Sony confirms last week’s breaking news that redesigned PS2 is ready to launch
Following the news that Sony is ready to unleash a redesigned PS2, which was first revealed by MCV last week, SCEE has confirmed to MCV that a European launch in the New Year is on the cards.
Though no news on date or price has yet been announced, MCV understands that despite the fact the machine did not see a drop in price in Japan, a price reduction to $99 could be in the works for the US launch.
It was earlier today confirmed that the machine will arrive in Japan on November 22nd.

I will tell you one thing, MCV have it wrong, there will be no price drop on PS2 in the New Year. SONY have never done this and never will
MCV, drop it, it's unprofessional to speculate like this!

Sony is not giving out a very forward looking vibe with this strategy,another fat free plastic starter,to be followed no doubt with a ps3 diet programme in 18 months,and then a feather lite psx,until the ps4 fat pudding gets us all going again.

If the PS2 is not released in UK before Nov 08, Sony will miss the boat and loose millions of customers to other gaming machines. Why does the UK have to be the poor relation.
