But isn't the PS2 going to discontinue anyway?

^ Maybe make some of the new questions easier, like for 'Name the current moderators' change it to 'Name five of the current moderators'.

Hi everyone, the last time you heard from me, I talked about the huge milestone that PlayStation 2 achieved – reaching 50 million units sold in North America. Today I’m excited to talk about another milestone in PlayStation 2’s lifespan. For the first time ever, PlayStation 2 will be offered at a price point under $100 (that’s $99.99 MSRP, to be exact), starting April 1!

Why is this so significant? Well most importantly, this new price means that more people than ever will be able to join in on the fun that so many of you PlayStation 2 owners have been enjoying for years, which means new families will become part of the platform’s record-breaking install base. With this new price, we intend to introduce a new generation of consumers – some of whom weren’t even alive when the system was first introduced in 2000 – to the immense entertainment value offered by PlayStation 2.

In the gaming industry, the typical lifecycle for a console is around five years, but because we build each of our platforms for a large and diverse consumer base, we design our platforms differently. With the original PlayStation and now PlayStation 2, we’ve proven that consumers can rely on our platforms for their gaming and entertainment needs for at least a decade. This speaks to the technology and features that were packed into PlayStation 2 from the beginning, as well as to the ongoing support the platform enjoys from the publishing and retail communities and, well, all of you fans.

PlayStation 2’s unmatched gaming library will grow to nearly 1,900 titles from both our first-party studios and publishing partners this year, with a particular focus on the social and sports genres that are so popular with the emerging family demographic. This will include games such as MLB ’09, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Guitar Hero Metallica and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge…not to mention the 250 titles that have achieved “Greatest Hits” status. With all of that content, PlayStation 2 is a great option for families looking for ways to share their entertainment experiences together; they can rock out to Rock Band, test their trivia knowledge with Buzz!, or simply use the PlayStation 2 as their DVD or CD player.

So to everyone who’s enjoyed PlayStation 2 over the years, thanks for your continued support. And to those who will now be joining the PlayStation family, welcome!

The RP section is over-run with n00bs it seems, not like the good old days. Maybe we should organize a special RP section that would be invisible to anyone else but the member of a particular group ?


I should pitch the idea in the staff forum...TUC, DF agree ?

How should we do the trivia? Give out one answer at at time and then when someone gets it right, give them another question?

I'd say the only hurdle would be time zones.
Or maybe span the game over a few days.

It wouldn't be too bad if it was in "real-time." I know, let's have participants get mics and talk! j/k
We could use the IRC chat for a trivia game all day. Maybe have the IRC for Sonic trivia, and the forum itself could have a board for SB trivia. It would give reason to make people more active in the chat.

How about some easy freebies, give some variety; some easy, some medium, and some that require thinking?:

Who is the owner of the forum?
Name <certain number> current moderators.
Name the user who was formerly in the "SB Security" rank.
How many organizations are there? (alt. name a few of them>
