Hey guys. I was recently thinking if i should buy a brand new ps2. The ps3 is way out of my budget so that is sccratched off. I love playing ps1 and ps2 games so thats a plus... Oh and are ps2 games gonna stop manufaturing soon or something?

They won't stop manufacturing for a long time, so yes get a ps2. Many great games to be bought on it.

doesnt matter if they stop making them, you have a library of thousands of games already. youll never be able to get them all anyway. it has so many great games its worth it. the only downfall of the system is its weak online support. some games arent even playable anymore without the online aspect.

Definitely, in my opinion it's the best system ever made period and it is a tragedy if you consider yourself a gamer and have never owned a ps2

Yes. Very cheap. IF you buy from gamestop you can get the newest one for 80 bucks with two high quality controllers. Then the games are like 2-5 bucks each at Gamestop. :D Very, very good buy.

no lol its a tragedy if you were born around snes nes life time and never had one of those, that is the start of true gaming

but ya get a ps2,

heck you can get a xbox or gc as well lol, youll have thousands of games to choose from and come dirt cheap , heck when most people pay 60 for a game like rainbow six vegas i waited got it for 8 dollars due to a sale gs was running

it pays to wait same for vegas 2 while rushers payed 60 i payed 30 half the price buyng in on release

theres only a few times where i hit games on release when its nintendo made actually because i grew up with them

not sony or ms sure theres a few id grab day one only because i just got the console,

but other then that, theres no reason to rush ,

ps2 even when dead has games more games then current gen besides wii which is just behind ps2 due to the fact its last gen technology wii has over 1000 games already out

also due to vc

and wii ware

but ya

compared to ps3 360 ps2 has more games, plus you also have access to ps1 game library cant do all this with current model ps3s

only ones made 06-mid 07

if you got a 08 model it only plays ps1 and ps3s

I owned an Xbox and it finally broke after 5 years of use (I had it since 2001). Anyways, I missed a lot of the games I had for it and decided to get a PS2 slim since they no longer make the Xbox. I just got it a little over a month ago and I love it. The number on it is SCPH-90001 CB and it was very resonble priced and there are many great games. The games are also very cheap used and offor many hours of fun. The system is also very small, light and portable. The only con is that it has no hard drive.

I highly recomend geting a PS2.

ps2 is really worth it. especially if your short on money. buuuuuuuut, let me give you something to think about before you buy a ps2...

if you buy a ps2. its around a hundred bucks + brand new. then theres a lot of games. and i mean alot. so you gonna spend some money, more or less to play those cool games. plus a memory card of course. so what does this all mean... you will be spending alot of money buying good games... and if you add all those...guess what? you will realize later that you have already spend alot of money. trust me on this. i have spend alot trying to play "catch up" on all those old great games that i missed. so what does this add up...yeah i should have save my money and bought a next gen console. lol. i already spend alot of money buying ps2 games.

alot of great games on the ps2. to name a few: mgs essential collection, devil may cry trilogy, onimusha trilogy, dbz games, naruto games, gta trilogy, persona 3 fes, persona 4, final fantasy x, x-2, 12, shadow hearts trilogy (sold separately), street fighter alpha and anniversary, guilty gear accent core, shadow of colussus, onimusha dawn of dreams, god of war 1, 2, resident evil collection, disgaea 1, 2, some NIS rpg, srpg, (phantom brave, makai kingdom etc), some EA games if you like sports, kingdom hearts series (there are 3 of them), dragon quest 8, rogue galaxy, alot of cool/average rpgs like xenosaga, dark cloud 2, wild arms series, tales of series...

theres alot, some i dont remember anymore. but still alot... and will cause you money. lol. so decide carefully before you go spending your cash. lol.

It depends on if you want it new or used. I got a new one for just a little over 100, saved only a miniumal amount from the sugested retail price. You just have to look around for a deal.

Yes get a PS2. Even if they do stop making games soon you still have plenty of the games that are already made to purchase. They're also very reasonably priced.

Playstation 2 is always a solid investment...

Also, don't worry about them making games. They stopped making games for the NES sometime around 94 (I think?) but you can still find those everywhere.

YES! Ps2's are super cheap now and you can get games for it for like 2 to 15 bucks each which is practically a steal, it plays dvds, ps1 games, and cds also so theres a few more pluses, and the system is very durable even the slim ps2 I've had my slim ps2 since the year they came out and it works perfect still, and my fat ps2 works awesome still also, to be honest in my opinion the Ps2 is the best system ever.

You can buy the PS2 console and it's is an alternaitve for people who can't afford the PS3 consoles and the expensive PS3 games. There are some popular games such as Need For Speed : Undercover published in PS2 version for gamers who didn't have a PS3 and/or the PC specifications does not meet requirements for this game. Also, PS2 supports DVD+-R/RW and you can make a backup when your PS2 games can't read when playing the game title with frequently. For example, I have Gran theft auto: san andreas, need for speed : carbon and gran turismo 4. These games that i have been played with frequently. When these games played for more times, PS2 console can't read my favorite game. So i need to copy these games using the cd burner software called ImgBurn (can download at www.softpedia.com and it is freeware) and I started to copy the PS2 games and after that, these games can be played and i would say OK.
