Out this week is the Sony PlayStation 2 silver design. Overall weight of the PS 2 has been halved in this new version. It costs $129.99.

I was hoping the PS2 would drop down to below $100 but looks like that may take a while, if ever. With a newly revamped model, the PS2 looks to be a strong console system for a while even in the face of the next gen consoles. I may have to bite the bullet and buy one at $129.99. It seems $129 is the magic number. The new DS Lite is also $129 and also on my wish list.
