Well, I finally bit the bullet and purchased my PS2 tonight. I had bought a lot of the Final Fantasy PSOne games a few weeks back, and tonight I actually bought the system.
My wallet is going to be hurting soon, I can tell.
My first stop was The Wiz, which I believe is primarily a NYC area chain of stores, that is closing. They've pretty much got everything for 15-40% off right now. I purchased my 24" Sony Wega from them last week - 370$ as opposed to 450$ everywhere else.
Tonight I wandered into their video game section and bought (at 30% off):
Lunar 2 - Eternal Blue Complete (42$)
Frequency (21$)
Quantum Redshift (14$)
They had no consoles of any sort left, but they had a decent selction of PSOne games - all I wanted was Lunar 2 though. I'm sure there was more there I could have bought, but I needed money for the rest of my purchases tonight.
I was also looking for a nice set of Monster component video cable (for my Sony Dream system) but they were all out. I'll have to purchase it elsewhere, but without the 40% discount they were having at The Wiz. I have a set of the Monster Game PS2 S-Video & Optical Cable sets coming tomorrow as well.
I ended up going to Gamestop to purchase:
Sony PS2 Console
Final Fantasy X
Sony 8MB Memory Card
Sony PSOne Memory card
I just hooked it all up, and now my room finally feels like MY room.
I'm going to play some Frequency tonight, and maybe run through some of the PSOne games I've bought recently before I hit Final Fantasy X. I'll probably pick up Amplitude next week, and maybe another RPG or three to keep myself busy.
I can't believe I've gone so long without buying a PS2. I've probably missed some great games for it over the past 2 years or so.
*EDIT* Quick Question: Is there a Sony Website I can go to register my PS2? It's 100% new, but I couldn't find a registration card or anything in it...
