Sony revamps the PlayStation 2 in time for holiday season
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced a new limited edition 'Ceramic White' PS2 to come bundled with casual gaming hit SingStar Pop, two USB microphones, and a single white Dual-Shock controller. The new bundle will be available in November for a suggested retail price of around $150.
At that price point, Sony is hoping the PS2 will lure some casual gamers away from the Wii this holiday season. With an installed base of about 117 million PS2 consoles worldwide, it makes sense for Sony to keep squeezing a profit from this best seller, which continues to rank as the second-best-selling console almost every month – ahead of the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

As probably the last person in the world with-out a PS2, I think this looks like a pretty attractive package! I swayed from purchasing a PS2 after learning about them through my cousin-in-law who was sending his 3rd PS2 back to Sony for a failed DVD drive. I went Xbox instead. But $150 for a system and a game with a huge back-library with plenty of cheap and used stock to pick from? Sounds good to me. |

Overall I think thats pretty good, to be honest i was a bit disappointed by the graphics from the Wii, it would probably be the best console system if it had graphics at the very least like the xbox. |
