I found this at the IGN boards. It looks like the PS2\'s price has dropped about 30% in Europe. (from 999 Guilders to 699, and GT3 Pack from 1099 to 799). This is about a $150 price drop. Don\'t expect the price to drop so much in America though, because the PS2 used to cost about $450 in Europe. Now they just dropped it down to a normal $300 price tag.
Here is a link to the news (http://www.dgnet.nl/sites/gsxnl/ShowContent.asp?ContentID=4748) (in Dutch), a link to the IGN post (http://boards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=11492736&replies=32), and a link to a Holland retailer (http://www.nedgame.nl/result2.asp?kop=PS%202%20Accessoires&systeem=36) that shows the new price of the PS2.
The American PS2 price drop shouldn\'t be too far away now.

Hello my dutch friend... :D
YES ! It´s true !
Maybe you know the Big German Electroshop SATURN ?
In its new prospect they sell the PS2 for 599,- DM and the GT3 Bundle for 669,- DM !!!
GO GET IT... if you don´t have it by now... :D

Us Americans have had the $300 price tag ever since the system was released. :D He he he. You guys are still getting everything last. :p (except for Wipout Fusion. Dang, I want that game! :))

A price drop is good news for everybody. With this new price in Europe I’m sure a lot of people will buy it and gave Sony an advantage over Microsoft and Nintendo.

Yes they do but this price drop will give Sony a 500,000 units advantage. At least:bounce:.
Hey Bossieman, why you haven\'t visit the latin thread in such long time?;)

Buying a PAL PS2 is like flushing money down the toilet, only scrubs/newbies who dosen\'t know any better would do that..
-Hardcore gamers buy NTSC-
-
...so you are a "Hardcore" Gamer ???
WOW, I´m impressed... ...NOT ! :p
BTW: We had this discussion way ago...
All I can say is: It´s nonsens to buy a Jap/US Console if you can get a PAL for less money and with warranty... just plug in the right Chip (Messiah soon) and you can play anything you want without having Powerproblems or Language difficulty and stuff...

GOODNEWS EVERYONE...
The price drop in the PAL PS2\'s is only the start of the strategy by Sony, remeber we have still to see the launch of both the Gamecube and Xbox in PAL\'s Vile so expect yet another price drop by then
Also i think it wont be long till we see the launch of a cut price series of games, around £20 for year old games me thinks too :D

Those are good news ooseven... BTW...don´t waste your time on Chucky ol´pal...
I´ve read through a couple of his posts and all he can do is to use bad language and spread his superficial knowledge...
So I´d say, just enjoy his "wise comments"... :laughing:

I love you THE EYE. I\'m so sorry for all my foolish rantings before, I just said those things because I\'m really insecure (and my boyfriend is mad at me). Can you find it in your big, masculin heart to forgive my newbie gibberish?
And I really should change my sig soon - as I\'m only allowed 5 lines. I\'m not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
