Ding ding ding d!ng……
Sony’s releasing a red-colored PS2 in Japan on July 3. It’s gonna cost you ¥16,000, or around $150, for the eight-year-old game console.
Nowhere is it suggested that this model of the PS2 will be released here in the U.S. :-(
And yes, in lieu of a PS3, I still have a PS2 connected to my TV, thank you very much.

Because it still frequently outsells the current generation of consoles.
I love the PS2, its a fantastic piece of hardware. Considering how well it still sells, I think it makes sense for them to have a little fun with it and switch things up a bit from time to time.
And this is just my opinion, but I think it looks pretty sharp.

Yeah, the PS2 is more or less pure profit for Sony these days. Slapping on a new coat of paint and squeezing out a few more sales certainly doesn’t hurt.

I still have mine from the first batch. Works like a champ.
