UK Supermarket ASDA (owned by US chain Walmart) will be selling Playstation2 consoles tomorrow (Thursday 22 Feb) for only £50 which is half the recommended retail price.
The details of the offer are still unclear, but what is known is that the deal will be limited to a set number of consoles in the chain's 316 stores. The units will go on sale when Asda's electrical department opens tomorrow morning – 7.30am in most stores.
One Asda store assistant told MCV: "Yes, we will be selling PS2s for 50 quid tomorrow morning. But I'd get here as early as you can if I were you. We're expecting a massive response once word gets out – and we've only got a certain number available."
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
From hunting ghosts to fighting it out in gladiatorial arenas, there are many underrated PS2 games you should check out in the goldmine.
Kudos for putting Kill.Switch and Chao Legion on the list. I love those games and agree they're underrated. Kill.Switch is one of my fav shooters on the PS2.
BUY IT
And get a copy of God of War 2.
Best deal ever. Certainly compared to a 600 dollar PS3 with no great AAA games. Go get that PS2 tomorrow right away
and then THREE come along at once!
In the last few days:
Xbox 360 Premium £199
Xbox 360 Core £149
PS2 £50
Looks like we've never had it so good - finally the UK gets a good deal! There's no excuse now not to be in the Sony AND Microsoft camps!
Although in all fairness when the PS3 is released next month £50 should be the normal price for the PS2 in the same way GAME sell Xbox's for £50 at the moment.
Oh and TheMART, add Resident Evil 4, Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus to God of War and how can anyone resist?!
They are almost in the price range of a trendy door stop!
keep trying to move those lamestation 2s !!!
God knows they're having a nightmare with those paystation 3s!!!
