Well, it's the best choice if you haven't owned one for years. I think I got my ps2 at the best time: 6 months before the release of PS3/Wii. Most of the good games were 20$ (FF, Star Ocean, Kingdom Hearts, GTA, GT4), the console was at its current price point and I got to see the release of the last big exclusives (FFXII, Tales of the Abyss). Two years later, we still get big multiplatform titles like some people has said. I still have at least 10 good games to beat. That's the reason people are choosing PS2 right now.
However, since then I bought a Wii and a DS but I'm using the DS in the subway and Wii is such a kick ass console!
I'll buy a PS3 at the end of the generation when the Wii gets stale and it's cheap.
How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
