Just Jack Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 With the new version coming out, I would think that with Christmas coming the older models will start being put on clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 With the new version coming out, all things considered I dont see much reason to spring for a new, smaller, top loading PS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 What I meant was he might see the tray loading older version going on sale to make room for the new top loading version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 gotcha...but I don't think it's going to get much lower than the $150.00 you can pay now. I got mine for $150 with the internet adapter, controller and a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 If you can wait a couple of weeks more, on Black Friday some of the stores should have new ones on sale. Black Friday 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 What I meant was he might see the tray loading older version going on sale to make room for the new top loading version. 101318[/snapback] There probably aren't that many older models left. Sony was slowly taking the older models off the shelves leading up to the debut of the new slimmer version. For $149, the same price of the older version, you get an integrated Ethernet port for network gaming. So if you're into online gaming, it's worth it. Plus, it's barely bigger than a DVD box. You can read about it here. Slimmer PS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I lasted about a month with Madden and got bored with it. Ended up back on MVP Baseball. MVP is my choice for game of the year. I've been playing it since March. GTA:SA is a great game. A wonderful game. If you have time to play it. That's my trouble right now is that if I want to play PS2 right now I don't have a ton of time so I just throw MVP in for a half an hour and play. I need a couple hours if I'm gonna sit with GTA. Is it worth buying a new PS2 for??? I would say go rent a PS2 from Blockbuster and the game and check it out for yourself first. If you aren't drawn in then you are only out about $30.00 rather than $200.00. But, it's still dropping cash on an unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 funny you should ask, I bought my PS2 a while back when a friend introduced me to GTA Vice City. I loved Vice City, but I think San Andreas just blows it away. I think it's definitely worth it. Even if you are not satisfied, there are plenty of other games out there that you can try, Socom II, and NCAA 2005 are two that I recommend.
