PS2 import price
Posted by @ 1:19 PM, EST
NCS revealed what they will charge for a Japanese PS2:
"NCS First Week Pricing: US$780 per unit" !!
They also say:
"Software prices are expected to range within the US$80 mark per title. As such, NCS recommends that customers not purchase the PS2 unit at the launch. Prices are high and discounts of US$200+ are very likely in the coming weeks after the PS2 debut."

Comment: Rezanine: Japanese TVs are NTSC, whereas European TVs are PAL. Since NTSC and PAL are incompatible, the Japanese PS2 won't work on European TVs.

Comment: if your an american importing the console there is one point and that point is .........no point!!!! because the only thing you'll be able to play are the japanese ps2 games them selves. DVD in japan is reigon 2 U.S is region 1. so the only people who might benifit from importing a ps2 are people in europe,the north of africa and south africa ( see region map:http://web.ukonline.co.uk/Members/s.roberts/regions.htm)
take my advice dont get one unless your a hard core gamer that doesent watch DVD's..........you may regret it.

Comment: Are they crazy?The first sales of a console are very important.People who wanted to buy PS2 when it gets relaesed are not going to buy it because of the price.They will wait until the price drops instead.Where will the 1milion or 500000 sales in two days end up?Only 100000 will buy PS2.

Comment: Bjorn and mm kissing, are you out of your mind!! A mediocre console! You're the idiot around here. That is the price for an import, you MORON!!! Imports are always REALLY expensive. It's only going to be $250-$300 when it is released over here. Besides, who cares whether or not YOU get one! You obviously are lacking in the mental department!
