Remember way back in October of the year 2000, when Sony introduced the PlayStation 2 for $299.99? Yeah, that was a long time ago, but if you still don't have one, don't feel like getting a 360 or waiting any longer for the PlayStation 3 -- whenever the hell that'll be released -- or just want another PS2 for around the house, you'll be pleased to know Sony once again dropped the price on the PS2. Now the diminutive console will run you $130, down twenty bucks since the console's standing price since its last cut about two years ago. They're still not gonna beat out Nintendo's ever-cost effective $99 GameCube, but hey, when it comes to games, we know for a lot of people it just ain't about the price.
