Its Official! the PS2 is now only $99!
As of April 1, "the most popular system in gaming industry history" will be available for purchase for $100. Announcing a price drop on April Fools' Day may make some consumers dubious, but the $30 price drop comes courtesy of an official Sony press release. Unless Sony has developed an obsessively detailed sense of humor, it's for real.
"Demand for PlayStation 2 remains strong throughout the world, and the new $99 price point will bring in new consumers who will discover how PlayStation platforms are an outstanding choice for their gaming and home entertainment needs," said Jack Tretton, Sony America CEO, in the announcement.
To celebrate, Amazon has a bunch of games on sale (up to 50% off).
