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.

I suppose your intentions are ok, but PS3 is out of the question. In fact, if I have the money for a 360, it will be the cheapest model. The discussion is not PS3 vs 360, is PS2 vs 360

 

Then as I said,  If money is a big priority.   I would get a PS2 without hesitation.  It's bread and butter is RPGs and action games.  It provides you a larger libary of games, a cheaper entry point, cheaper games and good enough visuals. Plus familiarity with the PS1 controller (Assuming you liked it) will carry over onto the PS2.
