Today is the 20th anniversary of the Sony PlayStation!
One of the greatest systems and video game brands of all-time. PlayStation 1 and 2 have two of the largest and most varied game libraries of all time. And now the PS3 and PS4 are the powerhouses of their respective generations.
BTW, PlayStation Network is having a HUGE sale today in celebration, check it out.
The Sega Dreamcast was also launched today.
9.9.99 was the date.
I have a personal connection to the system because it was the first console I bought at launch with my own money from a high-school job. Got it for RE: Code Veronica, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Shenmue (though I ended up hating Shenmue).
