What do you know, it's someone's birthday today! That's right. In case you guys forgot, it's PlayStation 3's second birthday today. Yep, on exactly the same day two years ago, Sony launched their shiny, black next-gen console meant to revolutionize gaming platforms and gameplay.

Sony's baby sure has come a long way since then - what you got out of the box two years ago is not exactly what it is now. Accessories and applications have been added to fuel more of that multimedia experience, and they're promising a whole lot more.

Thanks to the millions of people around the world who took home a PS3 for themselves (some 17 million as of last count), Sony is all the more inspired to bring you only the best in gaming. And as PS3 enters its second birthday, Sony, through John Koller, promises a whole lot more to come your way.

He says:

We wouldn't be where we are today without your continued support and all of the feedback you've provided here on this blog. We don't have a crystal ball, but we know that you can look forward to many great games and PS3 enhancements over the next 12 months, starting with the upcoming launch of PlayStation Home's open beta, which will bring the PS3 community closer together. Then, just around the corner, you'll have Killzone 2, inFamous, and tons more. So please join me in wishing a happy second birthday to PS3!



We're still waiting for invites to the party. But regardless of whether we get one or not, Happy Birthday, PS3!

» lol, PS3 LAUNCH DATE

I would have been the first one in line at Best Buy but the security did not allow me to campout in the morning. I decided to go to Target and I was the 8th person but I was only guaranteed a 20gb. After a while I was like "no, I want a 60gb PS3" So I went back to Best Buy and people were camping out. I was like Freaking Son of a Beep! But yeah, I ended up getting in line and I was the 20th person (last) to get the 60gb. Sorry guys not that you care but… AHHh! Back in the days! LOL. And yes my 60gb still works like a charm, and the awesome part is that it is backwards compatible Baby Yeah! Congratulations for those people who bought the PS3 on launch date and I feel sorry for the people that caused riots and got their @sse$ kicked and not ended up getting a PS3. LOL LMAO! Remember that dude that hit himself in the pole while running to the store to get a PS3. LOL! OK that’s enough HAPPY B-DAY PS3! You ROCK!

Happy BDay!



One thing that still remains standing though is its security :)

You are an UBER DORK. Your PS3 and any other consoles you may own will be very proud of your achievement. You come in a short second place to the kid who passed out from geeking out to much on World of Warcraft.



Oh ya buying your console B-day presents is as weird as putting your dog in an outfit. DON'T DO IT
