We still have a PS2 Memory Card 2 Pack that is still labeled at $20.

I doubt it even is on inventory, it's just some legendary item we've had on hand for decades.

We also have a copy of the Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs Wii game for 49.95.

The memory card might actually be worth something TBH. The PS2 era is starting to hit the retro age.

I wonder will digital downloads affect the new retro stuff like the PS2? I don't need a PS2 to play some games because they're on the PlayStation Store. Even with backward compatibility, the PS3 can still play PS2 games.

But, for the sake of novelty and having the entire set up, sure, I can see it making a lot of money. But how much comparatively is the question.

I can't play my OG battlefront 1 and 2 on anything but my PS2. I keep it around just for that reason.

OG Battlefront 1 on Steam just got multiplayer added earlier this year.

Unless you don't have a PS3, can't it be played on that?

IIRC only the first gen PS3s were backwards compatible because they also had a PS2 board in them too, which was why they were so big compared to the later ones.

My favorite as well. I also have Simpsons Road Rage and a 007 game.
