Is the Silver PS2 becoming Hard to Find or Rare?

[dman1869]

I was just curious because I got a new Silver PS2 for Christmas and I haven't opened it, but going to sell it probably under $120. Is that a mistake or will they maintain their value? And there's no use in lying because it probably won't end up on CAG since I put it my local paper and Craigslist. Thanks for any help in advance.

Here in the UK they are still readily available everywhere and are normally less than 10% more expensive than the black ones - the situation is probably different across the pond.

I saw new ones in the store yesterday.

They were supposed to be limited at first, but they changed their mind and are pretty much everywhere now. We keep getting restocked on them at the Gamestop I work at.

Doesn't look like it's much of a limited edition anymore....I got suckered myself into buying one with that claim....ing SONY.....lying SOB's

Mmm, it's kind of weird that they're in stock at some places but they seem to go above retail on ebay.

they were limited at christmas. but sony decided to produce another batch of them and they are everywhere again now.

I just went to my Walmart and they had about 10 Silver PS2's. They cant be that rare as I see them at all sorts of places these days. The question is when Wii's will be in stock and stay in stock.

Nah dude everyone is lying buy like 20000 of them if you can to ebay those sucks and live like a KING!

 

[sblymnlcrymnl]

They're everywhere. Actually I see more of them than the standard black, these days.

and yet, the PS2 continues to be one of the top selling hardwares month after month.

PS2 is a great system, anyone think there will be a final hardware revision before it dies? It would be cool to see a PS3 style disc loading model.

No way. Sony should focus their efforts on PS3, not the PS2. They're STILL selling hardware like mad, so there's no real point to revise it again. Lets face it, God of War II is the equivalent to a PS2 eulogy.

Disc loading mechanisms are more expensive than fliptop lids, so I doubt thats anything were going to see on a future PS2 model. I doubt there will be any further revisions to the PS2, as its pretty cheap and streamlined already. What would they do, make it smaller?

i saw a huge stack of them at my local frys not too long ago

 

[imascrub]

me too i consistently see them at fry's right next to the black ones
