^ FYI that's not only in Japan, most people I know who had the original big PS2 have already replaced it with PS2 slim as it costs almost half as much to fix it so they rather upgrade to the slim one for a not that high price. Ebay can't be used from here, at least for most people and there is not a big market for defective electronics around here. I was going for PS2 myself and I would if the price hadn't increased around here. However most other countries the price has decreased making it a very cheap way to finally play the few exclusives you missed from your favorite console or the PC.

It's not the fault of Sony... everything has been increasing in general, for example now most console games cost $80 no matter if they are PS2 Xbox or 360. Antartica is not in Europe :)

That sucks, although it's not too far from what we pay for new games. Sales help though. Antarctica was a joke, I didn't know you were in Europe. But surely the older titles don't cost $80?

GBASP, GBM and GameCube all outsold the Xbox 360 :o

And both DSL and DS are in the top 5 :woot:

And which stores stock those few remaining Xboxes and GBAs?? :wacko:

Common now, is that really a surprise?

Also suprising is a next gen console being outsold out by a 6 year old console by about 25 times week after week. It may be much cheaper, but it's six years old ;)

You sure like to post that same comment over and over and over, don't ya.

Most of Japan is almost certainly waiting for the PS3. It will be interesting to see what happens to the 360 if the PS3 flops.

Thats bloody-plain-obvious. You reiterating that for x number of times means you are looking for "fulfillment" in the wrong place. :rofl:

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?

      Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
