Sony Computer Entertainment America Lowers the Price of
PlayStation(R)2

Computer Entertainment System to $129.99

FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 20 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. today announced that it has made its PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system more affordable than ever throughout North America.

Effective immediately, consumers can purchase the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $129.99/$139.99 CND. The company expects this latest price move to fuel consumer demand even further.

PlayStation 2 is the most popular gaming platform in North America, Europe/PAL territories and Japan/Asia, the only gaming platform to enjoy such widespread global success. To date, more than 101 million PlayStation 2 units and approximately one billion pieces of software for the PlayStation 2 have shipped worldwide, making it the fastest-selling gaming platform in the world.

I was hoping they would cut it to 99.99 like the Gamecube. That was clearly not what they had in mind though.

I’m on the verge of a blind fury. I wanted an under hundred price tag too.

I’m not even considering buying any system for more than 99.99 except maybe a DS Lite, but my Advance still keeps me pretty happy.

Maybe you can get a refurbished or a used system for $99.99.

I don’t know how 129.99 USD equates to 139.99 Canadian… my math gives me 148.015 Canadian… weird… oh well. I know our DVDs and CDs are cheaper, even when considering the conversion, but I didn’t know that applied to games and game systems. Weird…

Saw it for 128.83 Canadian at Wal=Mart yesterday. That’s a 30$ price drop. Crazy!
