Although it is some days old news, after 16 years of some of the first online play on a console, Sony has shut down the last official ps2 server. Final Fantasy XI being the last game to be run online for the ps2 console.
Ps2
(March 4, 2000 - March 31, 2016)
(Manufactured and Distributed 2000-2013)
This does not mark the complete end of ps2. Even before the end was considered, there have been methods of running aftermarket servers for some consoles, ps2 being one of them..
Isn't it kind of sad
and even more so to think the ps3 will end some day as well

You must login or register to view this content.
So the Japan version is apparently still up.
