PS2 or PS3?
Which do you prefer (or want)?
Personally, I want a PS2 (I haven't got one yet, I was waiting until I got enough games (I have the important ones now) to make buying one worthwhile (and the PS3 drives the price down)). To me, the PS3 is overpriced. Who's going to pay $1000 dollars just to play games on a console. And it's not like XBox really need to take more of the market (I hate XBox, I think the console market belongs to Playstation and Dreamcast, Microsoft are muscling in where they don't belong). I read a review that said the gameplay performance is jumpy. It also said that the real reason for the release of the Playstation3 is to get some device called a BluRay (whatever that is, something to do with tv or dvds, I think (don't know)) into people's homes. I don't believe consoles should have multi-purpose. You buy them to play games, not do anything else. Maybe they should release a version optimized for gameplay (without the Blu-Ray, which is probably where most of that $1000 is going). |

I would probably get a PS3 seen as you can play PS3, PS1 and PS2 games. Although I'd just go with an Xbox 360 and a PS2 to be honest.

i've heard ps3 isn't really backwards compatible so i'd say a ps2
i have one and it's great !! i also think the blu-ray should be removed from the ps3 as it's never gonna be the standard type anyway and it's making the console really expensive. |

Ps3 is backwords compatiable, the games from the first two just look horriable on the Ps3's graphics.
Ps2=lower price, more of a game counsel (which would be the only reason I bought one, I don't need another DVD player, or a slideshow option, or another boombox, or any of that extra crap), tons of game options. If sony is smart, they will keep makeing games for the Ps2, because if they just stop making Ps2 all together their going to lose money fast, as no parent in their right mind will buy a Ps3 for their kid if they didn't have the money for it. Thats the bases of all the gameing industries money that a lot of them seem to be forgeting. They seem to think the majority of their audience is adults. |

the only problem i have with ps3 tis that they've taken out the emotion engine wich makes most ps2 games unplayable on the ps3 and that it's way overpriced,comes with a stupid blu-ray no one wants.
take out the blu-ray would be better to cut costs of production. also here in Europe the are the highest price in the world and they actually took out the backwards compatible emotion engine,wich was intented to cut their production costs and to compensate their disapointing sales on wich they are losing allot of money. i actually feel ripped off by them as a European. they will now also come without the emotion engine in other continents too but still,it's very unfair !! i'm gonna wait till it's price is much lower. as i'd said before : go for a ps2 - there are millions of games for it,especially platinum editions are a nice price for a game,and it's much cheaper and you don't get screwed over with the high price (it doesn't even cost them a quarter of the price to make them). |

Depends really on how much money you want to spend. If you're a serious gamer, and buy lots of new games regularly, you'll start kicking yourself in the ass for not buying a PS3 in a year or so, but if you're not, I don't think the PS3 has enough advantages over the PS2 if one compares the prices.

Can the people who want afford the $1000 price tag?

depends really
some people (like me) saved up well in advance, and are able to afford one some people however rely too heavily on their parents to buy such products, i equate this to being too lazy to get job,and not understanding the value of money saving up for such an item is an achievement IMO |
