I have had my PS2 since late 2001 and since then have built a library of games that I will continue to play thoughout the years. Because my PS3 is not backwards compatible with PS2 games, I would like to eventually buy a new PS2 so I can continue to play my old games when my current PS2 finally gives out. There is nothing wrong with it yet, but eventually it is sure to go out. I want to have a NEW system ready for that time.
The MSRP on a PS2 is still $130. I would imagine that will drop to $99 eventually, but of course no one knows. The Xbox never reached $99 and today cannot be bought from retail stores.
Will Playstation 2 systems continue to be available from retail stores in the future? Is there any speculation as to when a brand new PS2 can no longer be found? If I wait longer to buy one, will I be more likely to pick one up for $99 new or will I be more likely to see they have been discontinued an no longer available from retailers? I know they are cheap when used, but I want a new one.
