PS2 Price Drop Official
After many rumours and the obligatory stern denials, Sony has officially announced an immediate US price drop for the PlayStation2 - from $299 to $199. This is a heavily strategic move - coming just before E3 and also pre-empting a similar reduction expected for the XBox…
Amid rumors of a pending Microsoft price reduction for the Xbox — and after a week of internal discussion and debate, following Microsoft’s price reduction in Europe — SCEA announced a sweeping set of price drops including a price reduction of the PS2 as well as the 8MB PS2 memory card and PS2 Dual Shock controller. The official memory card will retail for $24.99 (down $10 from $34.99), while the Dual Shock from $34.99 to $24.99.
If you’re in the market for a PS2, or PS2 peripherals, it might be worth waiting a few weeks to see if/when this drop flows through to Australia.
