Wow, this is my longest thread by far...
Thanks everyone for your ideas which have been extremely helpful.
When I started this thread, I just had realized (you know, planning my budget) that I could, if wanted, buy me a 360 by the begining of the summer and maybe forget about the PS2. But I still had my doubts.
If you haven't played none of the games of ps2 or 360, is a difficult call.
About the future of the PS2 I think we all agree that the machine will be dead pretty soon. But It has NOW easyly more than 20 long AAA games rated with more than 90% in metacritics. Games that REALLY interest me in the genres of action, adventure, racing, RPG, etc. Let's say it takes me like two weeks to finish/get tired of each game (I don't have plenty of time to play), so I think I will be alright until, lets say... summer of 2010.
By then, the 360 may be cheaper and better... Final Fantasy XIII may be out by then. So we will see then what happens...
I like a couple of games on the 360, like Mass Effect and Fable II and shooters like Gears of Wars. But they will be there next year... Luckyly I may get me an HD too, so maybe by chritsmas of 2010 it will be a good time for the 360 and a HD TV.
The argument of the future of the 360 is not bad, but RIGHT NOW, the PS2 has better games FOR ME. Actually, I bought the Wii thinking of the future (BIG MISTAKE SO FAR), comparing it with the PS2, so I thought it would eventually have great games, BUT IT IS TAKING SO LONG THAT IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN. To lesser extent, same thing goes for the 360, lets give it one more year and see what happens...
So the winner is... PS2!
Choosing the PS2 now doesn't mean excluding the 360 in a not so distant future. But if I decide to buy the 360, I am afraid I will never get a PS2...
360? It will still be a great machine in the summer of 2010... HD TV's may be cheaper, RRods may be gone for good (one can dream) and more adventure, action RPGs games would be available for it...
THANKS EVERYONE!
