Ok so what reasen(s) do you have for buying a PS2 instead of another console?

Was it the games?
If so, name some that interested you...

Were you originaly a PSone owner?

Was it because all other consoles suck?

Why?

I have owned various consoles over the years and the PS2 was the next logical progression. I waited until the price had dropped to what I considered a reasonable amount to pay for a console and the final thing that swung it was the fact that we could use it to watch DVD's as well.

It has taken over the slot that the trusty old PSX used to occupy and that is now in a box, in a cupboard gathering dust - Isn't that sad ? poor old PSX....

I got mine for a few reasens. I already had a Playstation with many games so the idea of backwards compatability seemed and is cool. Also there were many games coming out MGS2, GTA3,GT3, SD3 and a Futurama game. Do you remember that futurama one, they scraped it in the end, now a different company are making one. I had been a Sony console owner from almost the begining so I knew what to expect and that my money would not go to waste.

GTA3 was really the reason I got my PS2. Also the releases of MGS2 and FFX in the pipeline helped sealed the decision.

I only bought a PS2 recently and it was GTA3, MGS2 and ICO that finally made me go out and pick one up.
