Walmart, Best Buy, Futureshop.

Sorry!

Couple of places I went to this year to go christmas shopping didn't have any PS2s. I went to one or two Toy's R US and EBs and PS2s were all sold out...

So I don't know if there will be any deals on the console.

Sony is pulling their usual BS by imposing artificial shortages on their products. The PS2 is in short supply mainly because Sony wants it to appear like it's a must buy because it's so hard to get, so they haven't restocked the retailers. It's a really stupid ploy. They want to incite a feeding frenzy on their product around Christmas because they are rare.

But then I prefer my PC over PS2 anyday.

That's fine.. Instead of wasting my time and looking for a PS2 as a gift, I got a gamecube instead. I think Sony's little stupid plan back fired on that occasion.

console system stuff NEVER go on sale on boxing day.... they know kids will have money... and are willing to spend it to buy the game they want.

You realize that videogamers are mostly 25 and up right? The idea that only kids play games is a myth...

I think is a great time to get a ps2 now. You can get greatest hits games, and the console is cheap. RTS and FPS are still meant to play on a PC though.

Iconshot PS2 @ EB Games - $179.99

Bought a PS2 slim @ EB Games - Hillcrest Mall for $179.99. Came with choice of NHL 2004 or some other game.

Things to watch out for aka f'n Sony scams:
- budget $30 for 8MB memory card as it is not included and it seems every game requires one (to save your preferences etc)
- budget $30 for an extra controller (if you wanna go head-to-head with someone at home)
- apparently if you mod this version (V12 or SCPH-700xx) it causes a problem with the laser?

Bleh, I'm fine with my Xbox anyway.... with the BIOS mod and hard drive upgrade, it's a DVD player, AVI/MP3/picture jukebox, and multiple-titles-on-
hard-drive system 'entertainment centre' all in one; if it recorded TV too (which some people are trying to make happen), I'd get rid of my DVD recorder

joeb: I fully agree with you on the RTS side, but since playing FPSes on the Xbox, I've actually been surprised at how well they handle on the system.

Future shop had the PS2 on sale boxing day two years back. $199 and you got the console, 2 games, and a memory card I believe.
