My kids really want a PS2 for Christmas. They don't have any type of gaming system, and our oldest is almost 13. They play at their friends' houses and Dh and I have always thought this was a good plan...we don't believe in lots of screen time...but, as they get older, and the sleepovers become bigger and happen more often, we're thinking that a gaming system in the family room would be okay.
With all the new systems available right before Christmas, one would assume that PS2 would be easy to find. Everywhere I go seems to be sold out! Oh, well, 20 shopping days left. I really need to get a list going and get moving! I feel waaaay behind this year.

I wouldn't give up just yet though. I'd keep checking around. By now, it should be quite possible to snag one. I also agree to check EB games and Gamestop, and see if you can't score a decent used one.
Good luck.

Jan, we have a one hour 'screen time' limit per child at our house during the week. Screen time includes t.v., game boy, and computer...playstation will be added in. Well, at first we'll let them play as much as they want. We're hoping for a bleary eyed Christmas!

EB Games is a good bet, too, if you have one around...
