View Full Version : will the ps2 price drop after the ps3 is released? bchambers05 03-13-2006, 05:58 PM anyone have any guesses? curlfro 03-13-2006, 05:59 PM umm, yeah. go to your local game store, and check how much a playstation is. i could get one for about 50 bucks. bchambers05 03-13-2006, 06:01 PM dang ur lucky. i live in a smaller town of 8000 so our local game store is well....wal mart lol. they are still 150 there for a brand new one. im wanting to only spend 100 tops for brand new but i might be waiting a while. reticulator 03-13-2006, 06:25 PM Just get a used one for a bit cheaper if you really want one. The used ones are as good as the new ones. Philament 04-01-2006, 03:22 PM Chances are the price won't drop not for awhile anyway. I read somewhere that Playstation 2's are selling pretty well still. Justinian 04-02-2006, 07:16 AM yea i dont think they'll drop there still makn ps2's althoguh they stopped producing ps1's RawEnergy 05-01-2006, 12:18 PM I say the price will drop. I hope they'll still make games for the ps2 Justinian 05-01-2006, 07:52 PM the ps2 price has already dropped that would be a pretty quick drop like only 5 mothns after this drop oh and yea they are gona continue makin games Monkeybones 05-03-2006, 05:06 PM jic u didn't hear they dropped 30 bucks Justinian 05-04-2006, 11:59 AM yea i heard oh andmoekeyboneslol i jsutnoticed i like allthe things u have in ur sig slingshot317 07-13-2006, 12:32 PM eventually itll get lower in proce but get tihs....the xbox is $150!! thats already HALF as much when i bought it...i guess that means ps2 is still pretty hot Tsura 07-13-2006, 08:09 PM well lets see they already dropped the price recently so another drop isnt on the horizen yet. but if you can id look in to buying an old ps2. i hear the flat ones over heat if you play them to long. but other than that you can get the big ones cheaper. UltimateGamer 07-13-2006, 08:40 PM absolutely they'll drop but no one knows when so i would get rid of the PS2 if ur planning on buying a PS3 but otherwise i would hang on to them if u plan on purchasin the PS3 later on but the price may be to low so remember u can play PS2 games on the PS3 system so after the purchase theres no need for the PS2 SuperSaiyanSonic 07-14-2006, 06:27 AM I don't plan on BUYING a PS3 anytime soon, but I know there will be contests out there so I plan on WINNING a PS3. slingshot317 07-14-2006, 09:42 AM hahah amen to that sonic with a price tag of like $600 bucks...the average joe will definately havta consider that....haha yeah but im sure there will be all kinds of contests to win one but i heard that sony knows they will be short of ps3s and so consumer demand will be HIGH (great marketing strategy whether they meant to or not) Tsura 07-14-2006, 01:46 PM i stopped by toys r us today to check out if the rumor that they were reserving wii's, when i stumpled on an xbox. the price 180 buck american. i cant believe microsft hasnt dropped the price yet. UltimateGamer 07-14-2006, 03:11 PM well if there selling the systems at that price why not theres no point of shooting ur self in the shoe they do this because its common sense and a profit maker slingshot317 07-14-2006, 09:46 PM actually i heard that xboxs arent selling THAT well...well, well enough to keep the price THAT high....but if ur sure they are then eh uv definately got a point...why sell something for 2 dollars when u can for 5? SuperSaiyanSonic 07-15-2006, 04:53 AM If you can afford a $200 Xbox, then you might as well buy a 360 for $100 more. Tsura 07-15-2006, 09:06 AM yea but they are going to lose money on a system no matter when they sell it, game companys make all thier money in games, so if a system is sitting on the shelf they are losing potencial money. no one wants to pay nearly 200 dollars for a five year old system. then again it might just be Toys R Us selling it at that price. slingshot317 07-15-2006, 09:35 AM chances are toys r us is selling at the same price as its competitors....when it comes to video games and general electronics, most comapnies are pretty consistent with pricing...but going back to sonic....hahha "only $100 more"....eh some of us arent lucky enough to own their own money tree or at least be lucky enough to find a $100 bill lying around lol... SuperSaiyanSonic 07-15-2006, 06:28 PM Toys r us to me isn't good when