CS rep tells me they're selling:

PS2 system (and all the goodies it comes with, controller, memory card. Woohoo what a package)
An extra, third party(?) controller
Maden NFL 2001
Men In Black Collector's edition DVD
DVD Remote

for $449. Goes on sale at 12:01AM EST today...err...tomorrow. I'm tempted to do it, I haven't bought a console gaming system since PS1. Is anyone else planning on trying to get this? I haven't even decided yet and then the question is if I'll get in on the "first-come-first-served" basis. :)

I would have, but I'm not too crazy about that price, nor the stuff that is bundled with it. I guess I'm just going to wait to buy it when FFIX comes out, or another must have RPG. :)

I don't think I'd even be considering it if I was also in the market for a DVD player...seems like quite a deal, a PS2 and a DVD player for $300. *sigh* I just don't know. :cool:

Another reason I'm not considering it at the moment is because I already have a DVD player, so there goes that function..

Humm, the buy dot com fiasco is over and everyone is pissed. Imagine that. Don't know if I am going to go to the B&M stores tomorrow or not. I guess all the diehards are already there. I do not need this thing. I should just try and get one and sell it for double the price. Typical gaming company. Hype up a product and then be like, we don't have enough, even thou we have been making them for over a year. Japan is flooded with them, had a friend in Japan who could of got me one. I'll just spend my money on my lonely PC. :disgust:
