Sony PS2 and the White Christmas

It may be the last generation console, but PlayStation still proves to be very popular among gamers. This Christmas, Sony is launching a new white PlayStation 2 instead of the conventional black.

The PS2 has an installed base of more than 117 million worldwide with 44 million in North America alone. A further 10 million PlayStation 2 units are expected to be sold worldwide by the end of March 2008.

With such a huge base of gamers and its vast collection of games title, the PlayStation 2 is indeed a cash cow for Sony, it really makes me wonder why would a person choose PS2 instead of Nintendo Wii? It may be the number of games title available for PS2 or is it the mindset that was so clearly imprint in each and everyone of us that PlayStation is the sole gaming console?

PS2 box stuffed with £44,000

July 19, 2007 · Filed Under Silicon Valley · Comment 

A young man bit for a PS2 on ebay and when the parcel arrived he got a shock of his lifetime, instead of a PS2, the box is stuffed with £44,000. That is about $90,378 and the best part is the boy turned the money over to the police.

There can only be 2 explanation for their action, they are from a rich family or they could be a morally or religious family, perhaps they could be both rich and religious family. Hmm… that is a lot of money to hand over to the police. You know, this could be a good way to promote ebay, perhaps ebay should join this little ride and start sending cash load of money to those lucky bidders.

What are you guys waiting for? get your PS2 from ebay now!
