The PS2 is at the perfect price point now for Aussies - and the games are dirt cheap. If I didn't already have one, I would definitely be picking one up. Lots of great games for around the $20 mark - spend $100-$120 on ONE new title (360, Wii, etc..) or buy 5 excellent PS2 titles... not much of a choice.
