Buying a PS3?

[Rip the Jacker]

Heh, I think it's time to get me a PS2... I've never had one. I think I missed out on a ton of games.

The good thing is, it'll be way cheaper.

I bought a PS2 about 1.5yr ago..don't really play it much -- mostly GT4 when I do play.

I thought I hated the PS2 before I got one; now I realize that all those really good RPGs were real.

I have yet to play any PS2 RPGs...should I start, or will I become addicted?

Metal Gear Solid is definitely enjoyable. FF7 was the most appealing out of the series in my opinion.

Try Chrono Trigger, Xenogear, and Final Fantasy 7. You'll definitely get some good game time in, though I can't say you won't get addicted.

Gotta play Metal Gear Solid and FF. MGS3 is amazing, one of my favorite games of all time. I think FFX is overrated, but XII is looking really good.

I'd love to play Final Fantasy 7 if it didn't cost $50 used.

No need to buy a PS2 to play PS1 games. Any modern PC can emulate the PS1 just fine.

emu*coughcoughcough* er, what was that? I'm LATE? I see... it.

Um, anyway... even the cheesy stereotypical japanese RPGs are fun to play on PS2. Star Ocean, FFX (which I liked quite a bit), Xenosaga, etc etc.

There is simply such a large selection of great games on the PS2 that it's pretty easy to justify a purchase.
