"PS2 or GBA?"

I have enough to get one of the above (so £300 basically), but which one? The PS2 offers great graphics and games, yet the GBA offers size, gameplay and newness.

What would you get?

Exactly. Listen to the man.

PS2 is the better buy from the two, as you will be able to save again for a GBA at a later date and it won't take so long to buy it.

Don't forget the ability to morph into a lethal weapon!

"but what else do you expect from a next-gen console"

4 control ports, wings, wheels and vibrating shoes.

The PlayStation 2 has, as I'm sure you'll all agree, immense power, fantastic sound and great graphics, but what else do you expect from a next-gen console.

Make your decision on games. Do you want a souped up beast with the likes of SSX, GT3, Rumble Racing, Quake 3, Unreal and many, many more, or do you want a scaled-down SNES with SNES games to boot? The choice is yours. Out of the two, I know what I'd choose but as always it's up to you.

I'd get a PS2, because of all the things you mentioned and also you stated 'newness' as a reason to get a GBA but when you look at it, though it is the newer system, the games it offers are largely ports of classic snes games.

PS2 offers newness in software format!
