I would get one and save it so when my current one dies I can still play my ps2 games.

i totally dont mind the price, i need a new ps2 due to the first controller port breaking.

but seeing as im from australia im sure the price would be over 99.

you know, the 99 dollar pricepoint is cool and all, but I’ve already got one PS2, and I got it “late” as is (late 2004). Its a fine system but, me being an utter and complete Nintendoholic, it tends to stay in the background for me.

I mean, even when the PS1 hit fifty dollars before it died, while I always thought it an absolutely hilarious price point, it didn’t really entice me gaming wise. Though in fareness the ONLY console I ever duplicated on was the original NES (I have a regular one and a top loader, my mom has one, my sister had one I think too).

Well, our original system died a year or two ago, and we bought a new one, which is still working fine.

It’s nice to know that it is out there for a decent price now, though – Especially since I’m heading to college this fall, and I really don’t think my brother would appreciate me taking ours with me.

Of course, I’d rather just track down a backwards compatible PS3…

I’m definitly one of those strange exceptions that still doesn’t own a PS2.
I do fully intend to get one if only for a few specific games (I’m dying to play Shadow of the Colossus) but the only way the $99 price is going to affect me is if that in turn causes used system prices to go down as well because I’m not really feeling the need to get a brand new one. My local non-gamestop store sells used PS2s for about 30 dollars. I tried to get one a few weeks ago but they didn’t have any left, so at this point it’s just a matter of getting my hands on one from that shop.
