How many shops have you been in this Christmas and seen PS2 games being sold for £29.99 or less. Comet, Dixons, PC World they are all at it and the reason they can afford to sell PS2 games at that price is the fact they can offset the price against the many more sales they will get for that particular title.
Then ask yourself how many Xbox and GC titles you see for these sort of prices Sony make gaming affordable hell they even have Platinium games that are £20 or 2 of £30 in a lot of places.

Top Score you annoying little leper.
Go away, no one cares anymore.
Oh and i'd pay £2 extra to get better graphics, smoother framerates and in some cases new levels and multiplayer modes.
No run along little boy, I think I hear the sunshine bus playing your tune.

Well after they were fined £100 million you'd think they'll bring prices down more in keeping with other prices. Especially since they're producing games on CD's instead of cartridge.

Your point being?
Here we go then SR's PS2 games are cheaper.
GC XBox PS2
Hitman2 £37.99 £34.99
CM3 £38.49 £33.99
TS2 £37.99 £37.99 £36.99
Tiger Woods 03 £39.99 £38.99
MOH £39.99 £39.99 £37.99
So there you have it and that is from this site not too mention the
retail stores doing PS2 games for £29.99 or less.
Don't see why I should pay more for what is essentially a PS2 ported game for my Xbox or GC do you.

£50 for Zelda (dont forget the bonus disc)! Mind U, we know what Nintendo are like.
Just like those DVD movies which they put out for £22 - well OTT.

Good point. I don't even know what the argument was about - I just felt like sticking my oar in...

What? So what? I don't care about how much the games are although everyone likes a bargain. All I care about are the actual games. Yes, I was one of those who paid £60 for SF2 for the SNES and thought nothing of it. Why? Because I was willing to pay over the odds for a great game. So, if you really want a game, you'd pay over the odds for it. Hands up who would pay £50 for Zelda plus the bonus disc if they could get an English version right now?

Ok, where to start? How many eight player games are out there? How many? Sorry, I didn't catch that? Split the screen into eight? I don't think so.
Ahh, yes, the ill-fated link cable. Of course, you've got to lug your PS2/X-BOX round to your mate's house AND make sure he has another TV. How many games support this option? Not that many, as far as I know. Oh, BTW, you need to have two X-BOX owners to link up two machines! Not very likely is it?
