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?

    • As someone who isn't in the EU what is all this gatekeeper stuff about anyways?
    • The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