it comes to game prices. slingshot317 07-15-2006, 08:17 PM hahah toys r us is a kids store anyhow...lol iv been more of a best buy/media play /shady street vendor kinda guy....plus the whole giraffe thing scares me cuz once i went to my girlfriend's house and played a little trick on her...that dirty *#^$! took it the wrong way and hit me over the back of the head with a HUGE stuffed giraffe...lol knocked me unconcious Tsura 07-15-2006, 10:31 PM just curious what trick were you going to play on her and how did you get knocked out with a stuffed animal. slingshot317 07-16-2006, 09:35 AM lol wat happened was she was home alone and me and one of my friends got into her house through a window....my friend went to the fuse box and turned off all the lights...i had this monkey costume and crept into her room...i figured id scare the **** outa her...turned out that wily ***** was waiting for me by the bathroom and knocked my ass out (well sorta)....lol...so then it was like scooby doo and she unmasked me and kicked me where the sun dont shine...hahah...i deserved it lol slingshot317 07-16-2006, 09:35 AM hahha sweet it automatically sensors what i say lol nice UltimateGamer 07-16-2006, 12:37 PM yea but they are going to lose money on a system no matter when they sell it, game companys make all thier money in games, so if a system is sitting on the shelf they are losing potencial money. no one wants to pay nearly 200 dollars for a five year old system. then again it might just be Toys R Us selling it at that price. Yeah whats up with the Toys R us industry when are they going to be on track with all the others? Haha sling ur a funny guy i dont think iwould ever do that to my girlfriend i wouldnt have to guts to haha u crack me up slingshot317 07-16-2006, 12:40 PM Yeah whats up with the Toys R us industry when are they going to be on track with all the others? well like i said before...no serious teenager goes there so i guess they dont focus TOO too much on the electronics/video game department...so that leaves the legos and barbies and what not to be in competition with other stores...but i actually wanan research whether or not their prices are higher than other stores Tsura 07-16-2006, 03:18 PM excuse me im a serious teenager and i stopped in there, of course thats because it was the only place you could put a reserve down right now. UltimateGamer 07-16-2006, 04:50 PM oo really Tsura u already got a reserve for which system i dont know if anystores right now are taking reserves in michigan ??? who knows but .... hey im there number one buyer on legos ;) ;) hehe j/p slingshot317 07-16-2006, 07:31 PM really? eh well my toys r us is forever away (a good 15 min drive) and my lazy ass has problems getting to the kitchen so iv always gone to the closer best buy or circuit city or some place like that Tsura 07-16-2006, 08:30 PM yea the website said preorders now and get a free game. but they said no. so i got nothing. i might run up there again withthe page printed out. hey if im first on the list im in a good position. well actually the best. slingshot317 07-16-2006, 08:33 PM dude its the giraffe thats duping u...that damn silly animal is messing with ur head...sooner or latter ur gonna be bamboozled in the head and hes gonna ram his hooves into ur balls...sry dude i hate toys r us just cuz customer service blows there and that damn smiling son of a ***** of a giraffe... Tsura 07-16-2006, 09:18 PM hey that giraffe shares my name so if you hate him you hate me SuperSaiyanSonic 07-17-2006, 10:16 AM What's the giraffe's name again? slingshot317 07-17-2006, 10:58 AM GUYS GUYS GUYS....we arent starting a jihad against the giraffe's NAME...(its jeffrey isnt it?)