Buy a PS2 and "Lego Batman" for $150 Today

Here's a scenario I'd like for you to think over. Has your PS2 broken and you yearn for a machine that can still play your massive pile of PS2 games? I suppose you could get a PS3, but actually, most models don't support backwards compatibility with your PS2 games anymore. Weird, right?

Well, starting today, you can buy a PS2 with a fresh copy of Lego Batman for the almost-too-low price of $150.

It also ships with a copy of Justice League: The New Frontier on DVD. And if you're apprehensive about picking it up because of a lack of games, I wouldn't worry. There are multiple advantages to having a cheap PS2. For example, most multi-platform games are released on PS2 (like the other Lego games or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed). Plus, classic PS2 games like Shadow of the Colossus or one of the first two Guitar Hero games are only $20. So honestly, you're winning for not having a PS3 and spending $60 per game. Anybody sold? No? OK, then go buy a PS3.
