Although Sony has kept mum on the subject, online reports have suggested that a new model of the PlayStation 2 could be hitting the US in 2008 with a sub-$100 USD price tag.
According to the games industry trade paper MCV, this third generation PS2 will be even more compact than the current Slim models and "see the power brick moved inside the casing."
Most reports have the console retailing for $99 USD in North America and £75 overseas when it hits at some point during 2008.
Sony announced last week that it hoped to sell 12 million more PS2s worldwide in the five months ending March 2008 and this new third gen console would certainly help.
