I'll never buy it, should have been something more accessible and fun. I have to say the PS2 is/was one of the best consoles I've ever had to play on, at that time I thought Sony had it in the bag.

I bought 4 memory cards for the ps1 for 5 bucks brand new years ago. Hell, with this economy, the end couldn't come fast enough! The end is always the best time to buy stuff on the cheap.

Dual Shocks for $15, double memory card packs for $24. The end really is nigh. My local Wal-Mart is starting to put PS2 accessories on clearance.

I haven't seen anywhere besides Gamestop have actual good PS2 games in stock for a while. Most stores like Best Buy just have shovelware crap. And yes, I'm also worried about Sakura Wars having enough space on store shelves... Even if they did bring it over here, most retailers wouldn't stock it.

That sucks. I know you can download the mini expansions on the ps2 already, but this sets a precedent for them cutting off NA ps2 support, and I don't like it.

It would have been cool if it were some sort of FF13 spinoff or something like that. It's kinda sad that the final Squenix game on PS2 is a MMO.
