    Thousands of people lined the streets of Tokyo hoping to be among the first to get their hands on Sony Playstation 2 which went on sale on Saturday morning.
    One shop in central Tokyo alone counted more than 5,000 people waiting outside on the night before the video consul was due to go on sale.
    Japan is the first country where playstation has gone on sale.
    It's launch has been much anticipated as the successor to Sony Playstation 1 which took the world market by storm.
    Some of Tokyo's usually orderly queues we briefly thrown in confusion in the early hours of Saturday, as computer game enthusiasts jostled to be the first to buy Sony's newly released Playstation 2.
    Crowds started to gather outside Tokyo stores on Friday evening, and reached such alarming numbers that the stores had to distribute coupons, guaranteeing the right to buy the highly sought-after game station.
    This largely had the desired effect of dispersing the waiting masses until the stores opened around dawn.
    Officially the sale of Playstation 2 was due to begin at 7am on Saturday, but this major store in Shinjuku opened its doors two hours earlier.
    The new games console has been eagerly anticipated.
    Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony's video game unit, plans to sell a million of the $360 Playstation 2 consoles here in its first round of shipments Saturday.
    Sony says the Internet home page for advance orders, which opened on February 18, was jammed with as many as 500-thousand hits a minute.
    Despite the cold weather of the early March, there was festive mood around town as computer enthusiasts camped out with common purpose.
    This shop had prepared 2,000 consoles in store and expect to sell out all by early afternoon.
    The shop took on 50 extra shop attendants and 20 additional security guards overnight to take on the rush of customers.
    The vast majority of buyers were male, and in their late teens to early twenties.
    SOUNDBITE (Japanese)
    "I am very happy! I really wanted to get this as soon as possible. So, it really was worth queuing up overnight."

      Yeah but back then if games have fatal bugs then there's no way to fix it. Soul Calibur 3 had a bug where it can wipe the entire memory card. Today it would be easily fixed by simple patch (that wouldn't take hours to download) but back in good old day, you just have take it. Even if they did release revised version, then you'd end up buying the same game twice.
      Good old days are good, but not perfect.

    Those beautiful blue launch boxes were like treasure. Still remember when I got my PS2 -- I'd had a used PS1 for a while but had always been a Nintendo kid. Getting a brand new PS2 felt like a step into a larger world. The whole thing felt incredibly futuristic, from the style of the packaging to the console itself, and of course that start-up screen. It was thrilling!

      It was a time era where you had not to worry about in game micro transactions and DLC, games that were cutted half their content, you had not to worry about subscription paid services neither. No it was just full games with great content and countless hours to spend, amazing diversity of gameplay experiences. There is no doubt of why it's still the best selling console ever. It was really worth the price it costed and the customer was not getting fooled. Great memories of that period... So much fun

      The internet may have united people from far places and different cultures, but it's limiting the real life approach.
      You see less and less interaction around, clubs, playgrounds, everything almost empty, soccer camps as if ghost towns...
      Especially for someone who doesn't uses social and smartphone excessively you will see the drammatic emptiness of those who have their mind projected on the WEB (what a coincidence that it's called like that...)
      I mostly hate that a lot of kids are already some kind of hikikomori, parents just give them a Tablet or Smartphone so they can stay quiet and obbedient...
      Their poor eyes, but most importantly their CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, what are they going to remember when they grow up ? The tablet game ? Or the friends and adventure, the beautiful moments outside, the nature...
      Give those kids some good memories, let them go out, make friends, play basketball, whatever !

      They leap in graphic were always crazy between PS1 to PS2 to PS3. At this time, getting new console really felt next gen. Apparently, PS3 is basically the start of the peak graphic, that why we don't see much leap to PS4, and PS5 is basically the same graphic as PS4. I still remember my jaw was drop seeing God of War 3 demo gameplay on PS3 for the first time. That shit was crazy leap from God of War 2 on PS2
