Playstation 2 still rockin

I personally have a Playstation 2 at home and even with the new generation of consoles in the market I find the game play still very effective. In past years when you thought about the next generation of gaming you thing about double the expierience. the move from Playstation1 to Ps2 Gameboy-gameboy advance Sp etc. You really see the difference not only in graphics but gameplay alike. But the move from the Ps2 Generation to this next generation isn't that dramatic. The original Xbox also had a hard drive and xbox live alike the new xbox 360 and the ps2 is not that different from the Ps3 either. Which is why Ps2 is still selling more consoles than the PS3 after 8 years(2000-2008). Although the Ps3 does give a new expierience,like wifi, free online service, built in blu-ray and more it doesn't shoutout great buy in my opinion. There are some upsides to having an older console. you cand get older games for under 5.00. When the same new games as the PS3, Xbox 360 come out they are up to 50.00 cheaper on the Ps2.
ex. NBA 2k9- PS2- 19.99 PS3- 59.99. So these great deals can keep your waller heavy. Ofcourse though if you loking to buy a console I wouldn't recommend buying the Playstation2 because you're going to get really pissed when in a year or so they stop making games. But if you have a Playstation 2 already I would wait a little because once they discontinue the playstation 2 in a year or so and focus on the PS3 prices will go down. As what happened with the xbox 360 and xbox.
