PS2 A Worthwhile Purchase?

[Zion]

With all of hype & anticipation over now regarding the next generation consoles, where does the PS2 fit in?

With the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360 & Sony PS3 all released now, does the PS2 still warrant a purchase?

With the price for a new one being sold at 150 Euro's and having a huge games catalog available, would some gamers go for a PS2 before a next gen system?

For an extra 100 Euro's a gamer could go out and get a Nintendo Wii + Wii Sports and have a next generation system.

But with popular games like Buzz, Singstar & Guitar Hero, the PS2 still has some family appeal, and also appeals to older and younger gamers alike, especially with games like Bully to entertain.

Previous generation console owners, would you buy a PS2 over a next gen console?

No I would not, I bet they had this debate with Xbox/360.

I think all the gamers got a PS2 already. If there were not people interested on the PS2 before, there will not be people interested on the PS2 now.

ps2 is still outselling every other console except ds lite.

Ive got one anyway, but if i didnt have one Id probably get one cause there's no way im buying a ps3 any time soon, and id get to play Resi 4 timesplitters Farrenhiet etc on it.

I already own a PS2, but if I didn't own one I would buy it when it got cheaper (like $50 or so) because I don't use it very often.

Of course, fans. I'm a Sega fan and I still get more consoles.

I used to have a ps2 ever since its launch date in the uk, I sold it to someone eles along with loads of games. I can not keep everything that I buy in life as wont have the room to store them. Anyway I sold mine for money for next-gen etc... Maybe thats where emulators come in so that you can bring back your old games........
