Is it too late to buy a PS2?


Recommended Posts

Alrite blubsh i didnt no it was tht big! Anyway i dnt really care i was jus givin the person my view. lol. Im fine with my ps2 at the mo. Have they released any info on the xbox 2?

xbox 2 will have ATI graphics card, and a powerpc chip designed by IBM specificly for the xbox.. all there really is so far on it.. (oh yeah, and some insider people are giving rumors that it will be a lot smaller then it is now, and still play xbox 1 games, even though the arch. of the processor is changeing...) im guessing there going to have a custom x86 instruction set built into the PPC chip to emulate the x86 xbox version better on the PPC version (that is if they actaully do go with PPC for the chip)

while your at it pick up a voodoo graphics card and pentium2

PS2 has had its day, why people buy old junk who knows

PS2 = HYPE

its all hype anyway, no good games, bad graphics and cheaply made

hehe.. i have a ps2 and xbox... after playing xbox for a year now, ps2's graphics look so blocky and crappy to me...

could easily say the same about the xbox apart from the graphics

idiot of the day.....

Damn!

The Guy asked if it was too late to get one!

Ignore the fanboys!

Just look at it this way, so far the PS2 has the best game YOU like, so you should get it!

And LiGhTfast fast, you claim that there is no good games for the PS2, but just from that statement you discredit yourself and prove that you biased and a true fanboy and quick look at your Avatar and sig comfirms it and not to mention constantly encourge not to get PS2 in other topics too!

If the Xbox has the Games you like Then Get the Xbox

If the PS2 has the Games you like Then Get the PS2

Simble as that!

PS.

the xbox has the better Graphics but its not so much better that as people are saying, they make seem as if it the PS1 vs Super Nintendo in Graphics!

totally agree with you there mate, i'm not a fanboy of either console, i think both are excellent, both offer a good line up of games (most of my taste being ps2 games)

it's more like comparing the ps1 to the n64

So wrong. Look, the PS2's graphics are old and dated, but it's not a hyped machine. It's a GOOD machine, but it's getting long in the tooth.

Um, the Xbox has the capability of outputting 1080i HDTV. So, in a sense, it does do better graphics. Unfortunately, most people are using composite (not component) cables so everything looks like crap no matter what system you own since it all has to come out as 480i.

Try Terminator 3 at 720p and tell me that the PS2 version looks just as good.

And, as always:

Ok, it depends on the games.

I just got some Component Cables for my PS2 today, and it makes a huge difference. I'd deffinatly get the component cables if you have HDTV or a TV with Component in. I don't have HDTV and it still makes a huge difference.

I know the Xbox has better Graphics i'm not denying that and belive me i like my xbox as much as my PS2, but i'm just pointing out that some people make seem as if there is Great between the two Graphics and only some Games support 1080i and on that list you provided about 3-4!

I like xbox and I will stick with it no matter what. Sometime I thought about getting ps2 but when I play my game on xbox I forget about ps2. That's just me I go for the graphic's and xbox live. It's your dicission in the end.

smartest comment i have heard in the thread ;)

sorry, but i was totally disapointed at the game, the story is so childish/girlish, i regret buying it, doesn't deserve the FF name to be honest

Same. it wasnt horrible, but it didnt live up to the name. It's lying on my shelf 30% done, right next to FF8.

Get the ps2. Final Fantasy X-2.

ffx2 is the most rediculous excuse for a final fantasy game i've ever seen. worse than ff11 :x

i hate the way square is going with them now, they used to be awesome, but now it seems final fantasy is going down the drain... :cry:

Oh, it's not THAT bad....it's just different. True that it's not a 'real' FF game, but.......

i was thinkin of getting a ps2 just for FFX and FFX-2.... but then i thought thats pretty silly... but I dunno.. I wanna play the games grrr

I'm getting PS2 just for the Square Enix games.

With FFXII and Kingdom Hearts 2 just around the corner and a possible FFVII-2, hell why not?

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
