Now that it's $100, is it worth getting a PS2 if I already have an Xbox 360?

I've been happy with my 360 for a while now but I already own every game I want that's released. Is it worth it to buy a PS2 if for no other reason then the back catalogue?

First of all, I would say YES, it is very much worth it! Think of it like this, $100 couldn't buy you two new XBox360 games, but it can get you a console that has a TON of great games, and GAMES are still being made for it! That right there shows you how great the PS2 is! It is the ONLY last gen console still having games produced on! If you decide to go with a PS3, you should make sure it is backwards compatable, but the 60gig isn't the only backward compatable PS3... The 80gig is backward compatable as well, as long as you get an older model... I am pretty sure that all the new PS3's do not have backward compatability.

If you haven't owned a PS2 before then I wouldn't bother. You would be much better off putting that money towards a preowned 60GB PS3 that does have backwards compatibility (no other models have it). That way you get the best of both worlds - the ability to play all the PS2 games you fancy, as well as being able to play current gen exclusives or games you don't want on 360.Avenger1324

I recommend getting the ps2. There are just so many excellent games for it, it's well worth investing in the console. Plus, many of the games you can find cheap these days.

just like a handheld everyone has to have one so get it

If you have never owned a PS2 before, than you need to get one now, especially with the falling pricetag.

Trust me, you'll be missing out on an excellent collection of games if you don't get one.

Everybody should have a PS2. Way too many games that are worth owning.

if i were you i would sell my xbox and get 2 ps2

just like a handheld everyone has to have one so get it

just buy the 60 gig ps3 ull get a ps1 ps2 and ps3 in all in 1 system with blue ray player and the ps3 OWNZZAZZZ so definatley

Defiantly, the back catalouge is so worth it.

Sounds like I'll be dropping $100 come this weekend. Thanks for the quick and helpful responses everyone!

I guess im the only one that thinks $100 for 8 year oldtechnology is a rippoff. Look on Craigslist if you want a PS2 ive seen slims with games for under $100

well guess what,,,

the older consoles still play remotely different games ,, if your a gamer, youll get one, , ,

this is really funny because this gen i got a wii but guess what i got a gc in 2006 lol, ,

i got a 360 in 2006 i also got a new xbox in 06 to replace one that went bad,

also , even though i own a bc 60 gb ps3 i my self 6 months prior to , well today i bought a ps2 slim 9000 series-im really ticked though because it is now 99 dollars,

lol,

so ya get one, , (although theres a reason i bought my ps2, i have got rock band, i always have problems with getting the instruments to work right on the ps3 because, well it tells me theres no mic some times, and it works some times,, so i have to use a ps2 ,, stupid aint it)

I was in almost the same situation as you. I already owned the x360 and then bought the PS2. I don't regret this choice. The PS2 has a ton of great games. The only drawback is that they should be played on a SD TV. The graphics are terrible on HDTV.
