Retro: KONAMI TECH GEAR PS2 Station Rack!

 I just received from the mail was the Konami TECH GEAR PS2 Station Rack (RU027). This accessory was released in 2000 and serves as a vertical stand, one DualShock 2 controller holder, a DVD case holder and 3 plug electric outlet.

Fortunately, the accessory still works! However, it only accepts AC100V. You can still use it by using a transformer. When I installed it to the console, the plastic of the rack was stiff, I had a difficult time in retracting the rack base to the console. The only down side of this rack it doesn't have cable management for the DualShock controller. You have to curl the long cable of the controller.

You can find a few of this at the second hand online shops in Japan but don't expect that is complete, like the one I got. This retro accessory serves as a reminder how booming the PlayStation 2 back then with lots of games and accessories from different third party makers and game publishers.   

Uniqlo x PlayStation UT shirt Collab!

A few days ago, Uniqlo just released UT graphic shirt in collaboration with PlayStation! As far as I could remember, this is the first time that PlayStation made a collaboration with Uniqlo. 

I went to Uniqlo in SM Megamall to check the shirts and buy one, Unfortunately, medium size was sold out!! I guess I'll visit the Uniqlo Glorietta 5 soon before the stocks runs out or they would restock. By the way, the UT shirt costs 790PhP.

I look forward that Uniqlo would continue their collaboration with PlayStation. As we all know, Uniqlo had a frequent collab with Nintendo.
