation 2's history from its initial boom, through its period as 'a repository for bad sports games, giant robot games, and other disappointing releases,' and up to the console's revitalization by such games as Gran Turismo 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry, and Grand Theft Auto III." How has the PlayStation 2 measured up to your expectations?

    It's Gamespy, dude. The only lines they know about are made of cocaine and their biased ranting.

    Oh yeah, great idea...

    the poster asks for a console to play around with for various "NET-RELATED THINGS"; if you can find a Dreamcast broadband adapter for under $100, you're finding it cheap.

    Come on...net-related things...it's right there in that guy's post. Read all of the posts you reply to and then reply.

    Gameboy?

    Not to mention the fact that the Gamecube is the first optical disc system Nintendo released, so how would it be backwards compatible?

    Also, wow, I didn't know Microsoft released a system before the Xbox, and before you start spouting some bullshit about how you didn't say that Microsoft has released a system before it, your post implies it by just mentioning the Xbox.
