PlayStation 2 May Soon Fall to $99

[Marcus Yam]

History has shown that sales of game consoles take off exponentially as prices fall. In that line of thinking, the PlayStation 2 could become even more popular, if such a thing were possible.

It's about time, you can get Gamecubes and XBoxs for $30-40.

Maybe I'll buy one now, NOT. I don't even have enough money to buy my TRACKBALL that I want. Spoiled they are, kids.. yes... mmmmmm.

if it was like 40 bucks for a new PS2 they would see huge sales but not for 99

Awesome, been waiting for that last pricedrop. Now I can finally play all those games I got :3

 

[teh_boxzor]

geez i bought mine for 300 back in the day....

$100.00 is not bad. A lot of the comments about other older system being cheap fail to realize that this is for a NEW unit, not a refurb or used unit. If you want to used one, they can do for a lot less.

It wasn't $100 already? I think even that's too expensive. Should be $50. I would've bought one if it were cheaper since my PS2 died and PS3 gets screwed out of backwards compatibility.

Remember when consoles were only $100 when they were in their prime like the NES back in 1989? =]

1989, sitting behind the NES and SMB for the first time was one of the most glorious moments of my entire life. Tears well up when I recall those first few days of playing SMB....my god it was beautiful.

Good 'ol Sony.....How long hasve they been saying the PS2 is being phased out, but you wouldn't know still charging $100 or more for a new boxed unit. Blow it out the door for $50 and be done with it.

 

[megamanx00]

Meh. I think the real reason Sony keeps the PS2 around is because the PS3 isn't living up to expectations. The PS1 was suppose to stick around longer, but once the PS2 started bringing in the money that was pretty much it for the PSOne. I'm sure they would have stopped selling the PS2 by now to focus all their efforts on the PS3 if the PS3 was doing well enough for it to be worth it.

 

[jerreece]

Not sure why anyone would want to buy a brand new PS2 today. Even for $99.

What's the point?

 

[V3ctor]

Still have my Dreamcast 😀😀

 

[antilycus]

GO OUTSIDE. STOP veg'ing yourself and your children. DO SOMETHING USEFUL. They can play on the TV when its dark and cold outside...

 

[The Schnoz]

a.) It should have dropped to $100 a long time ago. b.) wrong Playstation to do a price drop on.

 

[rooket]

The last one I bought cost me $79 after rebate. I think the large ones I bought were $129.99 each. I own 3 ps2's but I only use one and it's pretty old. They last pretty well. My other two are still factory sealed.

Yes but those also arent being made, are used, and no more games are being produced for them.
