Too late for PS2?

Hey guys, Im just curious if you guys think that its a bit too late to buy a PS2. I have a 360, but it seems like the xbox and ps have totally different types of games. Its missing that final fantasy / gow type games that I want to play. And, before you say "if you want to play ff and gow, get a ps2 dummy!", the whole reason im asking is that im afraid of dumping that much money on a console that I will feel is out of date as soon as I open it. *shrug* Im arguing both sides of it in my head right now, but I was hoping for some fresh input. thanks.

Get the PS3, you can play upcoming games and with the backward compatibility you can play all of your PS2 games. If you don't want the PS3 then stick with the PS2 it's only 130$ and there are still more games scheduled to come out.Ragnarok1051

Well, it's certainly not too late to get one. As you say, the PS2 has a very different selection of games than either Xbox -- and a ton more of them, as well. You are correct that you won't be buying a console with cutting edge technology, if that's what's important to you. But you would be buying access to the best selection of quality games in history, including a huge array of great titles that you just can't find anywhere else. And you'd really be doing so at a bargain, at this point -- the console itself is very reasonably priced now, and the games are incredibly inexpensive now for the most part.

Consider what games are available that appeal to you, and think about how many hours/days/weeks/months/years of quality gameplay the PS2 library represents for the price. If you want a console for the technology, there may be better options. But if you want one for the games, you can't go wrong with the PS2. If you've never had one before, you've got a huge amount of great gaming to look forward to, and now is a perfect time to start.
