Get a ps2, its the best choice. Don't listen to all that, oh its a year old who would be dumb enough to buy a system that is a year old bs. If I recall correctly the playstation came out far before N64 and playstation was better and still is the better system to this date in terms of games. Who cares about system specs, look at the freaking games. If you want to worry about system specs go buy a computer.
Hope my .02 cents helped.
 
Don't get a PS2. Sony overpromised and underdelivered on the system. Most 3rd-party games will be cross-platform, and as time goes on, developers will like the easier to develop for systems more and more. Sony's first party games will not be as strong as the other two consoles, and even Square won't be exclusive to PS2 in the near future.

If you need good games right this second go ahead and drop over $300 on the inferior hardware. Otherwise get one of the other two.
 
PS2 if buying right now.....no contest.
Why?
Gt3
Ace Combat 4
Devil May Cry
Grand Theft Auto 3
FFX @ the End of December.
MGS2
too many to list really.
So what if its a year old?Its also backward compatible and there are tons of used games already to be had for cheap.
Specs mean really nothing if the games u want to play arent on the system.

Tho the best value is the DC @ 49.99 right now.Pick up a ps2 and one of those.....youll be a very happy camper.
 
as i have stated before
PS2 > GCN > XBOX

devil may cry
mgs 2 (i cant stop playing this one) (x box in a year hehe)
GTA3 (xbox also)
GT3
FFX
tekken 4 !
Virtua fighter 4!
SSX tricky 🙂 (out for GCN too though)
Soul Calibur 2 ( will be cross platform)


imo SH 2 isnt very good did not play it very much but maybe it gets better, i prolly dont play it very much since i have DMC and MGS2 and tricky to keep me occupied

ps2 is very good i might get a cube since it is so cheap and i know i'll want to play metroid prime 🙂 but if i had to pick absolutely 1 console it would be the PS2
