Sad day for the Japanese, let's hope there's still at least another year for the rest of the world.

I think it's about time I buy a new PS2. Not to play, just to hold on to. That thing's gonna be worth a fortune some day.

I plan on doing the same very soon.

I don't get it, the PS2 is selling slightly less then the 360

Sometimes even more, yet the 360 is still being shipped over there?

Make's no sense

MS has to keep shipping in Japan for PR reasons.

360 still has much higher sales in Japan than in many smaller countries.

Something that is rare might be worth a fortune some day. Standard or slim PS2s certainly won't be.

I would get a PS2 if I could find the games for a cheaper price.

Wait a minute...

New PS1s are selling for 270-500 on amazon right now. That system launched at 300 and sold over 100million units.
