Now it's been a looooooong ass time since I had a PS2 but if I remember correctly anything ending with 3001 is good. But now a days I don't think it really matters much haha.

Damn.

I should know this!

Do a search on Google for PS2 failures on the laser/reader. I bought one on RS only to find out that the laser was defective and I had to send it to Sony Canada to get it replaced.

I dont know what model mine is, but its a fat 1. I had it repaired at Sony under warrenty and then i used it for like 10 hours tops after that. I have gran turismo 3 & 4 + some other games if you want to pick it up for $60.

Isnt this a myth? There were rumours of price drop for the longest time but it never happened

People still buy ps2? Great, i have a chance of selling mine. I can only get $20 credit from EB
