In short, thats ****ing bull****. I love my PS2 and have been dying to get the latest and greatest PS2 Slimline for a while now.
:(
Given that the pound is worth basically nothing right now, it makes sense. I think the price drop will hit the UK some time soon or whenever the pound decides to stop being rubbish.
Stupid economy.. I've been fancying a PS2 for some retro fun for ages now, but refuse to buy when for £30 more you can get an xbox360. Instead of that pointless VAT cut, Brown should of given every home a PS2! :D
