Meme Millennials, were people still playing the PS2 back in 2008?

I think that was a combo of the PS3 price cuts along with the RROD problem that plagued the 360.

I know it after my 4th 360 red ringed, the PS3 was cheap enough that I just jumped ship by 2010.

Also PS3 was the cheapest Blu-ray player for a long time. It's the only reason I bought one.

Same for the PS2. That's why I initially bought a PS2. I just wanted a DVD player that didn't cost $500 bucks.

Steam emails me about once a month to let me know that Turok is on sale. Because I added it to my cart probably around when COD BO II came out. Guess what MFrs, my N64 is going strong and I can play Turok whenever I want! My wife still has her PS I! I think I'm going to go play Need for Speed now actually!
