I bought a PS2 right when they came out and payed almost 500 bucks. Right away I started having trouble playing SOME DVD's. Eventually I was unable to make it all the way through ANY DVD's. It has ruined two games that I bought (NHL 2001, NHL 2002 with scratches in the exact same place on both cd's). Now I'm at the point where I'm lucky if a game will play AT ALL. I have better luck playing games on DVD than CD but I've always got my fingers crossed when I pop a game in (please work, please work, please work).
I feel jipped, $500 for a PS2 that will play hundreds of games (including psone) with a built in DVD player is definitaly worth it. But, what I've got is a piece of crap that isn't worth anything. Now $200 for the PS2 is a great price just for the games. I'd still recommend the PS2 over anything because I'm sure that my situation is a rare one. But, if I decide to replace my gaming console I will not buy another PS2. I have contacted SCEA about this issue NUMEROUS times and never received any sort of response, which to me is bad business.
Reason to choose PS2 over XBOX or GC:
Backwards compatability.....'nuff said.
Oh.....and GTA

Hard Call Man!
I was leaning toward PS2 till I spent a weekend with 11 buddies, lots of pizza, mountain dew, 3 Trinitrons, and 3 XBox's. HALO
I didn't get it either, till I played Halo all weekend, after that, I bought an XBox.
I like the Games, and there are some sweet games coming out for it soon.
I'd get the XBox. Great racing games: Project Gotham, Rally Sport Challege.

They do but be careful what you buy. I have seen some cheap ones that would actually scratch the lens. I bet Sony makes a kit and I would use theirs before I used anyone elses. At least you can blame Sony if it messes yours up more. And they do have big wallets.
