Holy shit that's amazing.

By the way, I've been saving some Intellivision games for you - in case you ever did get one. Well your wife got 'em all for you. 8)

:lol:

Thanks, Bone! I am very pleased with the new games, and I look forward to starting up yet another collection! (I am also looking forward to hitting up my favorite game hunting location later this week to see what Intellivision games it has in stock!)

So they didn't have any PS2 backward compatible systems when I went back in :P. However they did have another fatty PS3 with a 160gb hard drive it was marked at $200. I offered to pay the sticker price difference between the two which was $50(other one had originally been $100 after they gave me $50 off). However the clerk who I know pretty well refused to charge me any more then $10 :P. Yet another reason I love the Tri-State Pawn & Jewelry chain.

So $110 for a 160gb PS3 fatty. Plus when I got home I tested it out and found a copy of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm was left inside :).

How much is the average price range of ps2 games by now?

I never owned a ps2 and had plans on getting the slim model but due to my lack of money and time (big backlog) + many of the best games are available for lower prices and in HD remakes on the PSN store I see no reason to purchase a dedicate ps2 .
At the pawn shop chain that I frequent the price is $3 for any PS2,Xbox, or GC games. Occasionally they will grab a well known valuable game and mark it up, but they usually don't bother since they pay around $0.50-$0.75 for older games. One of their stores just charges $2 per older game and another has had a Buy 2 Get 1 Sale going on for about a month now so I wouldn't be surprised if they all swap over to $2 soon.

While there are a lot of good remakes coming out there are still some pretty great great games that haven't gotten ports yet such as Kingdom Hearts 2. Also there were around 3-4 thousand games released for the PS2 so there are a large variety of unique games that will probably never get a re release.

PS2 systems go for around $20-30 in the pawns around here so it's about the cheapest system on the market. Store I went to had a really nice fatty PS2 for $20 but I already have a spare I need to sell myself :P.

Sounds like you got a fat model with a hard drive upgrade. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I do not think they made a 160 GB fat model. Throw a PS2 game in that bad boy or look up the model number. Call me an ass if I am wrong on this if it pleases anyone!!

It's a CECHP01 that was released in November 2008. No PS2 compatibility sadly but it's still a nice system for $110. Now if only i could get it configured for my wireless network :P. Routers currently being a bitch about letting it online :P.

Basically any model with 4 USB ports should have some compatibility. Good to know, thanks!

That's a good attitude to have, but the best PS2 games are mostly not in HD collections or on PSN. Gradius V and Valkyrie Profile 2, for example.
