    PS2 final price drop?

    $99 PS2s available April 1st.

    I haven't owned one in years, had one of the originals that crapped out on me, and just bought an XBox after that. Probably will pick one up soon, $99 for one and all the amazing titles that are still in circulation on the secondhand market is just too good to pass up!

    It's tempting to replace my old release-date PS2 but I don't think I have space in my entertainment center for two slimline ps2s due to the CD lid design (I have a .jp slimline).

    Yeah, I intend to get one of these since my oldschool PS2 is dying hardcore, kept choking on a brand new completely unmarred copy of God of War II

    This might be good, my original launch PS2 started to sound really loud, then one day ate my KH2 with what sounded like a circular saw. I opened it up and there was a huge gash from the edge to the center, almost all the way through.

    Ended up having my then roommate switch it out for a used PS2 and a used KH2 copy. The used PS2 though is on it's last legs as well.

    We need to be wary of possible April Fools sales and what not. Not saying this is one of 'em, but I'm sure they will pop up soon. That is assuming everyone survives the worm attack, etc.

    129.99 for just the slimline and 150 for the lego batman bundle, was the prior pricing.
