read it for yourself.

[Kiwi]

Better than no drop at all I guess. What was the previous price anyway?

[Omega Blue]

179.99

[Kiwi]

That's not too bad. You could buy a game with that money.

[Fats]

I'm in lazy ass bastard mode, so what would that be in our currency? Do you think that there will be a price cut over here?

[Kiwi]

Well it's a good job I'm in "Drank Far Too Much Coffee For My Own Good" mode then! :)

$149.99 = £85.35

I think that the PS2 is dropping to the sub-£100 price over here soon, so it's not that bad I guess.

[Fats]

£85 for a PS2... God damn yanks... :x :x :x

As soon as it does drop over here I have to buy one, my PS2 has really had it. I was playing that Transformers demo and the lazer just went "clunk" and couldn't read the disk. I have to hit reset about 10 times to get the thing to work. :x

[Kiwi]

Heh, so you got your demo today as well then? Not bad is it? :)

My PS2 is on the way too. Hopefully the modded PS2's will drop in price with the drop of the regular PS2.

Well,they DID include the net work adapter in that.Without it,the price might as well be $129.So you both were still wrong. :wink:

[Omega Blue]

some people may not be able to use the network adapter, but nice spam. :wink:

[Fats]

Heh, so you got your demo today as well then? Not bad is it? :)

My PS2 is on the way too. Hopefully the modded PS2's will drop in price with the drop of the regular PS2.

It isn't actually bad at all, from what I got to play of it... I wanted to play as Optimus Prime. :x

[Kiwi]

Heh, yea, I was slightly pissed off with that.

[rev>thanu]

yeah and for a limited time you will get the ps2 with the network adaptor and some game there (forgot the name) all for 149.99 which is pretty good.

[Fats]

Something ATV... Not too sure. I'll take a wild guess and say ATV offroad fury. If I am correct I deserve a present! :P

[Kiwi]

You're probably right. That's the only game I can think of with ATV in it.

Here, have a cookie. Good luck getting it off him though.....

You can buy the PS2 (with the networking kit) at circuit city and get a free PS2 DVD remote (retails for 14.99):

Circuit City PS2 Network Bundel w/ DVD Remote (http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?BV_EngineID=ccckadclhiifjlhcfngcfkmdffh dffo.0&b=g&c=1&WT.mc_n=72&oid=89632&u=c&WT.mc_t=C& BV_SessionID=%40%40%40%400897589492.1084565051%40% 40%40%40&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&goTo=detail&c=1&b=g&u= c)

[ultimategamer2004]

Well in the UK the ps2 has dropped in the BigW too £99.99 which is amazing for a home console expect microsoft to follow them..

[Kiwi]

Bundle packs on the GAME (http://shop.game.net/default.aspx) site are still retailing at £159.99. Looks like they haven't quite got the message yet :)

[KlawHammer]

You guys have everything cheap - we have to pay $299 for a PS2 and $59.00 for a DVD remote.

[Kiwi]

All depends on what the currency conversion comes to though.

[KlawHammer]

True, we dont have the strongest currency on earth but everything here seems so cheap..

[Kiwi]

We don't have it particularly great over here. Our brilliant government has this habit of whacking tax and various other bits of crap onto prices in this country.

[ultimategamer2004]

thats the reson we have to pay so much but it isnt that bad new titles are now somtimes 32.99 over in the UK.

[Kiwi]

Only in Dixons though for some reason.

[ultimategamer2004]

WHsmith as well i have seen them at that price..

Shame dixsons are closing a load of there shops and one a cople of miles away from where i live has some games going cheap i might get some next week if they are still there.

[Kiwi]

Yea, the only ones they're going to keep open are the ones in retail parks. I'm surprised that GAME haven't picked up on these prices to be honest.

[ultimategamer2004]

Yep they should really be the ones who lower there prices first after all they are GAME...

[Makaveli_786]

Man this year gaming is going to be bad for PS2 owners, we have so many great titles coming out so close together itll be a damn nightmare trying to work out which one to play first.

[Kiwi]

Time to save some pennies I think.

[Makaveli_786]

Yeah unless youve got a modchip :P

[Kiwi]

Well you'll still have to save some anyway. Because they'll all be coming out around the same time in both regions.

[KlawHammer]

MMM, time for me to get a job and get off my arse and stop eating ice cream and cake all day while playing BF Vietnam....

[Kiwi]

Too right lazybones! :)

[Omega Blue]

MMM, time for me to get a job and get off my arse and stop eating ice cream and cake all day while playing BF Vietnam....
haha...i wish i could do that. :cry:

[ibrooklyn]

dude it comes with a network adapter and a free game...ATV Offroad or w/e

$149.95 is a nice price for all that =\

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea my friend you has a gc got the PS2 ATV2 and NA for 149 for his birthday and a online headset and SOCOM II...spoiled brat

[KlawHammer]

That network adaptor is quite cheap though - $79 NZ.

[Kiwi]

Getting it for a few £ cheaper than we do. Lucky devils! :)

[KlawHammer]

Lol, i know - this just adds further fuel to the fire of fact that you ppl in the UK get ripped off on a daily basis.

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea its quite funny to think of it. maybe you guys should have just bought a american PS2 and american games and what not and saved the $$$ or...pounds...however you get that symbol

[KlawHammer]

Lol, i think the Americans get it too sometimes - Japan has the cheapest-az prices you see.

[Chris Metal]

Near me in GAME they've got network adaptors going with Twisted Metal Black for £19.99... I think me is going to get one soon :wink: if not for the game but the adaptor for that price.

[Kiwi]

Well considering that each of those is normally £30, I'd get one as quickly as possible! :)

[KlawHammer]

We have the Network Adaptor for $79 with a free Belkin external ADSL modem - now thats a deal seeing that the modem itself is $120.

[Chris Metal]

I'm just hoping that they don't take the deal down before i get paid... :cry:

[slayerx]

They wont its on til end of the month i beleive, and its probably because theres like 2 online games out next month and more to follow the following months
