Josh Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Yeah, but I'm wondering if this will cause some consumer confusion / anger when all of a sudden it jumps up to $199 in June. Most people aren't as in-the-know as we are and will simply see it as a price increase. Eithter that or it will stay at $179. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I haven't been keeping up on the new PS2 model. Is it going to be physically identical to the current PS2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 It'll remain at $179. I haven't seen images of the redesigned model yet either. Not sure if they've released them yet. I would expect it to look different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 if it does look different I'm definetely buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 They will promote the fact that the Network Adapter is included to justify the jump in price. -Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 How can they? Xbox has a HD & a network adapter and it's only $179. They won't raise the price back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Ah, I didn't know that Camp. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaykr Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'll get one if it looks different. I probably would've got one if it JUST looked different. I know, I'm a sucker. But I'd be a sucker with the newer look PS2. Booyah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 How can they? Xbox has a HD & a network adapter and it's only $179. They won't raise the price back. but the xbox doesn't have 56k support! that to me is worth the $20 alone. ps - if you didn't realize i'm joking by now shame on you.

Camp Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I thought the new PS2 only had broadband included? Is has the modem too? Even if it has both, it's still not worth $20. They can do the modem in software if they wanted -and you can buy a hardware modem at Newegg for like $8.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre F Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 I hate to say it but the only reason I have dusted off my PS2 has been for The Matrix game I rented. Damn, I like that game! I like price drops to though, it helps to expand the industry so we get better games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
