Sony Says Final Goodbye To Legendary PlayStation 2 Console
PlayStation 2 owners had roughly two-and-a-half months to fill out an online form to have their console repaired one last time. Those who did not register by the August 31st deadline were still able to physically send their consoles to the PlayStation Clinic service center in Japan. Any PlayStation 2’s that arrive after September 7th will not be repaired.

The PlayStation 2 was released in March 2000 in Japan and October 2000 in North America. It is considered the best-selling video game console of all time. Sony sold over 155 million units and over 3,000 PlayStation 2 game titles were made available. Some of its best-selling titles included Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Final Fantasy X, God of War, and Kingdom Hearts. The PlayStation 3 was launched in 2006, but the PS2 continued to be an incredibly popular console. The PlayStation 2 was officially discontinued in 2013.
Sony currently has a few consoles up its sleeve. The company just released a translucent blue PlayStation 4 Pro 2TB limited edition console to celebrate the sale of 500 million PS4 consoles since their launch in 2013. There is also a rumor that Sony may revive the PlayStation 1. It appears that Sony has been inspired by the success of the sales of other retro consoles such as the NES Classic and SNES Classic.
