As you can see, the price has gone up (?!WHAT?!) to an astonishing $314.99! Why would Sony jack the prices up like that if the limited edition consoles are simply new colors with no additional technical features?

Stupid Sony really has some dumb marketing strategies! Good thing I stuck with Nintendo all these years; at least Nintendo offers their products at AFFORDABLE prices.

It's because Sony knows they're losing the console war and they're trying to rake in some quick cash and they think the mass public is fool enough to think colored PS2s are special somehow.

"Thus has it ever been! Thus shall it ever be!"
