$100 and we have a deal, what do you say?

Found one! Thanks, OP!

I'd have to drive 3 hours before I could get to a store that has had new PS2s in stock.. it must be different out in California, or New York.

The new PS2s, which are converted to used consoles, qualify for the current B2G1 promotion. According to the GS employee, a console can't be the free item.

Thanks so much for the post, OP! I was able to find a store that actually had some in-stock. This was after driving to 4 other GS in my area.

Good luck everyone!

I saw 3 of them still in box on the floor yesterday with the a card on top showing a $49.99 price slashed to $39.99. I should of looked deeper but was in hurry and just assumed they were used even though the box's looked be in mint condition. It was the silver slim model. I probably go back now and get 1 if it is indeed new.

My buddy and I each grabbed one from one of the stores on Transit ave in buffalo NY. They also had a new in box psp go marked $99. All three consoles were stacked on the counter between the two pos systems. I thought real hard about the go, but ended up passing on it. Up above the shelves where they keep the new games was a final fantasy Xbox 360 for $230. I fought the urge on that too. If the system had any kind of special graphics I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. But since it's basically just a game packed in the box, I passed.

im going to try and get one today and while im there going to finally preorder xenoblade

Thanks for the confidence. In my mind, the tone was supposed to be evoke the reader to ask, "How MUCH of a tip will I get?" not, "Will I get a tip at all."

I'm thinking about buying one since my dad is going to give me his collection since he can't play on his PS3. Decisions decisions.

FYI: Best Buy may also be clearing out the slim PS2's as well now. Unfortunately they were still marked MSRP when I was in there just before Black Friday and now they're all gone.

The've already marked down the peripherals to clearance pricing(memory cards for $5-10, etc).

is this ymmv? because i called in a gamestop store and they said their new ones are still priced as $99.

In my area, it seemed as though most of the employees knew about the conversion of the new PS2 slims to used. This deal seems to be nationwide since CAGs in different states have reported buying new ones for $39.99. You should probably just drive to that GS and have them price check it for you.

doesn't that kinda negate the savings if your driving 3 hours?!

He was saying he'd have to do that if he wanted one, he wasn't saying he did.

Thanks. Ok i'll probably go there to check it out!

Confirmed in Brea, CA

Damn, wish I had known I could have done two used PS2s + a free $40 game. Oh well, I'm just happy to find one of them.

Oh duh. Misread that, my bad

Gamestop in Stillwater, OK has none.

I'm saddened. Would have bought one without thought. I don't think my 60GB Ps3 will last much longer, again. it's on it's second life right now at a cost of $150.

can someone tell me the point of gamestop selling something thats new used? Its like the total opposite of what they usually do - selling used games as new lol
