I am one of those sad souls who never purchased a PS2. I have a GC and an Xbox, but no PS2. The thing is Guitar Hero is REALLY calling to me. I want the game and would have no problem paying the money for the game, but buying a PS2 for $129 now after the system has been out for almost 7 years and the PS3 is already out seems like a gyp. What is the cheapest way to get a system? I know people will say Ebay, but I looked on there and the systems that actually work go for as much or more than buying a used one from EBgames. Are there any other alternatives?

$129 is a gip now?

You sicken me, and I'm a cheap ass gamer.

Check your local newspaper.

$129 is a gyp? Looks at system library...

You sir are daft!

Anyone know where to get a Jp PS2 for that price??

I am sorry, but the PSOne was $80 at this point. I was hoping to get a PS2 for this price, but since it is selling so well it obviously is tougher. If I really needed a PS2 for other things I would have bought it long ago.

For real, it's well worth the 129 for a new slimline.

I'm in agreement with the OP. I mean there are a number of PS2 titles that I'd like to play but I think I'll just wait till the PS3 becomes more available and put that $129 to the total cost of the system rather than having to buy both later on.

$130 for the best system ever seems like a steal to me.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

$130 is nothing.

I just bought 3 of them as cheap Christmas presents.

 

[DarienA]

Yeah that $50 price difference is like one less game you could buy when you get the system!

But it's like 2-3 GH's titles!

:rolleyes
