Hi, I\'m thinking of buying a new console and had my eyes on the ps2. Therefore I have some questions I hope you can answer :)
- Is the ps2 maxed out? By that I mean; Are the games that has been released already as good as you can get it on a ps2?
- When will the ps3 be released? Should I wait for that instead?
- Seeing as both nintendo and microsoft has lowered the prices on their consoles will sony do the same with the ps2?
-
PS3 is looking to be released 2008 or 2009
it could be later due to the sucess ofthe PS2 (seeing that there is well over 35 Million world wide and the fact that PS2 weekly sales are out selling X box 40 to 1 in Japan)
Also there is strong rumours that a price Drop will be released around E3.
and no the PS2 is Far from begin Maxed out !
-
Ok, thanks :)
-
I am thinking more like 2006, but thats still way off.
-
I think that you should buy the PS2 now!! Unless you want to wait untill who knows when for PS3...anyway, by that time you have a PS3 you will have children bugging you to play and that means less play time for you:p
-
Sony were planning on supporting the PS2 for 10 years initially, hence why the architecture is as versitile as it is.. but i think they have reconsidered and are planning for a 2006 release of the PS3..
and waiting for the PS3 is just.. dont do it :)
-
yeah ps2, ps3 wont be out for ages, and they aint got no where near what the ps2 can do
-
PS2 wont be maxed out until the release of the PS3.

you dont know this :) hell, it might never be maxed out..
might

I suggest forgetting about the PS2 and just get an Xbox.
-
Thanks for the advise, but I just don\'t like the xbox :P
-
Yeah Get the Ps2. Alot of good games that u probably havent played yet are on the greatest hits line. I bought ATV off road furry. 19.99 There are alot of good games on the market so u wont have to wait like alot of us did for the big itles such as MGS2, GT3, GTA3, and FFX. Now is the time to buy.
hope u stick around. These forums are alot of fun

Just beware of the Samwise welcome groping.

The PS2 is far from maxxed out....
We will see some significant inprovements to top games from top developers throughout the life of the PS2 (lesser games will still not match up, but since the PS2 is easily the #1 console lesser developers will pump out crap and still make money just be smart and research the games before you buy)
PS3 will not be around till 2006 so unless you want to wait for
4 1/2 years I suggest grabbing a PS2 now
-
Why wait for something that may infact never eventuate? Get a pS2 for the present being then wait for whatever comes next.

i have just bought a ps2 then i heard about ps3, sony just rip you off left, right, and centre

Hey DUMBA$$ the so called PS3 won\'t be out for a long time, so your comments are useless to this conversation.

20 dollars says this guy doesn\'t even own a PS2 but an X-box/Gamecube just trying to add in his very useless 2 cents. Now now, its time to go back to teamXbox.com

Yes we have all been ripped off by Sony
If only we knew the PS3 would be released in 2006 we would\'ve waited
but wait I knew the PS3 was being released in 2006 before I even bought a PS2
DO ya wanna know how ????
Well do ya ????
Common _ucking sense, the very basic form of intelligence. Every succesful console has had a sequel 5- 7 years after its release

as opposed to nintendo letting you play snes games on their 64.. and using the snes controllers for Goldeneye was GREAT..
:rolleyes:

Man 1st off all whats with the super nerds thing ??
If you really feel this way why are your posting on a game forum
2nd, 90% of PS1 games work on the PS2, and PS1 mem cards work with PS1 games
3rd no other machine has ever offered backwards compatibility, so Sony is a champion here
4th... If you want the real facts get them from credible sources not morons workng at the local gamestore or your super nerd friends
5th Sony does not rip you off, but if you feel that way stand up for yourself and boycott Sony. Or better yet compare SOny to the other consoles and tell me how they rip you off. Be very detailed in your knoledge

COUGH**ATARI**COUGH

I heard word of PS2 before I bought PSONE, did that ruin anything for me. NOPE, still was an awesome buy with great games.
-
Will PS3 run PS1 and PS2 games, though?

If memory serves me right it was the 7800 that would play 2600 games.
-
Yes, indeedy. Atari did it back in the golden days of gaming, so Sony didn\'t bring any evolution to gaming by offering that in the PS2.
As for this whole topic. I need to say one thing... Idiotic. .
If you are willing to wait for the PS3 , which is at least another two years off, then I am positive that you don\'t really even want to play games and by the time the PS3 does come out, you will have either lost complete interest in buying one or you will be wondering if you should wait for a PS4 or whatever Sony ends up calling it.

ps3 dude is coming out in 2004 dont worry it wont be 2008 or 2009 sony even announced it in 2004 but get ps2 it is great

You are wrong for a multiple of reasons starting with the fact you have no credible links to your information
there\'s no way Sony would kill themselves financially by rushing out another console when they haven\'t maximized profits from the PS2
the PS2 is sellign way to good for Sony to feel they have to rlease another machine in 2004
-
Yer all fools and been had by SONY.
We all knows that the PS50 will be coming out in the year 2050. So save your money now and don\'t buy any of the PS2 to PS49.
So when your\'re nearly in your grave, you will have your last laugh and play your PS50 for 1 minute before you kick the bucket and they close the coffin with your PS50 in it....and you save about (47 X 300 dollars for each gen of console).
great(permanent) retirement plan, eh??
btw, since u know u\'ll be eating breakfast,lunch and dinner tomorrow, you might as well save your money and stop eating them today...but since you know you\'ll be eating again the day after tomorrow, you might as well DON\'T EAT AT ALL.
:D

Ddaryl is right. Another reason is that the CELL CPU which is confirmed (I think?) to be the new chip for PS3 will be finished in that year and won\'t be able to go into mass production because of a few reasons, such as costs and time.
PS3 will most likely be out the earliest in 2005, yet I think March 2006 is much more likely. I doubt it will be much later also, since Microsoft and Nintendo will be out with something aswell.
