News: The PS2 drops it's price, just like everyone expected it to.
After weeks of industry speculation,?Sony has officially dropped the price of the PlayStation 2 to $149. For a limited time this new price point?will also apply to the PS2 Combo Pack, which contains a PlayStation 2 system, the Network Adapter, and ATV Offroad Fury 2.
?The new $149 price point is part of our long-term vision for the PlayStation 2 platform.
