croker1

id be interested to hear if anyone is like myself and still just has a PS2 and not a PS3.... money dont grow on trees yano!!

I doubt it, nearly everyone on this forum has a PS3 (or some with PSP's)... but you may find somebody who has just a PS2 (but then they will probably have an Xbox 360 or a Wii as well...)

Do you still play your PS2 regulary and buy games for it...?

Playstation2 and the first Psp (the phat)

Retr0gamer

Have a PS2 and PS3 but the PS2 gets used all the time and the PS3 is gathering dust. Still have a whole heap of quality titles on my PS2 that need finishing.

I have the old fat PS2 and a PS3, I really only use the PS2 as a DVD player, i've put some mileage up on the old dear.

Have a slim PS2 I'd love to get a PS3 but don't play then enough to justify it. It'd be used for a few weeks and them just get turned on the odd time after that.

croker1

Far too many excellent games to get rid of the PS2. Especially since my PS3 is still not backwards compatible.

Still kind of amazed at the PS2's continued high sales.

I don't have a PS2 and I apologise if this is a little OT, but I'm looking to get one, probably second hand. Were there any specific models less reliable than others? Like is the Slim one more reliable than the older one?

IsMiseConor

Get the slim one, you can pick one up second hand in gamestop for €50 with an extra controller.

My friend got one there last week and they had loads of them (in gamestop swords anyway)

Kersmash

Yep! I've a PS1, Broken fat PS2, Slim PS2, PSP-2000, but alas no PS3. Don't have a 360 either. So I don't have any next gen consol;es really.Wich I'd a PS3.Broke though.Still read this forum religiously however.

The newer the better. The modelss until near the end of the PS2's life were notoriously unreliable with the lasers failing all the time. Better off getting a slimline one or if you want to use the hard disk exploit get the last model PS2 phat.

A slimline PS2, have not played in ages, and a DS, thats it

Gummy Panda

Still play my slim ps2 for SMT games like Retro. Need to replace the screen i have as it has no component and the image through a VGA box isn't great. Though the screen is 1080p and if the software back compat comes to ps3 i won't need to

Josey Wales

I have the old style fat PS2. It is in the attic now but gets taken out for Christmas for some Buzz!

Luap

Ya I have the fat ps2, I also have a 60gb ps3 but have to revert back to my ps2 even though I have backwards compatibility.My ps3 doesnt seem to play my ps2 games very well:mad:When I play Scarface the game isn't smooth and it jumps all the time, can anyone tell me how to fix this, because its doing my head in when I have go back to my dusty ps2 to play my classics:(

Nerin

Gta San ANdreas, Devil May Cry,soul calibur 3 and mortal kombat Armageddon.
Special personal points to Godzilla and Monster Hunter(the very first one), but Shadow of the Colossus is best.

TinCool

I have a chipped phat PS2, although it's under the bed gathering dust. PS3 gets used almost daily mostly for watching stuff I download off the tinternet. Haven't played a game on it for a couple of months now. In fact, I haven't played much of anything lately.

Luckily, my PS3 is backwards compatible. I still regularly play some PS2 and PS1 games (well, only Metal Gear Solid for PS1).

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, Devil May Cry 3, SSX 3 and Tricky still get the odd playthrough every now and again

Linguo

Bf and I both have fat PS2's, it's still a brilliant console it's such a shame they're not making the range of games for it anymore. I don't want to throw it out cause it's still brilliant and seems such a waste!

TanG411

i have a fat PS2 that I'm trying to sell :pac:. it's because my PS3 is backwards compatible so there's no need for it.

Trying to get rid of a few PS2 games as well :rolleyes:

I'm addicted to metal gear solid 1 and 2. The only one I need is 3 and I can't find it anywhere. :pac:

Penn

Find it, order it online if you have to. Arguably the best in the series. Well, to me it is anyway. Works on the PS3 as well.

bungler

i have the slim ps2, i will never get rid of it love it to bits, even have 2 brand new ones in the box to keep for years.

premier manager 97 what a game the new ones are terrible

Glico Man

i used to up until 2 weeks ago when i gave it to my dad cos he was on about getting himself a ps3 and i thought why bother, you dont need one.

i havent seen him in days.

he's now hooked on MGS, LMA, Pro Evo and Final Fantasy.

like son like father.....

^^^^^ thats how it goes right????

I've just got a PS2 and ain't got a next gen. The slim is great, it plays Metal Gear Solid VR Missions which the original PS2 didn't. It also doesn't make noise and eat up like the original. The only thing is , with the "blue" CDrom discs it makes a lot of noise cause they seem to spin a lot faster.

I have the slim ps2, I still use it. I have a ps3, I was given it by a friend, he said I could keep it but one day I'll give it back. so technically speaking i don't own it. I've had it for about a year and a half now, I only brought 4 games for it. I didn't see the point buying anymore incase they ask for it back.
