Playstation 2 vs. Playstation 3

I hope everyone is well. I not sure if all questions have to be related to the ps2. But here it goes…….I know this may appear to be a crazy question on the surface. I love my ps2. My question is does anyone think that the ps3 is worth the price. I thinking about buying one. However, I don’t think it’s worth the price. Dollar for dollar is it better than the ps2 ?

- Only if you can get one of the 60gb PS3s that has the PS2 chip inside for (more or less) full backward compatability. If you get the new 40gb without PS2 compatability (at all), then you’ll have to keep your PS2 around for those games. To some that’s no big deal, but to some it is.

Also, do you have high speed internet access? The PS3 really is much more useful with it, ‘cus you can get all the free demo games, inexpensive PSN games, movie trailers, themes, wallpapers, web browsing (which can play YouTube videos not to mention online gaming.

If you have an HDTV, then the PS3 is great for HD everything, from games to photo slideshows. With an HDTV, you can also make full use of the Blu-Ray movie player in the PS3 and get the high def movie experience. If you’ve got a good sound system, then you’re in for a treat.

But, if you’ve still got a regular TV, slow internet (or no desire for demo games and stuff), and an enormous PS2 collection with no desire for any available PS3 games, then you might as well save your money.

Even someone without a PS2, I would encourage to buy a PS3 only if they can get the one(s) with full PS2  compatability (that being the 20gb and 60gb versions). The 20gb version probably the best bet for price, since
it’s “old” and the drive can be replaced with a bigger one if you need more room.
