I saw the signs coming when I noticed new consoles were shooting up in price, but the news is still sobering nonetheless. If you want to grab a new console, better do so while you still can.

Area 51 is the best... Got it for £1.50 (around 2.50 dollars and 1.90 euros) :D

Sad. I was hoping the price of new ps2s would drop to 70 or 50 so I could pick up like 2 for the future. Right now the price is shooting up from the 100 dollar point it used to be at. Looks like 130 bucks is the current price for a new ps2 and its hard to even find many of those. There are a few listings on amazon for that. If any of you want to pick up a new ps2 now is the time to do it. The price is only going to shoot up for new ones as time goes on.

i was like for a little more you can get a wii or a gay box 360 or a ps3

Not suprised, they were already disappearing from most stores anyway.

Not too surprised, especially with the unveiling of the PS3's successor right around the corner. I felt a bit uneasy about the system lasting much longer after GameStop purged their PS2 merchandise. :cry: 12 and a half years is quite a long time, especially in the world of technology for something to last that long commercially. But hey, we still have online gaming :D

@Topic:
I guess it was time to say good bye. Nothing really worthwhile were made in the past two, three years.
