HUGE PS2 Shortage Confirmed

What a bunch of bullshit. It isn't a shortage, it's a lack of interest.

Woo! i don't care what you guys say, PS2 is gonna rock. The launch line up isn't that impressive (compared to the dreamcast) but hey, they'll have to work for now. And if they all suck, i'll just play Driver or GT2 at 30093244 fps.

We'll, seeing as you tempt the public with the release of the PS2, delay the release, and then don't order enough..

What the fuck would you expect.
IF they didn't hold back the PS2 for US release.. there would be no shortage now. The # of people expecting the PS2 is now greater, and too close to the holiday season.

hahhahaha, stupid ps2. sony blows a well hung mule.

Well I guess all the kiddies with no $$$ to buy a real system can get a PS2. At the same time I think I will take a 1 GHZ Athlon with a GF2U(GF2 if the ultra isn't out) and all the rest of the fixin. Did you say SBlive! Platnum 5.2? I think you did. Wow Keep the Welfare boxes in japan!

Hey check it out, not only am I on a Crapintosh G4, but I'm using NUTSCRAPE! Of course, I get stuck in the ONLY fucking computer lab that uses Macs...

I love college...

Yea, Some games are fun to play on a console I will give you that. But The lack of a network card to hook up to my cable kinda blows. Also I dont get into console RPG's they suck for the most part. The only games I like on consoles are Fighting games. I also like sports games but I have them all for my PC and they are just as good if not better. I mean the DreamCast boasts about network football when PC's have had internet Football games for almost 2 or 3 years now. Big Freaking DEAL!

PSX-2 for me baby! Woo!

Well, not for at least 6 months. Like hell I want to buy one of these first generation models.

Holy Shit!!

BTW many of the premiere launch titles like TTT are being "touched up" for the US release because as we all know the Japanese are the "beta-testers" for most of our games.

As anyone who's taken any intro to economics class (much less an econ major like myself) could tell you, there's something wrong with this picture. On the very first DAY of PS2 availability, we see there's at least 1,000,000 people willing to pay whatever Sony's charging to get one (let's call it $250, cuz I don't know the real figure). Yet, Sony only has 500,000 of the things to sell at that price. Now from the consumer's standpoint (particularly for the ppl who won't get one), the ideal situation would be to just make more of the damned things, and I think that's what Sony would be doing if they could, so let's assume they can't. You're Sony, you've got this HUUUUUUUUGE demand for your product, and can barely meet half of it. What do you do? You raise the price! If Sony jacks the PS2's price up to $350, will a lot of ppl not buy it, at least not on preorder? Of course, that's the Law of Demand at work. The practical question in this particular situation is, will enough people choose to do without so that any of those 500,000 units don't get sold? If not, then do it!

If I was a Sony shareholder, I'd be pissed too, cuz these guys are too stupid to raise the price on the goddamn thing! If the price was increased $100, and every unit still sold, that'd be $50,000,000 (yes, FIFTY MILLION) more in revenue!!!

On the other hand, it sure is nice for consumers that Sony's never thought to hire an economist...

post 100 is mine

god damn piece of shit MGS wont run in 1024 in w2k. correction, anytime i change vid mode it crashes, and then it starts in SW 320x240 safemode

god damnit, i know they hide the sttings in the registry somehwere, it would have no probelm in 1024, its just it crashes whenever it switches any vid mode no matter what!! i just need to tell it 1024 and get to think it didnt crash

there has got to be something in the reg where i tell it what vid mode, but they hid it very well.

Big fucking shocker. They knew all along...I'd say its hype but the stock drop cant be planned. Fuckem, most of those games look like Japcrap anime shit.

i like posting for no reason

this makes little billy want to cry.
