PS2 shortage, where can I get one...

trotter_inc

Anyone know where I can buy one of these in Dublin or Wicklow??

My girlfriends parents told her sister that they'd get her one for xmas - just been into Dixons and Smyths in Liffey and they are both sold out! Rang a few Smyths stores around Dublin and they all seem to be sold out =(

Anyone know any shops that have any in stock??

Cheers!

Try Gamestop or order online.

Wow, 4 years old and still selling out.
I queued for 4 hours the day it came out, to get it.

Is there are Gamestop shop anywhere in the country? Did a Google on it and it just came up with the US website.

I went into Game in Liffey Valley but they had non either.

Jervis street yesterday and they had a load of them behind the counter.
Unless they were just empty boxes?

There's a Gamestop in Henry Street.

Just rang the Jervis Street Smyths - they only have 2 of the older models left - they said they 'might' be getting some of the slim-line models in next week!

For what? So you could play tekken tag tournament. I'm sorry I have to laugh at all the fools who bought a PS2 on release. There was nothing decent on it until GTA3 and Devil May Cry almost a full year later.

Sure let me know if you get any in or hear about anywhere else getting them in.

Cheers!

If you put down a deposit with one of the branches of GAME if the PS2 comes back into stock there'll be one held. A lot of places are starting to run deposit schemes for the PS2.

...won't deliver to Irish Republic. Amazon do, but there's a delivery surcharge. Local Xrtravisions seem to have a good stock of the new slimlines so maybe try there? Also my local PC World (Dundalk) had plenty last w/e.

What can I say, SCE Ireland are good at what they do. There's a reason Ireland holds the second top percentage per head, only being beaten by Japan.

Ok there's no point hiding it any more I'm using them all to build a super computer.

As above try "Xrtravisions", or Argus, a G3 store, or a toy shop (or do toy shops only stock them down here in the bog?)

Well yeah, that and also we wanted it for christmas.

I've rang so many Xtravisions over the last week about getting a PS2 with San Andreas for €190 that I've lost count. No-where seems to have them. It's seriously frustrating me now. :mad:

I work in golden discs and we sold out about 2 days ago. We were told we would get more in before xmas........but we dont believe that. The suppliers dont have any to give any of the shops at the mo

I would have to agree. I mainly got one for Crash Bandicoot and MGS2. But now I have a whole stack of great PS2 games since I bought it.

projectmayhem

i saw quite a few ps2's behind the counter in smyths, dublin (mary street).

S-u-c-c-e-s-s!

Picked the last one up today in Game in Dawson Street. It might well have been Electronics Boutique, but I couldn't care less.

Got GTA:San Andreas aswell.
Goodbye world!

Hey guys!

Great news!! After lots and lots of phone calls I managed to get one in Xtravision on Thomas Street, they have a good few in stock as well - not sure how long they'll last tho.

A mate of mine is trying to get hold of a new PS2 and everywhere he has tried appears to be sold out. Any ideas who still has stock?
Thanks in advance...

jonnybadd

Tesco in clare hall have a few left as of when i was there yesterday, might be worth a shot, everywhere else ive been are sold out.

Boro

Think i saw some in Xtravision Rathmines the other day.

koneko

someone else mentioned Argos, give them a call to see if they have any stock.

Is1ldur

Ends up he is going to Spain this weekend so is gonna pick one up over there. Anyone got one from abroad, what does he need. Probably a new power lead anyhow, but anyone with any experience??

ED-209

I just sold my new one on Ebay this evening for €246 .

Call me gready !!!

Can i ask how ther's a shortage of Ps2 this christmas? Is ti ebcause of the new PS2 slim version? Can't see why people who already have a Ps2 buying this one as well.

C Fodder

There should be planty of them around before christmas. This shortage has happened before especially when the playatation was replaced by the PSOne. Sony haven't told the disties in Ireland when the next shipment is due but word sould be around early next week. Don't panic still 3 weeks to go and this is normal for Sony !!.

Edit: Shortage applies to UK also atm.

steeo

There is no Xtravision on Thomas Street ???

The nearest 1 is in Inchicore
