My sister and I are planning on going halves on a PS2 for my youngest brother for his birthday next month. I don't get a chance to hit the stores as often as I like, so I'm not sure which store is running which deal, and which deal is actually the BETTER deal..
This is where you come in :)
What chain stores do you know of currently offering "deals" for the PS2? I've seen deals where you can get the system, a game, a magazine subscription and a discount card for an extra fifty bucks, I've seen a deal where you could do a "trade-in" on a system to get thirty bucks off (but the employee said they were never informed the details so he didn't know what you could/couldn't "trade-in" to get the deal..). What else have you seen? His birthday is the 18th, and we'll probably go buy it the week before, so if you know of any EXTRA "one day only" deals that'll be running, lemme know those too!

I know that software etc or gamestop has the deal but you have to buy a controller and choose two new games with it.

Sams club or costco. both have bundles with extra controller, mem card, and 2 games for $190. tough to beat that.

Darn....I thought this was a "what was the best deal you ever got on a PS2" thread...was gonna brag :) Haven't seen any good deals for PS2 hardware, but this is Canada land of the consumer rape for more money, so not a big shock.

Is that the right price, or did you mean $290?

It was around $220 for that bundle before Xmas, but at the Sam's Club nearby here I saw it for $199 just this week. The games aren't new or anything though, the bundle I saw had Gran Turismo 3 and Jeremy McGrath BMX. Still, with a mem card and extra controller, you just cant beat that price.
