October 25th 2000, 5:30 PM - I remember I had just gotten off work and had called to see if a friend wanted to go with me to Wal-Mart to stand in line for a couple hours. That night, around 9:45 we arrived and went straight to the layaway area of the store and realized that we should have arrived sooner.
You see, we ended up numbers 39 and 40 in the line, but there was a shortage of the system and that Wal-Mart only had 24 of them in-stock. We would only find this out a few minutes after midnight (October 26th). So, to not waste the trip, I ended up purchasing Tekken Tag Tournament and a vertical stand.
After a little over a week, I found a system on eBay with a memory card, tv 4-port s-video switch box and DOA 2 Hardcore - all for around $500.00, and the seller even ended up being from my state.
Long story short - happy birthday to the Sony PlayStation 2.
