    New expansion still need to be made available on ps2 there space on the hdd, if SE is worried about the shelf space at the local gamestop, then make the ps2 expansion disc purchasable through internet only. Ps2 users can purchase the disk online and then the problems solved.

    They probably don't want to pay to stamp out thousands of discs that aren't likely to sell....it's basic economics.

    Those PS2 users would need a computer to do that. And you know, they would have to be able to at least run Internet Explorer. But not everyone builds a computer to run Internet Explorer. Shoot.

    The typical internet shopper has a PC/laptop to use. Did you seriously not get that?

    It's not shelf space they are worried about. It's the actual costs involved for making the expansion for NA PS2 users. Any manufacturer that would print the NA discs for PS2 would require a minimum amount of discs to be printed. This is usually in the area of 3,000 to 5,000 discs. Then they have to be distributed etc. I would gather that there are less than 3,000 people who play exclusively on PS2 in the NA region. It doesn't make sense to print 3-5k copies when your only going to sell 1k if they are lucky at most. It just isn't cost effective.
