Redesigned model boasts built-in power supply; 25 per cent price drop likely: Thought PlayStation 2 hardware sales were going to quietly disappear after the revenue frenzy of Christmas? Think again – Sony is preparing to introduce a new, cut-price model of the console in early 2008.
MCV can exclusively reveal that this 'compact' PS2 will hit the US at just $99 in the New Year – a reduction of $30 from its current selling price of $129.
If a similar percentage cut is introduced in the UK, retailers can expect to sell the revamped system for just £75 – or maybe lower.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Everyone: wtf?
Now now... guys... Maybe this is part of testing the waters for either a trilogy re-release , remaster, remake, or a reboot?
Ps2 ain't going no where $99 in 2008 and the biggest game library if you don't have a ps2 it's time to get one!
2010 here we come ps2 should be $69 by then.
White PS2 singstar edition 149 Dollar/Euro this Holiday. If you like Karaoke, that's a much better deal. White PS2 + white 360 to own now, white PS3 to buy Christmas 2008 is the best way to go
Its only logical for sony to do this its really helping them make some sort of profit from there gaming devision while the ps3 catches up to speed!
Man, at that price I may buy a PS2 for my daughter's bedroom. She'd love her own little console.
Nice.
Good move from Sony, methinks -- position itself beneath the Wii and draw on its massive library of games. Plus, it kinda makes the BC of PS3 less of an issue (but it is still an issue, no matter what some may say).
Sony would be better off cutting this console out of the picture and supporting the PS2 library on the PS3.
