The PS2 has a great library but I've barely been motivated to go back to playing PS2 games. And it's not a graphics thing because I play with my DS a lot more than my PS2.

If I can get the item # for Wal-Mart I'll double check. But we haven't received a PS2 since December.

It's just that simple.

I know its just off casual observations, but I believe that SONY is going to end the PS2 within the next year..

GAMESTOP has been ordering PS2s like crazy, and they are getting scarce supply, the console ends up selling out rather rapidly, and they don't end up getting PS2s for weeks. The same applies to BEST BUY, I notice these things through the online retail sites, and some local store observations. The question to me is, Why? There is clearly still demand for PS2, but why is sony shipping so little of them? They are doing the same with the PS3, its really strange in my opinion, and I think as a business they should keep selling a product that people are buying.

The system is just about 10 years old.

It's time.

It had a good run but the new systems have stolen the show from it.

Also Sony is trying to control their losses by strangling supply. Even with the recent comeback of the PS3 they don't wanna overshoot.
