hmm so if Walmart is canceling your orders does that mean they have a few more left in stock? Just curious, or did they cancel them right away and sell them unnoticed.

I called to complain that i lived in a shared housing unit with more than on "customer" and was told that its one per household. Additionally, she said they didnt have enough to cover all the orders they took in last time.

Hey StonerDave, I was there today too at Okemos. They had more in the back! They refuse to sell them to us tho cuz they were selling them to the employees. It's ridiculous......I saw them hand them out to two kids that went to the back. I was wicked pissed. I need one for my brother for Xmas

I just got my single ps2 bundle from walmart last week. Im gonna keep this in the closet til right before christmas to sell cause I cannot find anymore locally which sucks cause I wanted to buy as many as I could and make some good change but oh well.

I asked walmart.com if multiple people could order from the same address and they told me no problem with individuals in the same household ordering a system each, and they specifically addressed it with the high demand playstation 2.

Ive had a ps2 since launch and haven't been very impressed graphically that much but am playing some good games and loving the psx1 features. I just got a memory card today and an extra controller so I can start diggin into more games.

36 free rentals is great. Only prob is that the closest store to me is in freaking Pomona! Sorry, not going to drive 400 miles to rent some games. I don't get it though. Do they really have them in stock or are they just taking orders? Since I can't use the rentals I'm basically just paying for the system, and $500 is a little too high. After shipping and tax, it's in the area of $550, wouldn't really make too much more if you e*ay it considering how much the auction fees would be. Think I'll pass on this one.

Got my PS2 bundle from Walmart.com yesterday and I have to say that I like the system. Also, I went into an EB with Ridge Racer unopened and no receipt, told them it was a gift, and they let me exchange it for SSX with no problems.

Sony PS2 is a piece of crap. it does'nt have anti-aliasing.
Developers are having a s**t of a time developing for it.
In time NCUBE will rule. because PS2 as a hardware is a piece of crap!

Remember it's the games that make a system, not so much whether or not it has anti-aliasing. In a year, when everyone is being blown away by how good GT 3, Silent Hill 2, FF IX, and MGS 2 look and play, you'll be eating those words.

eating em, and playing my xbox and gamecube...
but I get all systems, not because of looks, but because of gameplay.
Dreamcast is currently the gameplay king right now.

Keep watching Walmart.com if you want to get one of these. I was surfing today at lunchtime, clicked on walmart and to my surprise they had PS2 bundles in stock. Placed my order (which was accepted) and then immediatly checked back to find they were already sold out! Whatever quantity they had sold out in a couple of minutes, but they seem to be getting more in so if you keep checking periodically you'll probably luck out and get one.

SONY PS2's are a piece of garbage why would
you spend 300 dollars on crap. I played it at my friends
house and I was like 300 dollars for this crap.
I was expecting Final fantasy Cutscene type of gameplay
during the whole deal. not those ugly polygonal craps.
The game i played was kessen and supposedly kessen
had the best graphics out of all the release games. and
kessen didnt have final fantasy 7 cutsene type of graphics
bleah. CRAP CRAP CRAP. ill wait till it drops to 150 dollars then
get it. by that time game programmers would have actually
figured out how to use the vector units efficiently.
but until then all those who spent 300+ for a PS2
well it shows how dumb you are. Sony should stick the the walkman.

Right from Amazon:

We've confirmed that new shipments of PlayStation2 game packs will arrive both this week and the next. Because availability continues to be extremely limited, we anticipate once again selling out very quickly. All PS2 game packs will become available on the Web site as soon as we receive them in our warehouse. We'll post updates about these and all future shipments in our PS2 Store. We're unable to give exact "by-the-minute" arrival times, so the best way to maximize your chances for success is to check the PS2 Store frequently. Don't worry if you miss out in the next couple of weeks--we expect further shipments before the holidays. Good luck!
