It's been a long time coming, but the PS2 is finally dropping to $99 on April 5th. This has been rumored for a while, but the retail flyers for that week confirmed it, as well as some computer entries posted over on the High Def Digest forums.

So the PS2 is dropping below $100 finally after nine years on the market. But do you think this is really going to spur sales or even put a dent in the Wii juggernaut? Seems like too little too late from Sony at this point, especially when they should be busting ass to get the PS3 price down.

This should be officially announced on the 31st.

I can't belive it took this long for PS2 to drop to $99. I think it is going to sell really well in April because of the economy.

I still have my phat PS2 that I bought back in 2002 and it still works perfectly (yup, no DREs or anything), but if the slim version is only $99 I'll get that as well just in case this one breaks.

I probably should get one so I can play Metal Gear Solid (1-3) and Persona. Plus some other games I can't think of now.

I have the MGS games, Killzone, the God of War games, and Tekken 5, all of which I should probably play before getting a PS3.
