PS1... Worth the $99?

[TrueBlueLS]

Alright, I know everyone's just going to say, "Why don't you buy a PS2?" I'm just looking for some cheap entertainment right now that isn't going to cost me all that much money. Can anyone give me a good reason why or why not to blow $99? Thanks.

I think the PS2 might have a price drop in a few months. If I were you, I would wait for the price drop.

Get a GBA for $30 cheaper.

 

[TrueBlueLS]

Have you heard what they're going to drop the price to?

<< Get a GBA for $30 cheaper. >>



Thought about that... but I was thinking of putting a LCD screen in my car to play the games on.

 

[b0mbrman]

Find a used one for half the $99

<< Find a used one for half the $99 >>



Exactly.

 

[UberNeuman]

Go to Gamestop.com and get a system for 49.99.

I have a used PS2 from them and haven't had any troubles with it...

If you need cheap gaming. Dreamcast is your best deal for games. Then I'd go with a GBA. Only then would I recommend a PSOne, but only a used PSOne. It's not worth $99 new.

 

[LordMaul]

Nope.

 

[tweakmm]

get a dreamcast and then all the free games you want

 

[b0mbrman]

<< Nope. >>


Not worth $99, no

ps1 is good but 99 is way too much for it, can find them for around 50 online. Also have you considered a dreamcast ? Its a great system.

 

[StageLeft]

no

 

[mithrandir2001]

No, not when you can get the Dreamcast for under $50.

 

[HombrePequeno]

I'd go for a Dreamcast. That'll do a heck of a lot more than the PS1 could ever do.

 

[rudder]

No, not when you can get the Dreamcast for under $50.

And many good games can be had for under $10. (or free if you do that kind of thing.)

 

[AUMM]

another vote for dreamcast, my roomates just picked up 3 new ones for 50 bux a piece

I'd recommend a N64 over a PS1, but a Dreamcast over both.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Dreamcast + Soul Calibur + NFL2K2 + NBA2K2 are teh win, if you will...

Funny thing is that I have a N64... Bad part is that my idiot sister lent it out to a friend who moved to Florida. He left it with his friend here in Michigan and I haven't seen it since. I'd really like to finish my game of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I have a dreamcast and it rocks a PS1 and is even better than a lot of PS2.
If you get a new system get a X-Box.
Dream cast if you want something cheap BUT great.

But the dreamcast is the way to go. I have downloaded about 30 games and burn them to a CD and play just fine. For about $60 I got a used Dreamcast, 2 controllers, a 4 meg memory card, and 30+ games(some of them I have not played more than 5 min's, not enough time )

 

[TrueBlueLS]

Oh yeah... I'd go for Dreamcast considering I bought and returned one last year (big mistake), but it doesn't seem like there's as many games.

Hard to recommend a PS1 when you can get a Dreamcast for less and a Gamecube for only a $100 more.
