Im planning on getting a new console when I move. I currently have the Wii but theres not much to say about it. I want a 360 but Ive heard feedback on both PS3 and 360 and Im not sure which one would be best for me. I want good graphics and good speed. I dont want a slow system. Please Reply.

PS2 is cheap (about fifty dollars) and still a good console, however I have trouble finding unscratched games for it. Thanks a lot, GameStop.

Now about the Xbox 360 and PS3: Get whichever system with the exclusives you prefer and think if you want free online gameplay or pay fifty dollars for a year of online gameplay.

Why in the world would you think about getting a Ps2? Might as well just get a DreamCast.

One of the best consoles and you can nostalgia over all the old games?

wait, so you can't play PS2 games on a PS3, that would mean no kingdom hearts
wii is a joke with only a few good games. PSN keeps getting hacked down and the Xbox360 gets halo and minecraft and everything comes first one Xbox360

The first models of the PS3 had backwards compatibility, but they took it out.

Happened one time for one month.

I wouldnt bother getting a PS2 they r fun but they dont have enough fun games for me or my friends. Wii well what u should b aiming to get is a wiiU but hasnt come out in america yet. XBox 360 might as well get a kinect with that. PS3 well its fun even though it obviously stole stuff from nintendo.

i recommend the ps2 with all my heart. it is the main console i play and played, ps1 games work on it and it has some of the best games ive ever played. i honestly couldnt care less about the other consoles. the only reason id get the wii is for ssbb and... MAYBE mario galaxy. the best thing about the wii is that gamecube games work on it.

ps2 would be my choice

Ive had a PS2 before. Ive played on both the 360 and the Ps3. And the Wii. The Wii is probably good for like mario and stuff but I dont have any of those games. I want a 360 but Ive heard from sources that they can be slow plus you have to pay for the online gameplay. PS3 is fun to play and it has good graphics. I know all of this because I use to have a PS2, my friends dad has a PS3 and my other friend has a XBox 360. I currently have a Wii but I dont know because my Grandma said that when I move I could get a 360 because Ive wanted one all my life. But ever since I started to hear the feedback from people I wasnt sure. I need to know the prices first so I can figure out how much the games cost so I can get more games. Which is cheaper? Which has cheaper games? What are the prices? Also like the new stuff like the 360 Kinect and all that different stuff I dont know what to do. I posted this because I knew that all of you are gamers and I need to know. Thanks!

Oh man this is hard!!! Ummm hmmmmm. Well I think the PS3 and PS2 are great consoles. I have never played the X-Box before but from what I see I think it is ok, I like Sony products better. Now with the Wii, I actually like the Wii a-lot! It is fun for playing with friends and shtuff.

But after all of this I think you should go with the PS3, cause it is new and awesome!!! XD

The Ps2 has no online multiplayer games, and you can't get internet. If you're an anti-social person and like to play old games with yourself then I guess a Ps2 would be a good choice for you.

too bad you dont want a ps2. if you look for oldschool games i really recommend the wii though. if you can connect your wii to the internet you can get all kinds of old games for the old nintendo consoles (and thats a pretty awsome thing). i myself have lylat wars, ocarina of time, majoras mask and many more and i would have played those if they werent there.

instead of looking at the consoles look at whats really important. the console means nothing without good games. look which console has more games you want and just choose that console. it seems like the best most logical things to do.
