PS2 Ad

An ad from Sony in the latest issue of TOKYO WALKER (a bi-weekly city guide) advertising the big PS2 releases this holiday season. Pictured (clockwise from bottom left) are RACHET & CLANK 3, DRAGON QUEST VIII, GRAN TURISMO 4, METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER, TALES OF REBIRTH, and KESSEN III. It’s interesting to note that the release date indicated for GT4 is December 3, but just last week Sony announced that it was yet again pushing it back some more. Makes me wonder what last-minute problem is causing this new delay.

Jean, if you have the ability, it might be nice to translate some text from an entry like this, so your faithful get a better idea of the thing. Just an idea…

Yeah, good idea. The main title basically says: “Are you ready? (literally: “Prepared, OK?”)

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00.
