Finished listening to the podcast. Good stuff.
I too think that the PS2 is the best console out there. My biggest beef with this generation is that in spite of its long length, it still feels incomplete, like the best has yet to come. I know towards the end of the PS2, there was so much great shit coming out for it that it was hard to keep up. That and I felt like we were guinea pigs like Move, horse armor, PS3 updates that removed features, and just the general impression that we were beta testers on our own dime.
I blame the Wii.
