Yet again $99 PS2 confirmed on VG chartz.

If i say you dont NEED 7.1 surround sound to enjoy a console,but it adds imersive experence but other wise its negligible.

Also finding a backwards comp PS3 would be tricky,and there sure to cost alot.

 

360 is dirt cheap,its future proof unlike the PS2 which is on its last year,360 is the way to go.

I can't even read a complete thought in that mess of words.  You win.  I just don't care enough to continue.

 

Or you dont have anything to go against what i just said.

 

WiiR2Harcore there you go 360 is future proof,has alot of good games out and even more coming out!

No it's just an exercise in futility to go back and forth with someone can't even put together a complete thought.   And as far as the 360 being 'future proof' ?   I  know that I won't be watching DVDs three years from now.  I guess you will.  Lol.

360 arcade trumps ps2 for newer games.. but ps2 has so many AAA hits u wont be disappointed..



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

owner of : atari 2600, commodore 64, NES,gameboy,atari lynx, genesis, saturn,neogeo,DC,PS2,GC,X360, Wii

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

Taking all things into account, you'll probably be more satisfied with the ps2 in all aspects except shooters.

It depends what you want. You already have a Wii and a pretty sweet game collection, so I'm not sure what to recommend to you. The PS2 has a much wider, cheaper and better game library, but it is not getting many new games anymore. The 360 has better shooters, but the PS2 wins in terms of RPG's

What sort of games would you be wanting to play?

I prefer adventure and RPGS over shooters... Buyt I prefer the shooters on the PC or the Wii

 

 

PS2, no brainer.

Want adventure? get Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, God of War 1&2, Ratchet, Silent Hill 2 (can probably be played on xbox360), and MGS3.

Want RPG? get tales of symphonia, FF10, FF10-2, FF12, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Persona 3 &4, etc.

There are plenty of classics that I've yet to name, but I strongly doubt the 360 (or another console this gen) will ever match depth of quality games on the PS2 in terms of both the RPG and Adventure genres.

If you want to be "future proof" aswell as play PS2 games, I'd personally try and get a hold of a B/C PS3.

One of my friends got one off Ebay for around $400 (plus shipping) only to find a "buy now" BC PS3 80gb for 350 (with free shipping a day later.

Dude, is this a joke?
The Ps2 offers the best library of games if you put it against PSWii60, why would it fail against one of them alone?
This wouldn't be a fair question even if you included online, but the fact that you said you prefer RPG and adventure games just makes me think you might be stealth trolling.



Quem disse que a boca é tua?

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

PS2 might have more AAA titles, but it's still a last gen console. Last gen vs. this gen, you choose OP. I'd go for the 360 personally.

Cause games are STILL being made for it,not just shovel ware but REAL AAA Quality games,you cant defend your arguement that PS2 is a better buy than 360.

True, but like I've said the PS2 doesn't have a future.

If someone had come around in 2002 and asked should I get a PS2 or a PS you would tell them the PS1 because it has the larger library of games and completely ignore the future of the console.

Don't get me wrong, I love the PS2 library and do think it is incredibly, but you can't deny that the PS2 era is simply over.  If you buy a PS2 as your only current gaming system, you're trapped with nowhere to grow.  If you buy a 360 (or PS3 or Wii) it is still a current system and he still has plenty of options.
