I bought the Playstation 2 for several reasons.
1. I like Sony.
2. I have a PS1 and have played all the great games on it.
3. Im 25 years old, I dont play mario anymore.
Why did you go for the PS2?
-
I got a Playstation 2 cuz I like Sony systems. I did not buy it for the DVD player. I just got one DVD movie. I know that the PS2 games will look even better and better as time goes by..........And I\'m 32 years old and i still like to play video games.:D

peer pressure.You people here on this forum made me buy it.Damn you people.
Nah kidding :D the real reason is that I was one of the first to get a psx (I bought mine in England,it hadn\'t even been released here in Iceland,keep in mind that this was shortly after the launch).
And I\'ve been wanting to get a PS.2 since I heard the first rumors.

I´ve been wainting for the PS2 since 1997.

:thepimp: Cost. Even though they were ungodly expensive in november last year (700 CDN, about 400 US), I managed to get two, sold the second for 600US on Ebay, so it paid for half of mine.
:cool: I needed a DVD player, and it works fine for me.
:bounce: I\'ve regreted not owning a PSone for a long time. This was a chance to not only get a PS2, but go back and buy all sorts of games I\'ve wanted.
:nerd: I didnt\' like a lot of the initial release games, but I knew that like the PSone the PS2\'s games would get infinitely better. I\'m really looking forward to GT3, FFX, and Unreal2, for instance.
:eyemouth: It was coming out waaaay ahead of the GC and Xbox (both of which I doubt I\'ll be able to afford, they probably won\'t have as much supply/demand problems right before xmas)
:wedge: I like sony. Their products last. Walkman (11 years, many, many drops, I finnaly busted it when I unscrewed the case), Diskman (6 years, one of the first ESPs 3 sec, still works great), 3 headphones (don\'t laugh, 5-2-1 years, all great), and a TV that looks as good as when we got it (4 years ago).

to piss off DC GC and XBox fans
-
- I like my PSX
- It\'s backward compatible (even though I own imports and CDRs)
- It plays DVDs
- DOA 2

:laughing:
I got it because I like waiting in line for 8 hours. (remembering the night before launch)

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

I bought my PS2 because:
1. I knew it would have great games!
2. I knew it would have quality games!
3. I like Sony!
4. I loved my PSX (still do..)

Top five reasons:
5. My Compaq 386 doesn\'t support PS/2 mouse connectors. I thought I was buying an adapter.
4. That empty gap in the entertainment center was driving me crazy.
3. Wanted something to impress my 9 year old nephew. Now I actually have something none of his friends have.
2. Wanted to buy one before the recession hits. That way I\'ll have something to do while I\'m looking for work.
1. Counter-Strike was getting boring.
EmperorRob, why does everyone like DOA2 so much? I just got it (at a reduced price) and I\'m so disappointed. Tekken Tag Tournament is a much better game. I honestly feel I could write a sizable post on what\'s wrong with DOA2HC, but I figured the game\'s been around a while and everyone\'s probably been over that already. Do you think I should bother?

I like games. PS2 has exclusive high quality games and some enhanced ports. \'Nuff said.
-
Well Coredweller, you probably just like different aspects of fighting games than I do. I like
- throws
- countering system
- graphics (which in my opinion are better on DOA2)
- freedom to speed-up/slow-down your combo attacks
- interactive backgrounds like level changing or wall attacks
- I also prefer the tag mode in DOA2 to TTT
- speed
- And I should be shot if I don\'t mention the chicks
Tekken is good, but it always seemed more like a slow fighter to me, at least compared to DOA2.
There isn\'t much debate on which is better; just a lot of the "which one should I buy" question. In the end it\'s just a matter of taste. If you\'ve played one Tekken then you know how they all play.

The reason I got a playstation two was so I can watch dvd porn on it. Why else would I get one? ...oh yah I forgot, I guess another reason would be the awesome games too. :D
-
My main reason was for its MANY exclusive games. Not port over games that the Xbox is getting.PS2 still has its own exclusives.
-
i got PS2 because i\'m a former disgruntle Sega supporter who let me down again and again,plus Nintendo dissed Sony\'s cd add-on so i must diss all new N-products....oh yeah i forget that\'s not me,those are other people,whew..i thought those were my real reasons i got it :D actually i\'m the typical person who got one,PSX did well for me (backwards compatibility lets me relive old games),i owned past Sony products that lasted a long time,most game developers i like are continuing with PS2 and i like hype :D
added seconds later: i didn\'t have a dvd player either (i lived in the dark ages before this came :) )
-
1. The Hype
2. Metal Gear 2 Sons Of Liberty
3. Gran Tourismo 3
-
You knew it was going to be good no matter what I mean GT3, thats just one awesome game of many MGS2 demo should be counted as a game in itself
-
1. To throw it out of the tall building
2. use it for weapon
3. it can shoot disc
4. it have dvd
5. it can shock people
6.it can overheat which mean is fun.
7.to set it on fire.
8.to run over it with my car
I have lot more.
-
I was sick of my N64 and wanted some new challenges. And the DVD was a selling point for me.

