I was screaming for a PS2 pricedrop for years! and Sony never heard my cries. If this were 2006 or maybe even early 2007 I wouldve been excited for the change but this is too little too late. Not many care about the PS2 like they did a few years back. Almost everyone is salivating to get their hands on an Xbox360, PS3 even a Wii. I doubt there will be a rush to the stores for the Ps2 because of its new price because really that just means the used or refurbished systems will drop to about $40 bucks and people will buy those instead or until they can get a PS3 or others I mentioned. Im currently an owner of a PS2 that Ive had for about 4 years because I switched to the slim PS2 eons ago otherwise Id be a proud owner for 7 years. Too little too late Sony! Make the PS3 a more reasonable price and make it smaller if you can. Until then I have Black to play and Call of Duty 3 to finish and MLB Power Pros 2008 is a fun game so Im good for now.
