wish I brought one from Japan on business trip but I think the box is bit too big and I know missus won't like it that much... besides recordng function won't work over here anyway... oh well...
ahh dammit another item i will see on ebay in a few years and wonder why i dont have one brand new sealed to sell to people
I believe it will either go down or stay where it is... remember half of the machine is useless outside Japan and just for PS2 side you can get normal PS2 at much cheaper price... and I don't think it was produced in such limited quantity to classified as rare...
i thinks theyed just lower the price to clear out stock, its one of those ideas that just wasnt well thought out( i heard that half of it was due to poor orginization on how the unit was developed) whats even worse it didnt even deliver half of what it was suppose to, and i highly doubt it will get a us release at this point.
It was a bloody stupid idea anyway. Serves them right for thinking they can take over ever maerket with their PlayStation brand. Yakumo
Yeah, it was such a bad idea it was almost Sega-esque! ^_^ I can't see it going up too much in price - as others said, most the functions it has which actually make it different from the normal PS2 are useless outside of Japan - did the TV recording dealy only work with certain digital cable/satellite services or analogue stuff, or both?
the psx was a really dumb idea, yeah. and if it didn't succeded in japan, you can be sure it won't be released anywhere else. japan seems to be the testing country for strange or daring devices in video game, if the 64dd had more success in japan, it would have been released here. and fr the price, i think it will drop. 1000$ is far too much and the concept will evolve as well with the technology in the future. It will be a piece of collection, yes, but i doubt people would like to pay more than 1000$ for it when they will be able to purchase one more powerfull for less.
Apparently the PSX is not dead. http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/home...y-psx-rises-from-grave-it-wasnt-in-034169.php
i think in a few years 5 or 10 maybe you will be paying rediculus amounts of money for boxed ones at least 2-3 thousend dollar
I doub it, a few hundred dollars at most. Nintendo's Q GameCube will be more expensive in time (fully boxed, unmodified).
I think that the PSOne is dead also, to be perfectly honest. I know this isn't quite related, but not a single store I've asked (and I've asked at every Ebgames, Gamestop, and Best Buy for the last month) reports having gotten a single unit of PSOne hardware in recently. I think it might be out of production. I can't for the life of me find a sealed PSOne (not the combo) anywhere....
Really? Coolness. I've got one right near my house. I'm really itchin' to get a sealed PSOne brand new at $50 before they go the way of the dinosaur. I know if I don't get one now, I'll regret it later.
I couldn't find any, everywhere I asked in that mall said they haven't had them for months. I never had an early PSX, the first one I got was just before the Dual Shock system came out, but it has the single output port rather than multiple AV jacks. Still has a parallel port on it though.
