Have a read guys...

PlayStation 2 will be available at retail for £199 this Friday Europe-wide. Bok. In layman\'s terms, that translates directly as, "We, the mighty Sony, win this Christmas in Europe and there\'s absolutely nothing you can do about it. Feel our huge sales, masses of cash, swelling libido and rather sharply defined pecs."
£199 is an undeniably fantastic price for a machine packing almost certainly the best software line-up this season coupled with a DVD player. Kids, take it from us: go and buy one for Christmas. PSone\'s buggered, Game Boy Advance just doesn\'t give you that next gen TV feel and N64… well, is N64, innit.

I agree totally...Sony has just spit in the face of microsoft, lets hope they get the message and get the hell out of this business, they are FOA...FAILURE ON ARRIVAL.

"The months leading up to December will be extremely important for PlayStation, and we have a lot of work to do. It should be fun... We have terrific product with our Atlantis and Harry Potter PSone console packs, the new DVD remote controller for PlayStation 2 and \'new concept\' PS2 games from SCEE studios. Airblade, WRC, WipeOut Fusion, and DropShip – United Peace Force. The line up gets even hotter with Time Crisis 2, Klonoa 2, and Moto GP2 from Namco, Jak and Daxter from Naughty Dog and independent publisher greats, such as James Bond, SSX Tricky, WWF, GTA3, Silent Hill 2, Devil May Cry, Spy Hunter, Herdy Gerdy, Burnout, 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, Tony Hawk\'s Pro Skater 3, Soul Reaver 2, Atari Splashdown, Simpson\'s Road Rage, etc, etc, etc. Also in early 2002, Ace Combat 4 and Vampire Night from Namco, Virtua Fighter 4, Rez, Headhunter, and some other great games from Sega, Monsters Inc from Disney, The Getaway and Primal from SCEE, and of course, FFX from Squaresoft.

HEAD EXPLODES

man sony has a great lineup !! :hat:

SWEET!!

Egmont is doing a price drop in sweden on Monday
From 4995kr (you can get one for 3600kr but 4995kr is still the price annonced by Sony) to about 3000kr.

Hmm... very very interesting.

what is this in US$?

US is already getting it cheaper than UK, so stop moaning $299 is like £199 over here, so we are only paying the rightful price as of Septmeber 28th :thepimp:

Ace Combat 4?!?!  Gimme gimme!!!

Woah that really is good value

Dvd player (not good according to people but it plays dvds.. :rolleyes: )

Psone (that costs like 200 aussie dollars or something..)

Ps2 (of course! thats what you play all those games on)

Cd Player (not that everyone doesn\'t have something that plays cds in their house, but it\'s still cool )