I got it because I previously owned a PlayStation and figured this one would be just as good and better. When I first heard about it I was excited...really excited. It gave me that kid-waiting-in-angst-on-Christmas-Eve kind of feeling... ya know the feeling. The first games I heard and saw were Dark Cloud (absolutely gorgeous) and early Gran Turismo 2000 (Now Gran Turismo A-spec) screens and movies. I saw the amazing Gran Turismo girl animation where every strand of her hair was rendered and swaying in real-time. I gasped at the the Duck-In-Water simulation that, every time I think about it, has surpassed anything the Xbox has shown (so far anyways). Early movies of The Bouncer made me cry in happiness that from here on, graphics will only live to amaze and bring joy and creativeness into our imaginations. Oh...my gosh...why, do you say, did I buy a PlayStation 2? Because, my friend, no matter what you tell me...to me the PlayStation 2 is the future of games. I know that Xbox is so much more powerful, but the PS2 is also powerful, and I\'m not going to abandon my favorite company. I lost hope for Nintendo since the N64. The future and potential of the PlayStation 2 is so amazing, we haven\'t even seen or scratched the surface of what this dream-machine can really do. That\'s all I have to say. My opinions...so don\'t hassle me...:)
~Peace Out~

because i only buy successful systems..........
-
well i bought the ps2 because i love the psx, i wanted to play ssx so bad, and to play of course ffx and mgs2. :D
-
I heard it was a top of the line toaster oven. Boy do I feel ripped off now....
-
- Because I loved Playstation and thought Playstation 2 could only be better
- Hype
- Graphical Powers - wich surpass my computer one-handedly :)
- To spend my hard-saved money into something
- To annoy my parents
- To have something to show to my friends
- To watch DVD-movies
- M.G.S. 2
- Wipeout Fusion
- Because I had waited for a new console for 5 years
- Because I passed DC after long and hard battles between the \'I will buy\' and \'I won\'t buy\' -decisions in my mind
- Because I didn\'t have the nerves to wait for GC and X-box :) ( just kidding )
those are the main reasons why I bought Ps2. And of course the hype around these forums had something to do with it - and all those great games ( last month I was finally convinced for the last time that this was the right decision to ME ). It is already clear that Playstation 2 has a future - and I wouldn\'t mind if it isn\'t succesful, and I wouldn\'t mind even if some MS and N-fans would bash me because I bought Ps2 - because at least I have some classic and very good games to play :)

ha! thats why i got mine j/k
i got mine cause i heard about the ps2 a year beofr it was released arond the time the DC was released, everyone had there dc, and i said, in time will have the superior console andi waited 1 year trying to get moe news about it, then a few months before it came out i told my friend im gonna get a PS2, iv waited for 2 long to let it pass me by, and he said, well im gonna get an X Box, i heard its gonna be way better than the PS2, i didnt even know that an X Box was but i didnt are, so on the day of the release i woke up at around 3:00 am and stood in line out side oof K mart cause i worked there and i knew we were getting 30 and since i had my discount it would have cost 270, well we only got 23 and the person in front of me got the last one :(, so i had to run my ass to Best Buy and wait in line for 3 more hours but i got mine, went home, poped TTT in and melted

i bought a ps2 because i knew there would be some cool games for it,i like what sony puts out,and the hype that was around it
-
for the games I cannot play on any other platform. And Ethugg Why would you hate gaming on a PC? No offence but I like your posts its hard to place you feeling like this. Nevertheless, its all about gaming pure gaming I could care less if the box was the size of a large TV with ten wires or as small as a tea cup with one as long as I am entertained. Its hard to believe I bought a gaming console and was so excited about a console that could only play one game and that game was Pong. Look where we are now. Amazing.

A lot of reasons :
1. PSOne gave me two years of happy gaming
2. A lot of games I like were coming to PS2 : Resident evil, MGS of course, Silent Hill...and so on.
It seems that Sony\'s games are just the games I\'m looking for.
3. Of course, the numerous publishers who support Sony
4. The DVD capacity, was a nice added feature
5. As someone said, Sony is a durable brand ; I own some active speakers from Sony, I bought them in 88 ;
they\'re still working fine...
6. It was Christmas !!!
-
I bought the PS2 so I can have a DVD player and gaming console.
I use both features evenly.
-
I bought it because i\'m a stupid moron,
that does not know what to do with his time.
i paid about $800 with 3 games for it.
gee, i\'m not even rich, how crazy is that !
=) I love the potential for it,
=( I hate its current games, except for ZOE, DOA2, TTT, and MGS2.
I hope the games will pick up, and i really hope
the graphics will pickup too, cause they are just
a bit better then a Fast PC with a GF3 board.
-
I never had PS1 and regret getting N64 instead
I would kill to play TimeSplitters
I love Madden games
DVD increased my intrest extremley since i dont have a dvd player
Coredweller... what is your name on Counter-Strike, I love that game, too bad i have to go to my neighbors to play it since my comp blows ass.... My name is LiLKuBBs
-
I got one because It was hyped like crazy, but I would have got one anyways if was not hyped. I was sick and tired of psx graphics and when dc came I was so excited. I expected so much better graphics than what I saw on dreamcast, but anyways ps2 still is a good system. Hype or not I still would have bought it.
A few ppl said because they like sony products. Those walkmans last a long time I droped mind at least a dozen times and broke the lid and the darn thing still works. Drop a psx and the darn thing broke on me . And lately tekken tag keeps freezing.
-
I got mine due to ..........
[list=1]
- For the line up of games.
- Backwords compatibility.

- I already have a PSX and loved that.
- To Keep my hard earnd cash away from Microsoft j/k ;).
