    World tour soccer 2 is one of my favourite PSP sports games. I wanted to play it online some day. But now I'll never get that chance.

    I think they should tank all of the old PS2 games which don't get more than 10 people on a day, I'm sure it will piss 7 or some people off but who cares?

    A lot of those are old, but still good. Some people will be dissapointed. At least they're not shutting down bigger games, like Guitar Heroes. Then they'd be in a lot of trouble.
    And I didn't even know PS2 could be used online...

    I never played a ps2 game online though, having to buy the extras to play online just didn't interest me. But if they were to be shut down i doubht they would have much activity.

    I feel sorry for whoever plays those games. I reckon game stores will cut down the price a little when it ends the online servers...

      I heard it might just be in Europe Dom. You might be safe considering your on the other side of the planet. D:
