PS2, when will the price drop?
Posted by @ 12:13 AM, EST
Daily Radar posted an article on the price about ps2.

Here's a slice:
"So you're not an early adopter. Like many gamers, you might not feel comfortable investing a huge chunk of change to be the first one on your block to have the latest and greatest technology. So how long will you have to wait until the PlayStation2 is at a price that you can afford? Well, no one (not even Sony) knows. ."

Comment: Ollie,if you read my post,you would of known i wasn't asking if it was any good,i was being sarcastic towards it because M.J. was stating Dreamcast was internet ready and to be ready it had to do all i asked,that's why i refered to it as half baked afterwards.

They graduated from the announce and delay school, same school microsoft did :)
Yeah, it maybe cheaper, but its beacuse its much later then the ps2, the ps2 should be around the same price of the dolphin by the time nintendo releases it.

Comment: well M.J.,if you read the article,you would of seen from what to what. DC is internet ready eh? not clear of what you mean here,are you saying DC pays for your internet connection,can the browser download files and can you play multiplayer games? PS2 is fully dvd ready,this is better than some half-baked internet capability! it's $370 in Japan,no price for U.S.,but it won't be no more than $300 and with what PS2 offers,that matches the DC's $200 price...

Comment: The price will reduce from what to what? Launch price is $300-370? DC is $200 and internet ready? You make the call....
