And let me add that if I'm already going to pay about 200-300 more for a
ps2 (about how much you'll pay on ebay), there's no way some one could get
me to buy their package deal. You can go on ebay, pay 200-300 more for
just the basic console, and spend the 200-300 you'd pay extra for this
guy's system on games and stuff you choose yourself (you're not saving any
money when you're paying same markup from this guy's thing as you wold on
a regular console).

Let me put it this way.
300 retail for ps2
500-600 on ebay, so about 200-300 more
500 for the amazon deal which already is a rip off (you pay more than the
invidual components together)
800 for this guy's deal
That's 300-200 more than just buying the console. 300 would more than
cover for what this guy's offering you even if you want it, 200 might be
reasonable for what he's giving if you want everything he's offering. But
that is *if* you want all that he's offering. So you're better off looking
on ebay to get a console and use the extra 200-300 to get what you want.
