And September 9th, 1999 was the day Wipeout 3 was released in the U.S.
uh... I think.
Oddly enough, that was also the day the Dreamcast was released in the U.S.
I got both of them in March, 2000, just shortly after I bought my PSX, and got into videogames, which is why I was aware of the dates. [Late bloomer, yes, I know.]
