Title: PS2 Price Drop?
Post by: Maniac on June 02, 2001, 05:54:29 AM: I still havn\'t went and got my PS2 yet. I\'ve seen it in stores now but I\'ve been waiting for a price drop.
Anyone know if one is scheduled or anything like that?
I really hope its around the time that Mgs2 and Gt3 come out.
Thanks,
Maniac

On an unrelated note, according to IGN the price in Japan has dropped, but not by much. About the equivalent of eight bucks, American.

JESUS H CHRIST!!!! :eek:

That is sick. I would never be a gamer in New Zealand. I would be that guy that hangs outside the store and clubs people upside the head and takes THEIR consoles.

BTW, How much are games?

You do realize he\'s not talking about US$, right? But it\'s still quite a bit.
