Sony PlayStation 2 is a phenomenal in video gaming industries.Recently Sony Corp said they will cut the price of its older video game console, the PlayStation 2, by 23 percent to $99.99, in an attempt to woo budget-minded families.The price was obviously a good bargain and wise decision during this economy struggle.
The price cut, effective April 1, could sustain the life of the PS2, which has sold more than 136 million units since its debut in 2000, making it the world’s popular gaming system, Sony said on Tuesday.
The news follows — and momentarily puts to rest — rumors on video gaming websites and blogs that Sony might cut the price of the PlayStation 3, its more powerful console. The PS3’s least expensive model sells for about $400.
Sony said that the sub-$100 price will draw in a new wave of customers ranging from lower-income families to gamers who may have passed on pricier new systems. In addition, it may give incentive to retailers to keep PS2 on store shelves.via Nytimes
I am on a budget and I don’t want to buy a Xbox 360 or a Sony Playstation 3 so I want to buy either a Xbox or a PS2. What would be the best to buy out of those two. Affordability and reliability.
