Need a new PS2, any good deals around?

[VACRMH]

Yeah, I think it's about time for the PS2 to kick the bucket... It's lasted me a good 4 or so years so it's not too upsetting.

Anyways, I know some stores offer free rentals and such. What place do you suggest I pick one up at?

Thanks

There was a guy at our mall tody selling them out of his trunk for $50...seriously.

Gamecrazy I believe is the store that offers free rentals with purchase of a system. Not quite sure how that works. I really haven't seen a good sale on a PS2 in some time. Possibly check the Sunday adds this week to see if any retailer is tossing in any goodies.

You could try to get a launch PS2 that constantly gives a DRE, then send it in to sony to get it fixed for free. Don't tell them that you know that it's free, though.

If you decide to do so, only ship the PS2 itself. nothing else. Nothing. not the Hard drive or the Online adapter.

You won't get a mint PS2, but it'd work.

Really? I thought that they stopped doing that.

I'd love to try that, any suggestions on what to say? I've seen some info around so i'll look into it. Thanks!

I am unaware wether sony stopped doing that or not.

But look in the Technical And Restoration Society for a post titled "PS2 Disc Read Error". There is a tutorial on how to send one in to sony there.

The topic is still on the first page, so you won't need to use the search.
