Sony Announces New PS2 Bundle

[Buizel91]

Nice to see an old generation console is doing well...

May have to buy a new 1...

 

[Buizel91]

I have a collection of over 100 PS2 titles and they are all classics, no duds! name another console that can claim this!

PS1? ^_^

Nintendo 64?

Quite a few consoles have loads of games

I think even the 360, Wii, and PS3 could pull it off...seen as though they will be out for at least another 4 years

Just imagine if this package wasn't necessary, if the PS3 was backwards compatible... after all, Sony definitely wouldn't be so evil as to cannibalize such a feature in order to sell more PS2s, never.

Bah, I'm just a dreamer.

ONE HUNDRED top titles, no!

maybe 50, even maybe 75 for PS1 but to get to 100 TOP titles is harder than you'd think

They could probably ship more PS3s if they had backwards compatibility.... Or if they released all they rereleased all those awesome PS2 games onto the PS3...

I'm looking at you Okage Shadow King!

I fully support the releasing of older consoles. I wish Nintendo would do it with their older consoles; my N64 is old, and I missed the opportunities to check out the NES and SNES classics due to being either too young or not born at the time.

Still, I think it's cool they're releasing the PS2 again for a while. I might pick it up since I have an aging PS2 myself.

Or, you know, Sony could have kept the backwards-compatibility the PS3 had originally...

i dont get why they still make games for ps2, explain plz?

 

[dalek sec]

Sounds like a good deal, but could they of picked a better game then Toy Story 3? I loved the movie but even Pixar tie in games are terrible.

I think that's my only compliant about this bundle? Out of all the great PS2 games out there and this is the one you picked for the bundle?

because some of us are still to broke to go next gen on ps3. Yes we exist, and yes we don't have jobs, yes most of us are looking we aren't dead beats.

Personally i just want an original ps3 with backwards compatibility. But alas no job and no poun....i mean no dollars after the move and it seems my school won't give me financial aid or loans so dead end there as well.

 

[twaddle]

they should drop the price lower because of the toy story game.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

this is about all i can come up with for that

I'm happy to see Sony is still supporting the PS2. They were still making PS2 versions of games long after the PS3 came out which I was very grateful for. The PS2 ports of PSP games were great for someone who doesn't own a hand-held console.

However, I don't quite understand this move... you can buy a cheap PS2 slim just about anywhere for much cheaper than this price. I guess it's one way of getting some more consoles out there but why now, after all this time?

Still, Kudos to Sony for supporting their brand so fully. Microsoft couldn't wait to drop the original Xbox the very moment the 360 came out. And let's not even mention their support towards the old, and much cherished Xbox original games... Backwards compatibility? What's that?

 

[midpipps]

For all you people wondering who would buy a ps2 at a brand new price. I will raise my hand high because I just did. My launch ps2 finally died last month no amount of fiddling with laser would bring her back and the drive motor sounded like it was going to blow up soon. I would much rather buy a new one then a refurbished POS from gamestop. If I spend the few extra bucks then I know it will last for years to come.

Also I own a launch ps3 with backwards compatibility but sometimes the wife is using the ps3 and I want to play a ps2 game or i am playing ps3 and the wife wants to play ps2. I applaud sony for continuing to support the ps2. Especially as long as they do not have backwards compatibility in the ps3 I hope there are ps2's on the shelf.

I guess but from a buissness point of view I would have though they would stop.

It's tempting to write off the PS2 as a hopelessly-outdated system, but I have a number of friends who still get a lot of fun out of the console, especially when they're using it for party games or playing some of the more iconic titles like God of War and the Jak & Daxter series. For $99, the bundle is certainly a solid deal.

What about Ratchet and Clank? Best PS2 game series.

I still have a PS2 plugged into my tv. FFX, FFXII, Jak 2&3 + R&C are all still on the rotation.

Gotta love R&C

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Not a bad deal I guess. The PS2 is still suprisingly quite popular. I still buy games for it.

 

[Blizzarded Soul]

Good. I need a new PS2 after my old one got cookie crumbles in the drive somehow.

Might want to get that checked out for invading Cookie Monsters. They can be a real ***** to get rid of.

Apparently this particular game was quite good.

 

[linwolf]

I would buy a new PS2 if the one I have now stops working, so only good that I have the option.