...we're waging this holy war on that 4 legged piece of ****....boys as shakespeare would eloquently put..."whats in a name? a rose by any other would smell just as sweet" Tsura 07-17-2006, 08:41 PM yea its teh english spelling of jeff - geoffrey. my names jeff but call me tsura anyway. slingshot317 07-17-2006, 08:44 PM hahh tsura sounds more hardass anywho but howdy anyways jeffy boy lol UltimateGamer 07-18-2006, 11:55 AM yeah hello jeff but why are we talkin about jeffrey the giraffe any ways lol i thought we were talkin about price droppin lol we get off the subject easily but who cares i dont thats for sure just thought i would point it out .... im sure u already realized that though Tsura 07-18-2006, 01:28 PM yea but we kind of settled all these threads original topics. now weve strayed and are just chatting. id say something earlier but i really dont care anymore. UltimateGamer 07-18-2006, 06:16 PM haha yeah back to the topic the PS2's price will drop but it will take a matter of time to do so .... so yes obviously the PS2 will drop but who knows when so by the question if the PS2 will drop after the PS3s release yes it will could be a month or so after but itll drop slingshot317 07-18-2006, 07:06 PM haha yeah back to the topic the PS2's price will drop but it will take a matter of time to do so .... so yes obviously the PS2 will drop but who knows when so by the question if the PS2 will drop after the PS3s release yes it will could be a month or so after but itll drop lol wow...it ONLY took 4 pages for someone to finally make that statement hahhaha...i love how everyone is posting just for the hell of it to hit the sweet 360 mark hahha nice Tsura 07-18-2006, 08:05 PM nah i think we answered it a long time ago like page one, but we just kept going. and im not really posting alot to get up to 350 posts cause i figured that in 3 months i could get 350 posts. ive been posting because the conversations acctually got interesting. but look im at 325 already. UltimateGamer 07-19-2006, 10:05 AM haha yeah it did get interesting like all the others ive been postin in lol Tsura hey now ur at 337 man i know i was afraid that i wasnt going to get the mark and look im already there what was there to worry about i still have what 4 months or so lol ive been postin like crazy and for no reason well i didnt have to post that much in like a week or two lol slingshot317 07-19-2006, 11:00 AM haha yeah it did get interesting like all the others ive been postin in lol Tsura hey now ur at 337 man i know i was afraid that i wasnt going to get the mark and look im already there what was there to worry about i still have what 4 months or so lol ive been postin like crazy and for no reason well i didnt have to post that much in like a week or two lol hhaah sometimes its kinda fun to post instead of being a hassle as it is at times...do yall remember when the ps1 price dropped after the ps2 came out? or maybe the 64 after the cube? UltimateGamer 07-19-2006, 05:36 PM haha whats funny about that i think that the N64 was going for more than the gamecube heheh ;) Tsura 07-19-2006, 08:11 PM hmm but im still fairly certain they wony drop the ps2 price. theres still money to me made once the ps3 hits. there are gonna be people who dont want to spend 600 dollars and are gonna get a new ps2 (me for instance) slingshot317 07-20-2006, 11:38 AM hmm but im still fairly certain they wony drop the ps2 price. theres still money to me made once the ps3 hits. there are gonna be people who dont want to spend 600 dollars and are gonna get a new ps2 (me for instance) anyone knows how trade-ins work? or does it depend on the store? cuz im thinking about trading in my xbox and my games and my 5 controllers to get a 360....any idea how much that might cost me after all that? Tsura 07-20-2006, 12:55 PM you really lose alot of value. you might get 50 dollars for the xbox and maybe like 5 for the popular games and even less for the decent ones. i dont think ive ever traded any games or systems in my life. slingshot317 07-20-2006, 08:01 PM you really lose alot of value. you might get 50 dollars for the xbox and maybe like 5 for the popular games and even less for the decent ones. i dont think ive ever traded any games or systems in my life. so wat would u suggest i do with all my "old" stuff...im thinking about just donating it or something if im not gonna net SOME sorta value (some guy who works with me at a restaurant wants to get his daughter a playstation and i volunteered just to give him mine haha) Tsura 07-20-2006, 08:31 PM well if you dont mind losing some money, you could donate it to good will. give some other kid a happy holiday. slingshot317 07-20-2006, 08:40 PM well if you dont mind losing some money, you could donate it to good will. give some other kid a happy holiday. hahah i dont really care for money...i buy my friends all kinds gifts and presents and ask for nothing in return...hahah i guess i WILL give my box away thanx buddy for the suggestion! |
