Title: PS2 shortage
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on November 29, 2004, 07:00:50 PM
Well, I finally decided to get a PS2. I went to Best Buy and bam...out of stock, Circuit City? out. Blockbuster was out, EB was out. I heard Media Play was out too. I didn't check were places like wal-mart or target but they were probably out too.

Why is everyone buying PS2's all the sudden?

PS2's have been out/extremely low in stock for the last month or so around here.
If you want a used one your out of luck too. Those have been gone around here for a few months.
Don't know what the reasoning is but i hope you were smart enough to ask for when the next shipment came in because if you don't know they might be sold out again before you can get to them.

Maybe because the smaller ps2 just got released?

And the old one has been out of production for at almost 4 months maybe more.

It's probably right before Xmas, everyone wants to get a new PS2, so that's probably why they were out of stock. :/ A few years back when my brother and I decided to pick up a Dream Cast, this is pretty much the time when DC stopped releasing new games, we couldn't even get a hold of one ANYWHERE. *shake head* People are crazy right before Xmas. All I could say is, good luck locating one. :/ Or try to find one online.

I just want to buy one happy I live in Europe. Still think it's a rip-off. My first PS2 died alreaady while my first Saturn still lives, and that while I play much more on my Saturn.

My suggestion is that all of you get some connections.
My mom has been to 3 different stores. 2 of which twice looking for the also hard to find Xbox.
I made one quick call and the guy told me he could get one before the end of the month for me.

I'd suggest asking your evil cousin if he can hook you up.  I don't know how often they get those in at his store, but it can't hurt to ask him.
