Granddad: Now does it come with the crack I'd need so smoke to spend that much money, or is that sold separately?

$1500? They never cost that much, unless there was a shortage due to high demand, and I don’t remember that being the case. Then again I was kid so I didn’t have to worry about money.

Took 10 seconds to find this:
Directly after its release, it was difficult to find PS2 units on retailer shelves16 due to manufacturing delays.17 Another option was purchasing the console online through auction websites such as eBay, where people paid over a thousand dollars for the console.18
from the wiki.
I DO remember this.
