"What if you had to sell your PS2?"

OK, now that the PS3 is to be launched, there is not much time left for your PS2. The question is clear cut; would you prefer to sell your PS2, or keep it for "memories"?

And if you'll sell it; then for how much?

I waited until I knew I was getting a good price before I bought the PS2. I think I got it 10 months after release or something like that. By then at least a few respectable games had been released as well.

Always buy Nintendo consoles on release, though, as you know you're getting at least a couple of great games.

I tend to just blunder in and get one as soon as their out. Bad idea really as the consoles are really expensive on release and the games are lame. When I got my PS2 way back in 2001, it cost £320 with Crazy Taxi and some other budget game. Didn't even get a memory card.

that's what i do as well, i wait at least a year after it's come out to see whether it's worth buying (and to see which one Nippon Ichi Software and Atlus will be bringing games to :-D)

I could sell a PS2, I'd still have 2 more to keep me occupied :D

Buying a new console at launch is a bit silly anyway, unless you like being entertained by tech demos for several months. I always wait for the games before I splash out on a machine.

Wrong

Right


People buy last gen consoles for dirt cheap prices at release time. That's what I do anyway.

Keep it.

I'm not bothered about selling my PS2.

The only reasons I still have it are the Pro Evolution Soccer series and the Grand Theft Auto series. And they can both now be found on other formats.

I've only still got it because I can't be bothered putting it up on eBay or something like that. Meh.

Selling a PS2 around the release date of the PS3 would be a waste of time because there would be practically nobody who would buy it and it would sell for hardly any money.

There's still another couple of years until it gets released over here.

My PS2 still has a lot to offer until then

Still have my original PS1 plus all my games so I'll be keeping the PS2 and all of my games too ... when's the PS3 out over here?
