Sweet! the best console for $99 is a steal.

I'd buy it if I didn't already own a backwards-compatible PS3. Definitely worth it for those entering the gaming scene, or own a PS3 without the BC.

I never got around to getting a PS2 so I might just pick one up.

I've still got my big ol' PS2 but it's over at Tsunaii's house currently. I've always wanted a slimline though so if this price carries over to the UK I might pick one up.

IIRC yeah you can. It involves an action replay disc and a memory card.

You can either make a magic memory card or use USB Xtreme.

Yea I am going to get one of these and mod it so I can have something to play for when my 360 craps out on me.

Holy shit, I sold my PS2 last summer but I may just pick one up if it's a hundred bucks. Spend a little more and you've got a fucking awesome library of games for free. There was always a bunch of games I wanted to play on the PS2 that I never got around to.

I only picked that up last year. A shit ton better than many games out for 360 and PS3.

Great. Now you're making me want the game even more. Be quiet!

Get Ico as well. It's not as good but it's still a joy to play.

You people are crazy. You could have got a PS2 yesterday for $20 more depending on where you bought it. Now that it's $99 it has become the deal of the century?
