so the ps2 is dead?

i went to search ps2 games on game spot and there is no more site for ps2.it's kinda lame.i wanted to buy more ps2 game for the next month.

The PS2 site is still around. You just can't access it from the top anymore.

But yeah, I would say the PS2 is just about dead at this point.

I still see major store chains selling PS2 consoles and PS2 games. The fact that most of the PS3 systems are not backwards compatible, should keep some sales for the PS2. My Ps2 broke a few months ago and I went out to purchase a brand new system.

No, GS just replaced that for the 3DS tab.nintendoboy16

I honestly hadn't noticed that until now! :P
Anyway, the PS2 is a great system, but let's face it, its days are over.

How has it lasted this long?!

No way! I remember reading something on here a couple of weeks ago about how they were still selling like hot cakes internationally! I guess the removal of backwards capatibility on the newer PS3 models may have something to do with it.

if store selling ps2 i will keep buying ps2 game cuz it's realiable and fun.most of the game have clearance bonus and you can play it twice and more:P

The Playstation 2 is now dead. The last games are something like the baseball game the Bigs 2011 and the WWE wrestling game WWE superstars both are just about to be realeased March 29th and April 4th (IF I remember correctly) Then that is it for PS2.

There may be a few more last games in 2011 but that is it. 2011 is the last year of the Playstation 2. I'm thinking of buying the PS2 version of the WWE game just because it is one of the last PS2 games released. The PS2 version is only $30.00 new even though I have Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. I will buy the Playstation 2 game. Just to "call an end to the sixth generation of videogame consoles"

PS2 has finally ended in 2011, Not bad for a system who's first games were available in the 2000.

Playstation 2 Oct 2000- May 2011 Rip

Sony will mostlikely announce the lastday of the Playstation 2 this year when the final one rolls off the assembly line in 2011.

Wow, amazing that the system came out 11 years ago. I was just starting high school when the system came out. I ended up getting the system in the summer between high school and my first semester of college. The very end of high school, as the Dreamcast and N64 kept me busy during that period of my life. The PS2 is the main reason I was late getting into this generation of systems

Wow after 11yrs, it may be dead. But obviously there're still a lot of ppl playing it (including me). This is one legendary console!

i find it funny that the 6th gen is finally ending when the 7th gen handhelds are about to end lol

Oh man, didn't even notice that. Yeah, kind of sad that the PS2 is considered 'legacy' now.

I've been playing nothing but PC for a while. I booted up a game of Freedom Fighters and was shocked at how terrible it looked. It gave me bad deja vu of the time my friend gave me her N64 after we had been playing gamecube for ages, and I turned on Mario 64 and was amazed to see that it no longer seemed photorealistic (I was 11 >_>).

Also kinda frightening how the older games start to feel clunky now. You can complain all you want about how modern games are simplified gameplay-wise, but if they got only one thing right it's more fluid controls (unless you're talking about some broken bargain bin junk game).

It's weird. Technology marches on.

How has it lasted this long?!

The PS2 is on its last legs. The only games that come out for it are sports games and ports from PSP. I say that we might see madden 11 on it and then that is it. The system has been in stores almost 11 years. I would say it had it's run. I wonder how long the PS3 will remain on shelves when the next generation starts? Not just the PS3, but I wonder how long the current generation systems will sell along side the next generation? I don't see Microsoft supporting the 360 after they come out with their next system. I say they will immediately stop production of the 360 when the new one comes out just like they did with the first Xbox. I say PS3 will last one year after PS4 comes out. The Wii brand is too popular just to take off the market, I say that Nintendo will keep it going at least 2 years after the next Nintendo comes out.

I'd say it's dead. But not for me! it's still the system I buy the most games for, because you can quality titles so cheap nowadays it's almost crazy! but i'm not complayining ^^

No not quite.

PS2 dead you say? HAHA never.

Sony is still officially supporting it but let's face it - it's a dead console and only interesting because the PS3 lacks backwards support (except for the discontinued 60 gb model) and because it's cheap.

There are no good games comming for it anymore, let alone exclusives.

The PS2's gaming library is way too huge for it to ever die. The list of great games on that platform still out number the ones on most current consoles. Now do I play it as much? Nope.Dead?Nope. Maybe in a retirement home and gets brought out every once in a while for some fresh air.lol

When we talk about the "death" of a console we usually mean that there are no more noteworthy games comming out for the system. From a certain perspective even the Atari 2600 is still "alive" because it's still getting homebrew games. But the prime of the console is long over and so is PS2's now. Which, of course, doesn't mean that the console won't live on as a legacy platform.

they don't make ps2 games anymore but it still has one of the strongest game libraries out there

Pretty much...sad, I love the console...if it ever goes out to where gamestop won't sell it anymore, I'll keep it plugged up, even with new stuff coming out for others, my PS2, as many times as I've hated it for its slowness, I still love it.

Man, are people beating a dead horse or what? How many of these "Is PS2 Dead?" threads do we get? We must get one a week on here.
