This is it! This is the finale for the Summer of PlayStation 2! This episode's format is a little different from my usual ones. My first guests on the podcast are the first people I knew who got a PS2, my Aunt and uncle, and they have quite a story of how they got their PS2! Later I am joined by Nerdbomber and Techtic from the Online Warriors podcast to go a little further into the history of the console and it's legacy. This is definitely an episode you won't want to miss!
