PS2 price drop in Feb??
 

I read in another post

that there is going to be a price reduction on the PS2 in February.

Anyone heard anything else about this?

The rumor that "the PS2 will drop in price next month" has existed since the system was launched. Right now, it's easily outselling the competition, so price drop is highly unlikely.

And next month we'll have one that says, "PS2 to drop price in March!" :).

And last month they said "PS2 to drop price in January." :)

Well, I think this "rumor" has more body to it now that Sony has dropped the price of PS2s in Japan would you think? (Article) :p

Naturally I'm hoping that they do drop the price soon so I can afford to jump on the juggernaut (or is that bandwagon?) that is PS2. :D Then again, they may keep the price that way for some time to keep from losing too much money on every console sale.

yes, there will be a price drop next month. It will coincide with the release of the Playstation 3.

A Best Buy employee told me that there will be a price drop next month! Best Buy employees know the facts ;)

if you read the text from Nostradamus, he predicted a price drop for something.

:confused: What do you mean release!? I already have the PS3 and it rocks [fanboy] It's waaaay better than that crappy mini computer and that kiddie toy[/fanboy] :D

I wouldn't expect to see a price drop until around E3 in late May at the earliest. Even then, I don't believe it'll be very much. Maybe $249? Or Sony may hold off on a price drop, wait until their online service rolls out and start bundling an ethernet adapter with the systems.

That's all wild ass speculation, of course, but I would think that's the type of stuff that's realistic. Anyone saying $199 by next month or whatever is dreaming.
