Pink PS2 FTW

Peanut · 08-21-2006, 07:48 PM

Sooo...is Sony trying to reach out to the poor chicks who haven't been able to afford a PS2 up until now? Maybe the ones that were turned off by the black colour? A bit late or what?

... Oookay? This is olmost as stupid of a move as the Fruit N64 models. Olmost.

Props on the fact that that's the same pink Nintendo used on this beauty.

Uhuh...I can't help but ask who exactly this is being marketed to? I'm guessing girls who like video games probably already own a PS2...And no guy's gonna get caught buying this thing at EB Games, lest he desire a nice smack in the head.

Wrong on both accounts. I'd buy one (in fact, I'll probably get one) and if anyone made a joke about, I'd have to question THEIR sexuality, since it is just a color after all. try not being so ignorant in the future kthx.

Edit: In fact, I need to tell my girlfriend about this. I am pretty sure her black one will soon be sold in favor of that. She owns a Pink DS and is getting a Pink Razr. She's totally a girl after my heart.

I fail to see what made those colors stupid. I keep my Jungle Green N64 hooked up, and the black one from '97 in storage. Funky colors rule.

Thank you. I'm buying one, and I'm going to save some funds aside (probobly after Wii) to get a pink DS Lite to go with my Pearl White one. Pink rules.

I just don't understand why they did this NOW?

I have nothing against pink. I own more pink shirts than any other colour, but why now? Who are they trying to market to? The vast majority of PS2 owners are thugs who think pink = butt secks! Honestly, I think dudes obsessed with pink, just because they think it makes them "unique", are just as bad as guys who think pink is gay.

I'll probably pick up a slim PS2 when they drop to $99, but it'll be the black model. I'd rather save all my money for the upcoming gaming orgy that is the holiday season. I don't know if my bank account will ever recover.

I don't know if any of our bankrolls will recover. I said that last year, but that turned out differently. This year....Christ.

And I just like pink cuz it looks cool. Don't know why. Just does.

Wasn't the colors, they were pretty spiffy, but the timing.

Seriously... I could see if PS2 sales were suffering but they're not. Hell, most households in Japan have 3-4 systems.

The PS2 is still outselling XBOX 360 in the US so I guess they are trying to make sure that this won't change for a while? Actually I have no clue.

Wow, chill out dude. It was an attempt at being witty...Or something. I guess the humour was lost on you.

If it's "Witty" you might want to throw some kind of smiley after it.

And if you are going to try apoligizing,

you shouldn't "Roll your eyes",

that's why people never take your apoligies seriously.
