graphics don't matter
online doesn't matter
no HDTV
prefer adventure and RPGs
Cheap system very cheap games
you won't go wrong with the PS2 tbh
and since you have a PC i'm guessing you already have all the good HD multiplatform games that are on the 360 (COD - Fallout - even L4D and Mass Effect)
so unless you really want to play Halo or Gears I guess you are not in a rush to get a 360 now
that's how I see it anyway |
No, my PC is very standard. But I agree with you about the rest...
|
Get a backwards compatible PS3 and buy PS2 games. Then you're HD ready but in no dire need for the newest games.
|
Then good luck finding one of those.
Not to mention that a PS2+360 combo is far cheaper than a used PS3 with BC.
|
Really? 'far' cheaper? Hardly. By the time you get PS2 accessories and possible 360 accessories you are easily spending as much or more. Plus you get more franchises that remained on Playstation with a PS3 than you would with a 360. And, it's all self contained in one unit. No swapping.
|
What accessories? No need for Wifi,No need for a hard drive,the best JRPG on a next gen console.
|
Certainly debatable, and really no RPG this generation compares to many of the RPGs in the PS2 generation.
|
What accessories tho?
|
I was talking about PS2 accessories. Memory cards. Possible extra controllers.
|
How much do you think memory cards are? You can get a 64MB for a little over $7 and that's all you ever need.
As for extra controllers, I guess I was unaware of the PS3 that came with more than controller...
And I'm not saying the PS2 library is bad or that it suddenly turned bad when this gen started, it's just he has options with the 360 and no options with the PS2.
|
My point was pretty simple. If he wants RPGs and action games? That is PS2's bread and butter. Arguably the best library of games available? Has an SDTV and doesn't play games online? PS2 is a great choice and probably the most preferable choice. Between all systems. Although at 130 dollars plus a memory card and an extra controller. He is looking at a decent entry point regardless.
He might be wiser to just dive and get a backwards compatible PS3 and have everything included for him. Especially if he isn't a big online gamer, It's probably a better future investment anyways. No sense in paying for Xbox Live if you're a very occassional online gamer but it's a nice option to have.
I believe the PS2s library (currently) is superior to anything that the 360 or PS3 provide. PS3 does contain some of the better franchises from PS2 however that the 360 doesn't. So it might be a better decision for him to take that plunge and go for an HD console that allows him to play all the PS2 games as well.

If he wants RPG is debatable,action games are debateable.
You dont need an HD TV to enjoy better looking graphics,and he will eventually upgrade to an HD TV.
You dont have to pay for Xbox Live,you can still download and buy stuff.
Also Xbox has Arcade games some good games he might miss or want to play,also achievements.
Also everything i just said ^ can be applied to PS3,but the PS3 b/c cost too much.
