When news leaked that Sony would have a big announcement today and then the company followed up with an official statement telling folks not to look for a PlayStation 3 price drop, it was all but confirmed that the PlayStation 2 would be taking center stage this morning.
Now, it's official: the PS2 will begin retailing for $99.99 tomorrow, April 1, 2009.
"PlayStation 2 set the industry standard for worldwide mass market adoption and is a clear embodiment of Sony's commitment to platforms that deliver 10-year product lifecycles," said Jack Tretton, SCEA president and CEO. "It's a tribute to outstanding technology, great consumer value and unprecedented development support that we've now been able to do twice what no one else has ever accomplished."
Since its launch on Oct. 26, 2000, the PS2 has sold more than 136 million sell-in units worldwide and collected nearly 1,900 titles. If you've been waiting for a PS2 (Seriously, man?) or a DVD player (You're kidding, right?), looks like tomorrow is your time to buy.
