The PlayStation 2 celebrated its 15th birthday yesterday, so we here at Stevivor would like to pass on belated wishes to the best selling console of all time.
First launched in Japan on 4 March 2000, it eventually made its way to Australia on 30 November 2000, priced at a whopping $749. When adjusted for inflation over the last 15 years, the PS2 would cost $1,111.58 AUD if released in 2014.
