Kinda shocked by this and haven't seen it posted anywhere, though the similar DS package makes it a little more believable. If I didn't have a Wii to save up for, I would definitely bite on this.

You get a free toy if you spend over $50, so it's a little somethin extra: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/759201/ref=amb_link_1154092_1/103-0089309-0206273
For me, shipping and tax would bring it up to $112.
Thanks to the CAG-O-Matic.

Wow! That's a sweet deal. Never played Jak II, but R&C:GC is my favorite of the series. Definitely a great deal!

Is this deal day at TRU? Man, I want a PS2, but only for guitar hero. I'll pass on this, seeing how I bought the DS bundle. Good deal.

How much does EB / GS give in credit / cash for a fat ps2?
This deal would be worth it if I could sell the two games on Ebay, and sell my fat ps2, and just upgrade to a slim.

This deal is incredible. Thanks for posting! Now I finally have a working PS2 again in time for the summer.

Thanks for the amazing deal OP. I've been looking for a way to replace my slowly dying fat PS2. Came out to about $117 after shipping and tax, plus I got a free cheapass keyboard with it!
You're my hero, botticus.

I'm really tempted, but my wife will kill me. I have the old model with network adapter and I'm sure I can recoup the money if I sell it.
However, to understand that it requires rational thought, and we all know how wifes are.

Thanks OP. Got one. Don't really need it, but at this price I couldn't resist (plus my little one gets a dancing Elmo).

I can't believe it but I just ordered one. I've never owned a PS2 until now. I chose the two day shipping so that there would be less time for it to get damaged by careless mail carriers - it was around $116 shipped. Didn't bother with the toy though.
Thank you Botticus.

I can't...I must not...I can't justify it...
I never had a problem with my fatboy PS2...why should I?

I never had a problem with my fatboy PS2...why should I?
I just fought this battle in my head since the last post... and since I'm probably moving out soon, I can't justify another $100 and go through the hassle of selling the old one + games and hope I break even.
Awesome deal, just horrible timing :p

Damn what a sweet deal, for those of us still without a PS2
Picked one up!!

Remember, the OP is not responsible for any relationships, engagements, or marriages that are ruined as a result of the deal in the OP.
I debated it for about a minute, but considering the fact that I have about 60 unplayed GC games and a nagging fiancee, there's no way I can justify getting or afford to get another system AND the games I want to play on it.
Maybe next year if I've unloaded a bunch of crap GC games and the Wii/DS/then-wife haven't bankrupted me.

This deal is sick. Makes you wonder though why this is so cheap and includes 2 games as well... I'm hoping for all those who picked one up that it's not a refurb unit and that it's as good of a deal as it seems. For the first timers to the PS2 world, definitely pick up Gran Turismo 4 with this order while it's in stock at $9.98 and Metal Gear Solid 3 for $5.29!

Damn! This stinks I just dropped $100+ on that DS last night to break up as gifts/sell the game. Also bought a laptop friday from Dell and got BF360 from Ebay........ Now this comes along, I've been wanting a PS2 and these deals just keep getting better and better! Hopefully this trend will continue and the prices keeps dropping. MUST SAY NO!!!!! Nice find though OP.

I passed this on to my old roommate who has been lusting after a video game console to call his own for a while now. Thanks OP.

I can't believe that this is still in stock! Hopefully they actually ship. Fat ass wallet must be hammering on this:
"Yeah, I'll buy five of these ebay the games and free toy and take the system back to walmart for $129 each and make like $100 on the deal".
Edit: My order status is now: "These orders are being prepared for shipment and cannot be changed."

OK I have just ended the debate...Instead of purchasing a brand new PS2 with two games that I already have to replace my fully functional fat ps2, and going through the hassle of trading in the old one, I just transferred the funds I would have spent into my Wii savings account. At this rate, I should now have enough saved up!
Logic prevails once again!

LOL yea just wait for the PS3 release and then buy a PS2 bundle for dirt cheap on Ebay as they start getting dumped. I guess that's what my plan is since I won't be buying 3 for along time.

That was my plan but I don't think Ebay bundles are going to match 2 free games plus the free toy (any they won't be NIB either). And who knows when the PS3 will be out.

You may want to throw this onto your order too....
Metal Gear Solid 3 with DVD $5.29 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006FHBCO/104-7474019-0076728?n=468642)
Only adds $1 onto shipping.
Ooops...just saw this was a thread...my bad.
Damn fine price. I'm almost considering grabbing one for my nephew as a gift. I wonder how much the local game store would give him for his old PS2? (Gettin' kinda bad at playing the non-DVD discs...)
turls

Don't forget to checkout the Overstock sale going on right new if this is your first PS2. Looks like you can snag a different Ratchet and Clank game for $12, among other things.

damn, i could buy this and sell my own PS2 on ebay, throw in a number of games off my trade list, some extra controller, and perhaps break even. if this is here after i get paid, sheeit.
hell, i'm ordering now. i'm confident in my ebaying prowess.

DAMMIT! I had one of these in my cart and was checking out when a coworker came by to show me the Half-Life 2 Episode 1 trailer, and it was OOS when he left! BAH!
Not that I should have been buying one in the first place, but what a bummer!

anyone know if this deal will be in-store?
there's a TRU right down the street, it'd be pretty convenient, haha
Better jump in now if you want the deal. It has been pastered all over SD and FW this morning.
I got a slim PS2 last Christmas and already have Jak II. So I'll pass :)
EDIT: Oops! Looks like it is OOS now. It was fast.

Picked one up this morning. Thanks OP! I fought with it originally like many of you, but decided to consulted my wife about it. She said it would be cool since my old one doesn't play DVDs, PS1, or PS2 blue disc games any longer.
Man my wife is rad!

I bought one I really don't need. I already have a fat PS2 in my living room & a slim PS2 in my bedroom. I just couldn't resist the good deal. :)
I'm open to trades/cash if anyone is interested in the system itself (I want to keep the games & free toy for my son).

Since when do deals get moved to the graveyard before people even get the items to verify we got what we ordered? Seems like there would be a lot more posts here if this was applied consistently.
