As of 4:21pm on this day, October 8, 2002, I own a PS2 console ^^

And yes, I gave it a big hug after I took it out of the box.

Then I cut myself closing the box up.

I'll try it out later tonight when I get back from work - my current game library consists of Gitaroo Man (though loaned out), Kingdom Hearts and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. (Hey, Gauntlet was only $15!)

Also picked up Arjuna DVD1 - this'll be enjoyed on the HDTV set tomorrow ^^
