Yeah, so your saying that it would be best to get a PS2 this summer, game the carp outa it (im going to have 6 plus hours of free time each day if I manage to not get a job and only mow a couple lawns a week) and then get an aracde 360 this fall when the price drops (hopefully?)
Is the 360 arcade able to go online and HDTV compatible?

Yes and yes, on the 360 front.

As for the people saying to get an 80gb PS3: Consider that for the price of an 80gb PS3 and one game ($560), you can get a PS2 ($130) and $430 worth of games. And, seeing as most of the PS2's back catalog is heavily discounted, that $430 will amount to a LOT of games. As in, probably 40 or so.

@ eliasg: HDMI cables are like $5 + shipping on Newegg. It's not like they're a great expense.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
