if it 400 and u get all that,its worth it
but ps2 games a bit slow since it old console

so if u support piracy..go for 360 or wii (always has new game release)

but i recommend u to get ps3

don't believe they've solved the overheating issue for xbox have they? wouldn't recommend it if u r a hardcore gamer? wii is cute at 1st but find it non-challenging after a while..

i'd recommend ps3... buy original biggrin.gif

I think your asking at the wrong place dude..
This is a playstation 3 subforum so I think the answers here would be kind of obvious wouldn't it? tongue.gif

Well if you don't really mind graphics or the latest games and you have REALLY limited budget, then get the PS2 as it has a huge library of games and a lot of great ones at it too.

If that PS2 your fren is selling is still in good condition and the steering is working, then its a good deal.

However if you could save up, I recommend you to get one of the 3 next gen consoles (Xbox360, Wii, PS3). About which to choose.. I can't really say, its up to your preference. Each has their pros and cons.

Depending on which package you get, PS3 is around RM1.3k - RM1.9k. And nope, no crack..

you won't get the crack anytime soon.. but u nvr played ps2 b4 rite? I guess not so bad changin to it after all. If i see PS2 graphic now, i see it like i'm looking at PS1 graphic. Lol.. True enuff it's big investment for PS3, at least you won't spam 100 games for it and throw 90 games inside a black plastic bag waiting to be recycled.

true... owning a PS3 makes you do your research before buying a new game. you wanna make sure it is worth the ~RM200 tongue.gif

the nice thing about PS3 against PS2, apart from playing media and bttr graphics, is online play. think about that.

and also think about why is the person so eager to sell of his ps2 with ps2-oriented stuff at a good price? maybe he's planning to get a ps3 for himself hehehe

imho wii is really boring. my bro in law got it and we got like 20 games. of which we only play naruto. the rest are cool for about 10 mins. then yeah.

ps2 is worth it if you are on a budget cause well games are cheap. (especially if yours comes with 100 games).

xbox. never owned one. but i dont like the controller. so heavy.

ps3. the bomb shizznit. media server. awesome graphics. blu-ray. wifi. blah blah blah. but yeah. thats only if you got money to spare. if you dont have a job. or if your parents aint rich. i dont recommend getting this. otherwise you'll have a RM 1500+ system with 1 game. or something like that heheh.

fully recommend the ps2. make sure you check how old it is. and if the lens makes a 'tick tick tick' sound. if makes any tick tick sounds lens is gonna die. good luck. its not always about the graphics. its about the games. never forget that. why you think people buying games like pixeljunk and last guy heheh.

RM400 is super cheap.

If you are hesitating on such a price package, other new gen consoles are out of your league

Most unlikely..after the Shenmue creator,Yu Suzuki left AM2, the one who make the game..don't know when he finally finish the game story..still waiting, almost 6 years already cry.gif Maybe this may sound funny,but he already got the script/plan for the next installment...but Sega got no money to proceed

To think that this game also make Guinness World Record..for most expensive game ever made back then..leave just like that

SEGA developed the GD Rom as the unhackable game medium exclusively for the Dreamcast.
They spend alot of money on the R&D of the GDR.
Roughly about 2 month after the machine is launched, their game are cracked and pirated like nobody's business.
Although the cracked game need to be multi load from 3 or 5 CDs.

SEGA lost so much money they quit from the console business and focus on making game instead.
I missed Segata Sanshiro, the mascot for SEGA Saturn.
