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?

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
