EB Games has been sold out of used PS2's for awhile, and my brother wants one to go with his non-BC PS3.
He can't really justify anymore than $60 on the console, and Toys'R'Us locally didn't have any shipped to them.

Try out craigslist there should be a few people selling the consoles there. If you already tried the BST thread on CAG maybe try the thread on red flags deals.

Did you look at Kijiji too? I often see PS2's going for around $50 there.

Was kinda hoping to try and snag a new one... kijiji and craigslist I buy most things from... but never consoles.

You consider EB games trade two deal, I'm not sure if is still running but if you trade two $8 tiv games you get a free refurbished orignal PS2 along with one or two used controllers.

Checking the OP's first sentence might be worth considering ;)
I'd say check out BB/FS, they may have some old stock floating around, and if they do, just keep an eye on their stock, and wait for another sale at TrU/WM/Zellers to pop up, and price match. If they stock starts to run low, I'd say buy it right there and hope a sale occurs within your 30-day return period.
Also, if another sale comes up in the next while, I'll check my local stores to see if they have stock; if they do, I could buy one and ship it to you along with the receipt. At my local TrU there were quite a few Slim PS2s (My gf managed to snag me the Limited Edition White PS2 w/ SingStar for $60!) What would a Vancouver postal code be? (So I can calculate shipping).
Edit: Using the postal code V5K 1B1, shipping for the PS2 Slim would be $14.95 for regular parcel, which includes delivery confirmation, apparently!

Not a bad shipping price considering... Hopefully, one goes on sale soon, heh.
I just kind of wanted to stay away from older revisions because A) They're bigger B) The fats did have a minor failure problem I never experienced... and C) Why would I do a trade in if I can get one new for like 80 bucks
