PlayStation 2 Drops in Price to $99.99

The buzz has been that Sony would be dropping the price of their PlayStation 2 gaming console soon, and sure enough today they announced just that. Starting tomorrow (April 1st) you will be able to pick up a PlayStation 2 at your local store for $99.99. A pretty good deal considering the library of games will hit almost 1,900 titles this year. 1,900!! No doubt there is something to please everyone in your family.

But just because they're dropping the price, don't think they'll stop delivering new games for the PS2. Sony says they will continue to offer new titles for families, the avid gamer, and everyone in between.

Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA said, "Demand for PlayStation 2 remains strong throughout the world, and the new $99 price point will bring in new consumers who will discover how PlayStation platforms are an outstanding choice for their gaming and home entertainment needs. Just as PlayStation 2 is delivering on a 10-year lifecycle and helped expand and solidify the DVD format for home entertainment along the way, we believe PLAYSTATION 3 offers the same promise by helping secure the Blu-ray format and delivering unprecedented value as the total home entertainment solution for the next decade."

Hmm….with the PS2 going down in price, does this mean the PlayStation 3 will drop its' price sometime soon?
