What one would you rather have and why?
PS2 or PS3?

I'd say the PS2, because (though im older) I still love it, and have all the games I grew up & have learned to love on it =)

I agree with you, the games are fun and simple.

PlayStation 3 of course. Its simply better.

PS2 has funner games.

A launch date PS3, seeing as it has backwards compatibility.

The PS3 has better graphics than the PS2 though.

My PS3 can play PS2 games so haha lol. I have an 80GB, so about 80% of PlayStation 2 games. PlayStation 3 games are better if your a hardcore gamer. Can't wait for MAG on the 26th!

MAG = 256 Players in a single map realistic war game.

Now I vote for the PS3.

Oh come on, this should be obvious to anyone. The PS3 has more processing power, a better graphics processor (which means more polygons which means more realistic appearances), a larger data capacity (the Blu-ray of PS3 holds much more than the DVD's of PS2), and a decent online user interface (the Playstation network is actually usable). Besides which, you face the problem of aging hardware. The PS2 had some great games, I agree. However, with most PS3 models, you can play PS2 games. But you can't play any PS3 games with a PS2. According to the industry, the current generation of consoles is supposed to last another five years. The limitations of the PS2 have been firmly laid out, but the PS3's full potential has not been truly unleashed yet. PS3 seems the obvious choice.

I agree. OLD SCHOOL RULES!

Everyone who's saying PS2 isn't a hardcore gamer Who wants to play those third-party games these days? There's some good PS3 exclusives!

I go for a PS2 because I don't have a PS3.

PS3!!!!!!
