That's right, looks like the PS2 is going to be available throughout the US for 99 dollars. John Koller, director of hardware marketing at Sony US just confirmed the news via PS Blog:
"Hi everyone, the last time you heard from me, I talked about the huge milestone that PlayStation 2 achieved - reaching 50 million units sold in North America. Today I'm excited to talk about another milestone in PlayStation 2's lifespan. For the first time ever, PlayStation 2 will be offered at a price point under $100 (that's $99.99 MSRP, to be exact), starting April 1!"
