Our kids asked for Play Station 2's this year and I did not know they were redesigning them and NO PLAY STATION 2"s can be found ANYWHERE!!!! We have had all our family members in other States looking, as well as on the internet...I have even e-mailed the Company.....What the heck is Santa to do? Any suggestions?

Another good source for finding any item, the best price for it, and where to buy it is Shopping.com. Here's the link: http://www.shopping.com/

Woo hoo Suits! I'm so glad that you were able to get it! Seems like there's always that one gift Santa has trouble finding, leading to that last minute Christmas panic.

I don't know if you've got one where you live, Suits, but the best store for all things PlayStation (here, at least) is Electronics Boutique. My BF has a 'frequent gamer' card that allows him to get 10% all game purchases, and can also trade in the games he's done with for new (pre-played) ones. If your kids are good gamers, or if they'll be finishing and/or getting bored of games quickly, it's definately worth it to be allowed to exchange the games you're done with for new ones.

AND... I know you're a smart woman but I am constantly baffled at how often I hear parents saying that they bought a game for their kids only to find that it let them kill cops and hire hookers, etc. TO ALL PARENTS OF KIDS WITH GAMES: Please, please, please, check the rating on the front of the game. Ratings on games work the same as movies.

Thanks, Karen. We check the game ratings very carefully.
We have a Game Stop and Hyper-Tech Stores that trade games....it is great because our kids get bored as soon as they beat the game.
