Playstation 2's at CompUSA B&M for $299

[Richard98]

Title says it all. My local CompUSA (Brentwood, TN) had 5 or 6 PS2's in stock. They're selling 'em at the retail price of $299. You may want to give your local store a call.

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

whoa nice price

 

[DefRef]

Dreamcasts are available EVERYWHERE for $99.

(I don't think the PS2 is THREE TIMES better.)

 

[nghan]

Ain't DC dead? No more new games. PS2 has MetaGearSolid 2 in March

 

[Richard98]

MillionaireNextDoor, I thought that retail price wasn't bad considering they're still selling for $350+ on our favorite auction site.

Defref, I don't know if they're any better than a Dreamcast.

 

[abfpat]

Why would any moron even mention Dreamcast which is a defunct system on a PS2 poast?

 

[MrBond]

Sigh, DC is NOT dead, more games are coming.

Retail is currently the best deal. I've heard the earliest pricedrop on the ps2 won't be till christmas 2k1, which is about right. The Bestbuy employee could have been feeding us a line though, trying to get us to buy a DC rather then walk out empty handed. It's happened before

I still think the DC is a better deal. Games/accessories are cheaper, and for the $200 price difference, you can get a better DVD player then the one included in the ps2. And you can play online with the DC...the modem looks a little ways off for the ps2.

DC is well worth the money. PS2 is overrated. I am probably the 100th person to say this. Stick to DC for now then get PS2 when it drops its retail price.

 

[TranceNation]

DC is still the better choice now. You guys sound really desperate posting these 'hot' deals on ps2 at retail or higher though.

 

[mrVW]

Isn't it funny how the PS2 people say DC is dead. I have never owned either...


But the PS2 "is newborn" just about as much as "DC is dead". There has to be 20x the software for Dreamcast than PS2! Just because something is NEW, that doesn't make it useful -- it makes it expensive!

 

[mastaki11a]

Glad to see the prices for PS2 are down near to retail on egay (although you do see some for 400$?!). You know 75% of the people who got ps2's the first day or so probably egayed them!

<< Ain't DC dead? No more new games. >>



eeeeeennnn eeeeeennnn WRONG ANSWER

they are still making plenty fo games for it.i would rather have the &quot;defunct&quot; dc than a ps2 anyday.

 

[Str8UpKiller]

XBOX!!! mwahah j/k. PC > Consoles

 

[geckojohn]

I am waiting for the XBox, I have a DC right now to tide me over until then. My roomate has a PS2 and the games get old after awhile. The graphics are good and the dvd player is decent, but it isn't worth $300.

 

[SweatDaTechNiQ]

mastaki11a,
who do you think bought those ps2's that sold on epray?
it's interesting how as soon as a post for a ps2 goes up, people feel so inclined to bring dc into the post.
porche boxster - $45G's
hey, but i can get a geo metro (no offense to metro drivers) for 9 grand
is a boxster worth 5 metroes
some feel it is some feel it isn't, but i don't think the comparison is relevant
but since we're on the topic,
i owned a dc and sold it, yes on egay...
paid 150 more and bought a ps2 and have been smilin ever since

 

[RichieZ]

I will be enjoying my $14.48 dreamcast should it come through, until maybe the x-box comes out

 

[Milkyman]

Although the dreamcast console is no longer being manufactured it is still being sold and there are over 40 games still in development. And thats not mentioning all the great games that currently are available. I'm no console loyalist.. I've always had several systems and I find religious hardware loyalists to be irrational. Follow the games! I fully intend to buy a Playstation 2 but I don't think its worth the effort or the money right now. Although Onimusha might change my mind. I'm in the same position I was in when the dreamcast came out.. not really any games for that system that I want to play so I won't buy it yet.

 

[MikeyTsi]

Final Fantasy X is going to have to come out for PS2 before I become a whore for that console. Until then, I'm perfectly happy with my $50 Dreamcast, especially considering ALL the good games for it are at $20 now.

 

[OutlawWolf]

Yep, everyone should wait until PS2 drops its retail price.
By that time, more better quality games will also be available.
Right now there aren't many good games yet.

 

[dcdomain]

Although I have never bought a Sega system (except Game Gear), I would rather go with the Dreamcast over the PS2. Dreamcast is dirt cheap (and hehehe, you can burn almost all the games AS BACKUPS!!!). PS2 is overrated... think my bro is picking one up... so I guess I'll hook the house up with a DC and backup all the games from my friends.

 

[Fritzo]

I have a theory about PS2's....I think Sony is hyping these things up and holding back on stock...then the week MS's XBox is released, they're going to magically &quot;Have plenty to go around at a reduced price&quot;......just watch.
