Should I go for it???
a PS2 plus extra controller - $335
memory card - $35
S-video cable - $30
MSG2 - $50
Devil MC - $50
Total of $500 minus a 10% discount brings me to $450. Should I go for it???
What should I do:
a. Go for it!!
b. Wait until after Christmas sales in January and hope to get a better deal
c. Wait until more games are released that I'm interested in
d. Scrap the PS2 and wait for more games on either GC or Xbox
memory card - $35

MSG2 - $50

What makes you think that any of that stuff would be for sale after the holidays? I really doubt that that would happen. All that for $450 is a great deal. Just hang on to your receipts and if they do get any cheaper, most stores will match themselves for 30 days.

Guess I just figured "everything" goes on sale after the holidays 
Or maybe just wishful thinking!
And darkside, really wanting something and actually dropping 500 bucks
on it are two totally different things... aaarrgghh what to do...
So far two "go for it's" and zero anything else

The question is how bad do you want those games and what is coming out for that system. For $500, you can have any of the systems out there, with what you put as your requirements. Just take a look at what's available and get what you want. No need to listen to the fools on this board

And shouldn't you be spending your money on friends and family for Christmas anyway?

I think you can do better on that price.
Shave $35 off and buy the console.
Shave $10 off and get a MadCatz memory.
Shave $15 off and get almost any other s-video cable.
That's $60, even if you buy the games at full retail. That's without any coupons or discounts, just by having fun looking around online.
Bottom line: Yes, get the PS2, but not as a bundle.
