Well for some of you, it's been long over, but Gamestop has announced that they plan to remove Playstation 2 games to make room for the Wii U.

That pretty much means for any brick and mortar retailer, that and ps2 games left will be on clearance to make wave for Wii U as well.

So the end of an era has come. 12 years later (!!!), the Playstation 2 is riding into the sunset. Yes, a few games still are being released for it (This month, FIFA 13 and PES 2013) will be released for it. I digress, let's face it folks, the era is over. With it, as the last rider of the 6th generation posse that consisted of: The Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube, The Xbox, The Gameboy Advance Line, Neo Geo Pocket, and Swancrystal and GP32 (okay and ol' taco phone, N-Gage too.)

With that aside, I highly advise people if they need any parts for their Playstation 2 (controllers, memory card, etc.) might be a good time to get it now, or at the very least within the next couple weeks.

I hit up my local gamestop to see what they have left, and it seems that most of what's left is incomplete game scraps. I did manage to nab 4 for my collection:

Chaos Wars, PS2, Complete, $8, Known for it's hilariously bad English voice acting. it's a crossover RPG consisting of characters from Aruza, Atlus, RED, and Idea factory.

PaRappa The Rapper 2, PS2, Complete, $6

Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland, PS2, Complete, $8

Shin Magami Tensei Nocturne, PS2, Used, $18 (Quite a coincidence since I've gotten into the Shin Megami Tensei series)

Looking over my collection, I stillsee there's plenty of games from the 6th gen that still need to be played. Sad as I might be, I shall be enjoying the 6th Gen for years to come with memories, and some new ones.
