If you are like me and primarily played with the GCN last gen and you missed out on the MANY MANY MANY great PS2 titles, the price of AAAAAAAA new PS2 will drop to $99 tomorrow, AAAAAAAA lot less than AAAAAAAA Wii (plus the PS2 has AAAAAAAA lot more games going for it at AAAAAAAA much cheaper price), then this is an amazing opportunity to buy one.
HERE I COME PERSONA 4 AND GOD OF WAR doodella;
Update: The new price was input today, Gamestop's website has it up as $99 so it's official now.
Oh my god a 30$ price drop makes a 10 year old system sooo much more appealing hocuspocus;
Seriously, this better be their April Fools joke and tomorrow they'll be like "JUST KIDDING THE PS3 IS GOING TO BE 300 NOW
WE SURE GOT YOU GUYS LOL"

I may actually consider getting a PS2 because of the price drop and I really want to play Persona 4

YES, Ico and Shadow of Collosus are on my "To buy" list. They are like $5 used at Gamestop.
I just hope I am not overwhelmed with games ;-;

You really only need 4 games:
Okami
Shadow of the Colossus
Ico
GTA San Andreas
Definitely get God of War. Both of the games are incredible. Look into the Ratchet and Clank series as well.

idk i just don't see how a 30 dollar price drop makes it that much more appealing that's all

because it is 30 less dollars, pretty much. 99 dollars is a lot different than 129 or whatever... a lot different.
Now if the psp dropped a little bit, that would be pretty cool
Yeah, I'm actually kinda pissed since I just bought a PS2 three weeks ago. But once again, whats $30....oh wait I could fill up my tank for that now. O_0

Shadow of the Colossus had amazing art work and awesome design, but honestly, the gameplay sucked so much ass....

Are you kidding me?
The gampelay was a bit simple but I still enjoyed the hell out of it.
this is actually what I've been waiting for, because my ps2 broke a long time ago. But I hardly play video games anymore so I don't even know if I'll bother.
Hot damn I need a new PS2. I'm kickin' it with a fat one and it makes everything glitch out. saddood;
Where is the plain ol' "no" option?
Once my fat PS2 dies, I'll pick up a slim for $99.
Also get Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

One of my favorite games on the PS2
Now that I think about it, the PS2 is probably my favorite system of all time next to the SNES. Seriously the library of games is amazing.
If the new PS2's are dropping wouldn't that mean the used ones will too? So just buy a used slim for cheaper.
Get Space Channel 5: Special Edition while you're at it.
somebody gave me a free PS2 today! With GTA

Gawd dammit it won't let me play God of War! madood;
Shadow of the Colossus (http://lh6.ggpht.com/_J1Y2Gif69BA/SIOobjrYbPI/AAAAAAAABAM/2omYUR-E4mc/s640/colossus01_06.jpg). Awe inspiring (http://lh6.ggpht.com/_J1Y2Gif69BA/SIOpO7UniHI/AAAAAAAABCc/UQ2dYYiHBu0/s640/colossus03_05.jpg) in scope. (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_J1Y2Gif69BA/SIOrvnNikpI/AAAAAAAABFg/r5IN78lVyVw/s512/colossus13_05.jpg)
Ico (http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/4835/92406_full.jpg). Simple and elegant.
Kingdom Hearts (http://cdn1.gamepro.com/screens/105188/26235-4-2.jpg). Closest I can get to traditional RPGs while still enjoying it. I hadn't truly lived until I summoned Simba to fight beside me as I, playing as Donald Duck, whacked dudes on the head with a giant stick.
SSX Tricky (http://www.xboxexclusive.com/screens/ssx_tricky/09.jpg) (Second of the SSX games. 1 and 3 are also great). Over the top snowboarding game. Fun characters, great music, best level design I've seen in all my years. Combine with shooting down a mountain at 80mph and flying, flipping through the air half the time makes for amazing fun.
Tekken Tag (http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ttt_20.jpg) + multitap! Four player PANDA BATTLES are so great.
Gran Turismo 4 (http://www.futuregamez.net/ps2games/gt4/gt43.jpg) if you want to learn how to drive (http://www.armchairempire.com/images/Reviews/Playstation2/gran-turismo-4/gran-turismo-4-12.jpg). Burnout Revenge if you want to smash stuff.
Zone of the Enders (http://www.game-over.net/ps2reviews/2003/05/shots/122-shot-11.jpg) is a cool mecha shootan game (http://images.fragland.net/screenshots/705/26.jpg). Story is your basic animu crap, but the controls are great, and the fighting is fast paced and fun.
Also, METARU GEARU SORID giggle;
I've pretty much quit video games so no. But I do find it hilarious that the PS2 is still doing business this long.
