So how long am I gonna have to wait for my PS2?

[geno]

I missed the first shipment, absolutely no stores have them around here. When is Sony sending out the next batch??

 

[HKSturboKID]

My friend owns a game store and right now the price is up to like $500 bux, because it so rear. He told me that it cost him about over $450. I'll bet this will be a very HOT item this christmas at E*ay. Just like Game boy and Pokemon like last year. I still regret not buying the gameboy last October when I get the chance for cheap, by Christmas time everyone was looking for them.

Gamestop sent me an e-mail saying their next shipment would be "post-Christmas". Who knows though........

 

[geno]

Damn Sony!! This isn't funny!!

 

[prodigy]

I heard March 2001.

 

[abracadabra1]

i'd say february would be a good guess.

I think this huge delay is really gunna hurt the PS2 games. Companies look at their sales for a particular game, see they aren't selling, and say screw Sony let's do Dreamcast or XBox or something else.

They don't care about Sony no being able to produce the unit, they care about their bottom line. Bottom line is, Sony is screwing us without vaseline, we'll screw em right back and not produce games. Sony knew they wouldn't be able to deliver the units; they should have just delayed the release of it until they had enough of a supply to cover the demand, or at least a greater portion of the demand.

They are really hurting game developers by pulling this crap. Imagine how many more games would be bought if everyone that wanted a PS2 could get ahold of it. Tons and tons. The PS2 sold out like hotcakes last night/today. If everyone that had wanted one could have gotten one, there would be more games sold, more revenue generated for the developers, more programmers hired, and more cool games made.

Sony needs to get production on those things fired up, and fired up yesterday. Get those units on the shelves lickity split, they will sell. Boom boom boom. Mo money. Game company says, 'wow, PS2 sales are rocking. Let's get a few more programmers and make some new cool games.'

Dude vaseline sucks. Too thick.

Sony is shooting themself in the foot with this launch. If the Gamecube and/or XBox were going to be released sooner than a year from now, the PS2 would be dead in the water. Luckily, with the GC being released Q4 of '01 and XBox around the same time, they have time to make up for their lack of hardware. (Sega is cashing in on the PS2 launch too - the only other next-gen system available at half the price of the PS2)

If there aren't tons more PS2's available by december, this will be a dreamcast dominated christmas.

SOny really has the marketing concept down, eh? It's amazing that they had all year to prepare for launch, and screwed up so badly. I hope they realize their error, push production, and release it in the future with an extra controller or a game at a lower price point, and include an apology to all the consumers for this travesty.

sony like it up the ars . I wanted to get one today and them bastards must have shipped 2 to every store. Why didn't they ship like 3 million all at once . people would buy them and more games would be made. I might not even buy one now because they are so dumb

 

[PistachioByAzul]

They didn't ship 3 million because they didn't have 3 million. They shipped all they had.

 

[cgclausen]

I heard something about them shipping 100 a week, I don't know if that is true, but if it is good luck getting one before christmas.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

100,000 a week until Christmas. Shouldn't be too hard getting one, just talk to the people at Best Buy and find out the exact dates.

 

[Soulflare]

Many stores are getting another/or their first shipment during the
first couple weeks of November. You just need to keep close tabs
on the electronics stores where you live.

* Soulflare goes back to playing SSX on his shiny new PS2 *
