New PS2 Models Hitting US Stores

Multiple readers across North America have emailed to inform us that the new, slightly smaller, AC adapter-less PlayStation 2 systems are hitting U.S. retail outlets this week.

will the ps2 ever die ?!?!?!?!

that has to be my fav system and the best system in gaming history.

gambare5722d ago

there are too much great games for it, and I still have half of my library untouched, that's a reason for me to buy another PS2 in case my other PS2 fails.

Genesis55722d ago

Guess they are going to take a run at 200 million units life time. Could they do that in a 10 year life span?

kwicksandz5722d ago

Silent hill 3, dragon quest, grandia 2,second sight,finishing FFX and FFXII... ill never get through my ps2 back at this rate

Microsoft_Spokesman5722d ago

That will be a gaming milestone. That will be so crazy. 200 million, just imagine.

sumfood4u5721d ago (Edited 5721d ago )

It would be even smarter if they added the Import Device I have in my PS2! so that way the can experience oversea's Japan games they rock as well on the PS2! I have New Alter Beast, Both School Rumble games, Kanon ect ect. All I'm saying is they should promote Japan games as well people are missing out on Unique BadA$$ Games on their system!

Don't 4get the DS is catching up to the PS2 Legacy!

shelbygt335721d ago

Who does not own a PS2. Really, I think I'm the only one. Had the PS1, then got the xbox, now I own all three systems and the psp.

I know there are lots of great games... but now that I have the latest and greatest, I find myself not wanting to go back. The only "old school" game I play these days is Black from the original xbox.

...The PS2;) the KILLER of LOADS of other Consoles!!! ;-D
I might get another one!!!;)

strotee5722d ago

You know what's sad? The PS2 might still be on the market when the 360 is discontinued and the 720 (I hate that name) is released.

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

...when i packed away my PS1 when i got a PS2!!! :-(
(Excited tho when opened the PS2 box, and had SOOOOOOO many happy years with it to) ;-P
Same with the PS2 for the PS3 :-(
(Again...Excited tho when opened the PS3 box, and i'm enjoying it LOADS!!!) ;-P
Oh well you gotta move with the times!!!;)
(Unless your a xBox owner that is!!!) ;-D
(Sorry couldn't resist that one!) ;)

@strotee ;) I think M$ will call it xBox 4(Something)???
Because they called their 2nd Console xBox 3(60) to fool the public into thinking it was their 3rd Console!!! ;-D (HOW SAD IS THAT???)
Erm it didn't work!!! ;-D

I'm off now to play last years REAL GOTY...'Uncharted:Drake's Fortune'!!! ;-P

cmrbe5722d ago

this is another 2 years added to the PS2 life to achieve its 10 year goal.

This model will do very well in developing countries.

No FanS Land5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

I just don't understand why sony would release a new ps2 model. the only reason I've got in mind is that their strategy could be this:

ps2 for ps2 games

ps3 for ps3 games

The most relevant reason why sony chose to phase out the 80gb model and go with the 40gb. and surely it costs less to produce a ps2 and a 40 gb ps3 instead of one 80gb model. That's what I think.

Edit: Otherwise, sony is dumb on this one as they sould focus on making the ps3 a better gaming system because sometimes I honestly think that it's a better multimedia machine than a game machine.

TheColbertinator5722d ago

To be honest Sony should just go forward with a price cut to recap the losses of the PS3.Plenty of lower class consumers would rather pick this up than the Wii.

70-100 dollars should do the trick

Ju5722d ago

I am pretty sure a <=$99 will show up sooner or later. But it still sells well, for what it costs.

I just had to go back to my old apartment for a week and brought my old big PS2. Got "Black" for $19.99. Man, I missed out on that one until now. What a great game. Can't imagine the PS2 could do that. Still rather OK for a non HD TV set, I think.

I would still hope, they'll add a wifi and a bluetooth together with the DS3, so I don't need any cables and can use all my controllers on either the PS3 or the PS2. (won't happen, I know, but maybe get rid of the Ethernet port, and producing one controller for both, PS2/3 could compensate for the costs in doing so).

C_SoL5722d ago

...Perfect, sell it there then.........

juuken5722d ago

Daaaaaaaaaaamn!

I love the PS2. This system rocks!

So does the PS3. :D

I have all three systems.

Sony FTW!

Nathaniel_Drake5722d ago

Yup the PS2 does still rock, I still have the fat PS2 from longs agos, and I remember the first game I got for it was Kingdom Hearts, good times!!! This new one is looking sweet, might get it if my PS2 fat fails which I don't think will happen

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger885d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH4d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan4d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."

shinoff21837d ago (Edited 7d ago )

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

purple1016d ago

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC7d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC7d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos6d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga6d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer7d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6027d ago (Edited 7d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya7d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde7d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP6d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
