PS2 has remained surprisingly cheap over the years. I think the only reason it's so cheap is because the OG PS3s are also a PS2 but with an HDMI port and wireless controllers. And those things keep creeping up in value. Too bad they're so damn unreliable. PS2s on the other hand seem to be rock solid.
