I'm a bit confused right now...

I saw a PS2 for 77 Euro (103 USD) which seems to be sold out and then another one for 99 Euro (132 USD). That's a seriously huge difference in price.

Now there's a bundle I consider buying, but I am unsure whether it's over- or underpriced or even just normally priced.

It's 149 Euro (197 USD) for:

- PS2
- Singstar microphones
- Singstar Best of Disney (just out in Germany)

Anyone have an idea of who this relates to (European?) prices?

Sony has, or had, a few different versions out. The difference between them is essentially the size of the hard drive. There used to be 60GB, 40GB, and 20GB versions. I think they have slimmed down to only having the 40GB version.

Well, you can get a decent pre-owned PS2 for up to about £90, a new one would cost you about £100...a bundle, would be the best idea... mainly because you already get games with it, although one thing I would suggest you do... Is buy a memory card!

I remember when I first got my PSP(for my Birthday on June this year), and I used to play a game(normally story mode) and every time I turned my PSP off I had to start again... Although it won't really matter with Singstar(Though I think the one I played had a story mode... wasn't that good...) If you're going to get any other games, get a memory card...

jkennedy293, I was talking about the PS2, though I'd love to have a PS3. But since they don't have one that can play PS2 games out in my country (anymore), I won't buy one for now.


Thanks gismo, £100 would be about 110 Euro... so the bundle sounds well priced!

I do indeed need another memory card, because we just own one for the PS2. I believe. Or else I lost it or my mom did, which is just as possible come to think of it.

Ahhh, thank you for reminding me of that. I'd probably throw a fit if it was Christmas and I would be set without a memory card.

No problem, A memory card shouldn't cost much, if you buy it from a games store, buying one online... especially one of the Standard Sony one's would cost you about £14.67 at a game store(I checked the price online), Buying one on Ebay would cost about £2-£13, buying one from Sony would cost quite a bit more...
