Silver PS2 Announced For North America

31 Oct

Posted by Darren Stevens as Business, Gear

Sony has announced that a limited edition Silver PlayStation 2 will be released in North America for $129. The silver version has already been on the market in Japan and Europe for quite a while. It includes a silver PS2 console and a silver controller, same slim size as the familiar black slim PS2 version. No release date was mentioned.

Sony states in the press release that over 111 million PlayStation 2 consoles have been sold worldwide since 2000, and over 1.12 billion pieces of software have been sold as well. Truly impressive figures, it will be interesting to see how the PS3 performs when it launches in under two weeks (in Japan).

“it will be interesting to see how the PS3 performs when it launches in under two weeks (in Japan).”
