Whether you liked the price or not, Sony was bleeding red and no one was buying their system. They did everything they could to cut price because most consumers only care about price and their system started doing decent. Not PS2 levels, but decent. It just seems like a moot point at this point. I mean you want to talk about how inept the Wii internet and storage solutions are? You want to talk about how the Xbox was the most unreliable system ever created? Just seems to me like people have moved on. Those that really want to play PS2 games can either find a used PS3 that plays those games or pick up a PS2.

Sony is only going to release 10-20% of the PS2 library (at most) for sale via this method, so this is really only for classics. If you had an interest in experiencing the PS2 library this is really only going to get your feet wet.

Very interesting.

Anyone who reads that and is still complaining is trolling hard.
