Will the slim PS2 still be available next summer?
Title says it all: do you think the slim PS2 will still be available next summer? I want to play FFX and FFXII, but I don't think I want to drop $500/$600 for a PS3---especially because I do not plan on upgrading to a high-def TV set for many years.
Still, it would be nice to play those games over my summer vacation. I'm just way too busy during the school year.

I would say definitely because there will still be God of War 2 coming out in the spring. If I remember correctly the PSOne was still being produced until a couple of years ago.

I can think of only two things. Either "much grass" is a weird abbreviation for "mucho gracias" or by "grass" you meant marijuana.

The PS2 is still selling very well, and with the shortage of PS3's, I would imagine that the PS2 would be available for quite some time - at least a year if not two or more.

Monthly console sales statistics
They're nearly outselling the other three home consoles combined. No need to drop the price--it'd be like flushing money down the toilet.

I juist don't understand HOW they can sell that many PS2's month to month. I would of thought at some point, everyone who wanted one would of bought it by now - obviously I am wrong. That or everyone is rebuyin' due to their PS2's dying.
Ah hell, what am I saying? I need to buy another. I gave my old launch PS2 to my father so he could play his yearly version of Madden.

Yeah I think it will be around for a couple years, the PS1 was around for a long time after the PS2 came out, there were still games coming out even a couple years ago for the PS1 ( I remember reading about a sports game being released for the PS1 and being stunned they still made games for the sytsem). I bet you will see the PS2 drop below $100 next year.

Well 'trying to charge' applies to me anyway. I would have bought a slim PS2 but the price kept me away. Amazed that so many people are still buying them. I still prefer the GCN.
