So spinning on the trainer yesterday in the game room, I booted up the Playstation 2 and played some old school NCAA Football 2003 (I think it was ‘03). Anyway, only minutes into playing, my console locked up (right after the first Tar Heel touchdown!). The last time I was on the bike, playiing Amplitude or Frequency, the console locked up. That being said, those are the only two times I’ve played that old console in a long time. In fact, its only real usage has been when we have friends are over and we’ve played some Karaoke Revolution.

No more. I traded in all my PS2 games today, along with the consoles and every single accessory. It was quite a transaction for Game Stop with a ton of games, a console, controllers and miscellaneous accessories. I’ve gotta say, their Edge card really helps up the amount you get for trade-ins (and buying used stuff there – 10% more either way). On top of the normal extra bucks that Edge card gives you, they had an extra 30% on trade-ins today.
