Yep. Heard about this last night. Not bad from $129. And the way it keeps selling, this price drop is very good.

I can see someone at Sony being like, "well, since people can't play their Ps2 and PsX games on the Ps3 anymore, lets just drop the price of the Ps2 and see what happens".

I'm most certainly buying one in June or July. The Indian price hasn't been announced yet, but I hope there will be some reduction.

Heh, this was the big announcement Sony had planned for today? People in some websites like vgchartz were spreading rumors of a huge announcement today but a price drop for an 8 (?) year old console isn't really that big.

It's still a console that sells well, tho. Especially compared to those of the same gen (Gamecube/Xbox)

I still want to get a PS2 some time.. good thing the price drop carried on over to Europe as well.

I still can't afford it right now, though. Oh well. Someday.

If I have some leftover after I get my 360 or PS3, I'll get me one.

I need a replacement anyways.

No excuse to not get a PS2 now if you don't have one already.

Hell of a lifespan for that system, though... gotta hand it to Sony.

That's what happens when you make hardware built to last at a price point people can actually afford.

I can definately say that the PS2 sells well here. We carry a lot of PS2 games, though not as much as the current generation systems, that's still better than it's generation. We have no Gamecube game and one Xbox game that no customers know exist(It's in the back and we are too lazy to find a place to put it)

Well, not the first set of Ps2s. Most of them had the eye going dead after a while...especially if you played DVDs on it. Happened to my 1st Ps2.

The PS2 is also the most owned system on The Backloggery, if that means anything.

I'll definitely grab a new PS2 at this nice price.

There's alotta great games for PS2, so for those who don't have one you owe it to yourself to get a PS2. And now that the games are dirt cheap getting one is a great investment. I still have and love my PS2, hell yeah... ^___^'

Oh the games on it now are ridiculously cheap if you do some bargain bin digging. I've picked up some very good ones for under 10. I grabbed Beyond Good and Evil (a most epic, yet wholly underrated, game) not too long ago for 8 bucks.
