List of PlayStation 2 budget games[edit]

Delete No reason for this to exist, there is already a List of PlayStation 2 games. TJ Spyke 02:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Budget games isn't defined, but unless there's something non-arbitrary about it, it really just makes this list a shopping list. FrozenPurpleCube 02:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's basically a shopping list. No need for this on Wikipedia. Ceros 02:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article doesn't define what a budget game is. Even if all the above arguments were rendered null and void, it would still have to be deleted for that reason. ςפקι Д Иτς ☺ ☻ 03:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per list already in existence and what defines "budget" --Steve 05:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Obvious POV violation. How one defines what a "budget" game is differs from person to person.--TBCΦtalk? 06:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just a list of names - by themselves meaningless. Cruft. BTLizard 12:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as pointless cruft. --Arnzy (talk · contribs) 12:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In response to the above voters, there's no great mystery about what a budget game is: They're simply games released at a significantly lower price point than "major" games. A typical budget game costs $10-20 when first released, as opposed to $40-50 for a major game. Budget games do not count major games that are discounted after release, and are something of a genre unto themselves. Nor are budget games anything new: they've existed for computers since the early 80s. With all that said, however, this list is a redlink farm at best.

Delete per nom, listcruft. EVula 23:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for being unhelpful and poorly defined. No clear definition has been given (are we talking actual budget re-releases such as the Platinum range, or just games that have slipped to a lower price-point?). Also: budget games where? America? The article doesn't say, though that's what I'd assume. Even if listing all games released on budget labels/re-released onto budget labels were helpful (I don't believe it is), there'd then have to be one for other territories too.
