Is anyone upgrading their game system this Christmas?
 

I am hoping to find someone who is upgrading from their PS2. We are still using a PS1 and it just barely works now. So I am trying to find a better system that will still run the games we have now, and let us get some newer games too.

I know that ebay has tons of these out there, but I would feel better getting a system from someone here first. If anyone has a system or system/games that they are not using or are looking to upgrade let me know.

Thanks

:eek:

You can get a brand new PS2 for like $99 that would play the PS1 games, and open you up to a giant library of great, cheap PS2 games.

I would give you my unit if it weren't for Power Pros 2008. I didn't use it for 2 years, but started to get some use out of it again.

I'm in the same situation, but using a Sega Genesis.

No, really.

That was the point of the PS2. I think that new systems are actually 129.00, but I am looking to save money where I can.

Refurbished OG PS2 from Gamestop $59.99.

Sony Playstation 2 Redesign - GameStop Refurbished $69.99

New Silver or Black Units
$129.99

Get a Sega CD then. And once you're done with that, either go for the Saturn or make a big leap to the Dreamcast.

I'm still using an original XBox. Well, using probably isn't the correct term. I have an original XBox gathering dust underneath the TV in my office...

My kids still play the PS2, but I'm hopeful that there will be a Wii coming for Christmas.

I'm upgrading my broken Xbox 360 to one that works.

Do any of you guys know where I can buy a new power supply for my brother's 360 for less than $80? I lost it when I was moving his stuff and I need to replace it before he comes home for Christmas. It seems crazy that no stores near me carry it and it costs $80 online. Any place I can get one cheaper?

I've got an XBox 360 that I rarely use but it will likely get some play over the holidays.

That said, I plan on upgrading my computer over the next few weeks. Want to get a stick of RAM, a new video card and a new power supply.

Why?

So I can play Football Manager with the 3D match engine. And I'm not embarassed to say it! :) Oh yeah, and to be prepared should Starcraft II ever see the light of day...

I'm tempted to pick up a 360 for the netflix deal. I'm a snob, though and really want an elite (cuz of the black and storage of course), and not sure I wanna plop down the $400 for one. Maybe I'll find a good deal on cyber monday.

I'd give up my PS2 is Persona 4 wasn't coming out in a couple weeks.

Sad that I'm still getting more PS2 games than I do PS3 games.

I still play my Xbox, MVP Baseball (2005? I forget) almost every day. Wii doesn't have any good baseball games, or else the Xbox would be gone.

And yes, I am cheap/poor.


EDIT: Are new sports games still coming out for the PS2? That's an "investment" I could handle.

You lost the heaviest part of the console!? :D

I miss the days of the original Xbox. Back then, this would've been a joke about the controller.

:eek:

What's wrong with MLB Power Pros?

Yup, bought NCAA Football '09 for my PS2 and could've chosen from any of the usual EA sports titles.

Pilotman,

I have a PS2 that I haven't touched in over a year. I have some games as well (mainly various editions of Madden and NCAA). Shoot me a PM. I'm sure we can work something out.

Sent you a PM.

My xbox is still working nicely, thank you very much.....


I will upgrade to the 360 in 2011

I just couldn't get into it. I know I SHOULD'VE been able to, but something just put me off. Mayhaps your incredulous blue face will encourage me to rent it again. ;)

I'm upgrading!

Scrapping the Gamecube and PS1 for a Wii! Horray! We love playing my brother-in-laws, and the kids really love it. Its pretty much the perfect gaming system for our family. Plus, I still have my computer for stuff like Fallout and Call of Duty.
