I sold my PS2 a long time ago because I was so crazy about the next gen. Now that I have a next gen console, I'm regretting selling my PS2 because I never finished the games I wanted to. Should I go ahead and buy a PS2 again, or wait till the end of the year and get a PS3?

I'll be getting a PS3 at the end of the year anyways, it's just that I want to enjoy the PS2 games right now.

If you want to enjoy the PS2 games now, get a PS2 now. You can get a brand new shiny PS2 slim for $129 -- heck, just 2 next-gen games (at $60 a pop) cost you almost that much, and the PS2 games will be a lot cheaper to get and enjoy in the meantime. I have a PS3 also, but I can get 3-4 PS2 games for what I'm paying for each PS3 game, and the PS2 games are still usually a lot more fun.

Life is short. Enjoy yourself.

if you cant wait, it would probably be easy to buy a used ps2 for quite cheap... and your supposed to be able to play ps2 games on the ps3, so those games bought for the ps2 arent wasted even if you resell the ps2 at year end when you get your shiny new ps3

Depends where you live. If you live in Europe then buying a PS3 probably isnt the best idea. Ive heard the backwards compatible aspect to the system isnt the best.

I would recommend getting the PS2 back in your life.  Year end is quite far and you could have finished a lot of games during that time.  Plus you can sell your ps2 again after your done with it.  I just dont think you should wait especially when u can get good ps2 games for $10 bucks each on ebay.  I mean even GOW2 is under $40 bucks.  happy gaming instead of waiting, then u might be disappointed.

well i was going to say, that once you get a ps3 you can still play all your ps2 games on it.  But if your waiting until the end of the year to get a ps3, you better go ahead and get a ps2 because you need something to play games on.  If you aint got any other systems to play definately get the ps2 now, its only like 150 dollars now or somewhere around there.  Can't beat that price for ps2 quality you know.

Hmm, just looked at your profile, you should go head and wait on that ps2, having 360 in all, save that 150 for a ps2 and put it towards the ps3.

If you really want a PS2 now, then get a real cheap second hand one. Theres no point splashing out on a new PS2 when the PS3 is already out.

Since the PS3 retro-compatibility is being so limited and have graphical problems, it´s still worth buying a PS2 (because it´s so cheap and the retro compatibility with PSone games and it´s graphical improvements worth it).
