Which system should I get? Or should I get neither? Or both? There are advantages to both and I cannot decide...
Pros and cons of PS3
Pro
-Blu ray player would go great with me HDTV
-Remote play ect would go great with my PSP
-backwards compatibilty would be fantastic since I never had a PS2 (only had enough money to get GC) and there are 20 plus games I would like to buy for PS2
-reliable hardware
-lots of good games coming out in the future that I would like ex LittleBigPlanet, Disgaea 3, White Knight Chronicles, FF13, ect...
-free online
-lots of good games coming out this fall (disagaea 3, LBP ect)
cons
-kinda pricey
-all my friends that have next gen consoles (about 1/2 of them) have either Wii or 360, so the free online would be meaningless for multiplayer gaming (though has other useful functions)
-most of the games I want are for PS2 or arn't out yet and I am uncertain how BC works for PS3- did it get taken out?
-blu ray movies are pretty expensive
360
pro
-lots and lots of great games out RIGHT NOW- eternal sonata, blue dragon, eternall oddesy, halo 3, viva pinata, mass effect, Ninja Gaiden 2 ect
-many of my friends have a 360 so I could play with them
-I really like the controller (more than PS3 controller)
-Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts is on 360 and I LOVE BK
-Good downloadable games like geometry wars: retro eveolved and Pac man championship edition
-lots of good games coming out this fall (BK:N and B, Fable 2, ect)
cons
-kinda pricey
-future uncertain (in terms of a giant supply of good games coming to PS3 instead of 360, not in terms of console failing)
-extremly unreliable- though a 3 year warranty makes this an annoyance rather than a death sentence
-if PS3 manages to steal 360's future JRPGS I will be left with primarily a shooterbox which isn't what I am interested in (though some more are coming ex. infinite undiscovery)
-HD DVD=epic failure
Alternativly, I could buy a new PS2 for $130 and then just play games for systems I have, which would more than cover me. (I would have PSP, PS2, Wii, DS) For example, for PS2 alone I want:
Kingdom Hearts
Disgaea 2
La Pucelle Tactics
Phantom Brave
Kingdom Hearts 2
Final Fantasy 10
Final Fantasy 11
Final Fantasy 12
God of War
God of War 2
Ratchet and Clank
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando
Ratchet and Clank: up your arsenal
Jak and Daxter- Precursor Legacy
Jak 2
Jak 3
Dragon Quest 8: Journey of the cursed king
Final Fantasy X-2
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
Odin Sphere
Ape Escape 2
Star Ocean: Till the end of time
Wild Arms 3
Wild Arms alter code F
Wild Arms 4
Wild Arms 5
Tales of the Abyss
Ape Escape 3
Tales of Legendia
Star Wars battlefront
Star Wars battlefront 2
Okami
Devil May Cry
Shadow of the colossus
Devil May Cry 2
Devil May Cry 3
We Love Katamari
Beyond Good and Evil
..So, which should I buy? Or should I hold off until the fall for a potential price cut? Or should I buy neither and save my money to buy the 30 plus PSP games I want to get (got PSP recently) and the DS and Wii games I am interested in?
