Question Is a console for me?

Just before i was about to send my payment to charlie for the messiah (sorry charlie :P), i got thinking " do i REALLY need a console?"

See, i have a kick ass PC, it is stable as hell, i can get any PC game, I like sitting in front of my PC (which is my entertainment center)... so what do i get for my $400 ps2? (modding + accessories)

I have a 27" nothing-special Toshiba TV. The gameplay isn't any better on a console (is it?). Of course we all know that the graphics on a Geforce Ti4600 at 1280x1024 (my vid card and resoultion) look much better than a console. Then most console games get ported to the PC.

So, do i REALLY need to buy a console? I can afford it, don't get me wrong, but i don't want to spend $400 and then go back to my PC and i end up with an expensive piece of trash.

Well the decision is totally up to you. Think hard my friend. I personally dont like PC games as much as I do my PS2 games. But I dont think I have as much invested as you in my PC for gaming purposes.

A ps2 is a good machine man.

Let us see, if i buy a ps2 now.. get a few games (GTA:VC, SOCOM, TS 2).. and say you were in the market for a used ps2.. how much would you pay?

Just trying to see how much a used ps2 can get back out of the $400 that were spent on it.

If your so worried about "what you can get out of it later" DON'T BUY ONE....

It was supposed to be enjoyable.... You've turned it into PAIN in the A$$....

Do a search on EBAY for a used PS2 with 3 or more games and find your answer.
