Thread: Gamers:Playstation 2,still a good buy???

I have both a PS2 and an Xbox 360, and I still play on my PS2 almost more than my XB360.

All the games you mentioned are in my opinion the best games on PS2. And they've got pretty good graphics considering the hardware. Well, atleast when it comes to DMC 3, MGS 3 and God of War.

San Andreas alone should give you many hours of fun if you're into the GTA games. So yeah, I would go for it

My point wasn't that something outdated can't be fun, but that spending money on it is roughly equivalent to throwing it out the window. It's like buying a new Windows XP for a new computer: What's the point?

Also, GTA4 will piss all over SA.

All in all, this thread is completely pointless. The question isn't specific enough. "Still a good buy?". It's the exact system as when it came out so why would it be any worse? It's not like a fruit that gets old and wrinkly when you forget about it. Of course the PS2 is a decent console, but everything's outdated and the graphics suck. If you're on a very tight budget or if you are a collector of consoles, buy the thing. If you want to play more complex and fun recent games, buy something new instead.

Sorry I wasn't specific enough,I meant is it still a good buy?
in reference to are they going to phase out the system
soon,and will new games still be available for it,I am on a
limited budget.

Playstation 2,still a good buy???

Yes.

Last I checked, it was even outselling all the new consoles

I bought a cheap PS2 when I wasn't sure if I wanted to get back into consoles with the new ones. I'm glad I did. While I'll probably get a nextgen console in a while, it turns out I have a year or two of games to get through on the PS2 still, meaning PS3 will be cheap when I get it too. I think there's something to be said about being slightly behind on the gaming console hardware. For one thing, you know which one to buy cause it's matured by the time the decision comes... And all the hardware kinks are worked out. Not to mention it's way cheaper hehe.

I got 2 PS2s. Just because its "outdated", doesn't mean it doesn't have good games. I have the regular nintendo still, a sega, a gameboy, and an N64. Each console has its great games.

If theres games you like for the system, go with it. I'm not buying a playstation 3 nor X-Box 360 until the price drops a bit more.

At one point I had two PSOnes. I've never worked out quite how that happened. It just appeared.
