Any idea where to get these so called old generation consoles? I'm thinking of getting an xbox or ps2 too...

Is the ps2 slim really that bad? I heard that it has heat problems and the mod chip thing are that stabled.

Any place you all would recommend where the salesman are honest and will explain all these things to you nicely?

Thanks~!!

Don't believe urban legend totally. Never have problem with my PS2 Slim. However i never play > 3 hours...don't have so much time to spare anyway!

IMO, PS2 Slim is a great console as long as you don't intend to site there for extended period. I think if you play 8 hours one stretch, all consoles also die very fast no matter what.

It also helps to play it in an air-cond room. smile.gif

Yeah...by the time your PS2 Slim die, it's probably cheaper than now...also, it beats spending on PC hardware anyday...a mid-range GPU alone can cost > than the PS2 Slim!!!

If as it is mentioned that the XBOX is not dead yet, does that mean that the console is still on sale in the M'sian market?

I know PS2 is still going strong because of its large game library and fan base from the PS2 days.

My point is that is it too late for me to get into the XBOX scene? I'm considering on getting one; thats for sure.

actually imho it is too late for you to get into the xbox scene.. unless u want to buy a game console that soon to be just a dvd player... ms has already stopped their support for the xbox.. if im not mistaken theres no more new games for it after this...

my xbox is sittin in the dust right now.. no new games to play.. so sad.. if u still want it.. just buy a used set (if u can find one).. better value for money.. and dont go above 400 if u want to buy a used one.. the lower the better since u wont have that much games to play.. most shop in sg wang dont have that many xbox title anymore...

BTW a few shop at sg wang already have the "localized" version of the 360 games.. selling at RM 35 per game (what a ripoff).. but they said that the modchip isnt stable yet.. so i guess we have to wait n see ....

So, no new XBOX games but their back catalogoue of games still exists right? I don't mind since I'm not gonna spend a thousand ++ on a XBOX 360 to have my games emulated by software (pffft).

However things might shift my decision until more further 'changes' can be seen to the 'localized' 360.

IMHO, x360 play xbox 1 games with better quality, dont think its just emulator like in PC, its a full accelerated emulation with enhancement according to microsoft, but it only support certain game, not all the game can be backward compatible, such as DOA volleyball...

That's because when you play Xbox 1 game on Xbox 360, the game's resolution is increased to 720p / 1080i (maybe also 1080p in the future after the dashboard update?) and Anti-Aliasing will be applied.
