Which console?

[caseyd]

Guys, I need some advice. I've been videogameless for a while now. My PC just doesn't seem to be cutting it. Many of the sports games I try to play crash frequently. I've started feeling like I'd like to get a system again. The question is, which one? I bought a Wii bundle at Costco the other day ($339) but took it back (Just wasn't ready to fork over all the cash when I wasn't positive). I've since been thinking about a 360 or even just a PS2. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that I probably won't play a ton, so I was leaning towards the PS2 (besides the fact that I'd really like to play Guitar Hero). PS3 is definitely out because I don't want to spend that much. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Which console?

I would do a search on this because there have been numerous ones asking the same thing.
IMO: I wouldn't get a PS2. GH is also coming out for the 360 with downloadable content. If you game online then the 360 is the certain choice.
However if you don't play much and the PS2 has the titles you want to play then just get that(even though I wouldn't )

Ok, thanks! I would have looked more, but figured that most of it would be 360 vs. PS3 vs. Wii stuff, and I was, because of price, also looking at the PS2. I don't really game online much, though I liked being able to download arcade games when I had a 360 a while back. Never mind, I'm not sure why I even asked this. I've probably had most of these systems (apart from the Wii and PS3) before, so I should be able to make a decision. I guess I was really wondering if any guys were in my boat (not wanting to shell out a ton of money to satisfy their video game needs) and what they thought.

Well I'm probably a bad one to answer because I have all 3 systems. So I can still play PS2 games also. Just base it on the games you want to play and go from there.

Re: Which console?

A PS2 is actually a good buy, if you've never owned one before. I just bought one in December and am having fun with it. Tons of great games in the $10 (used) range. For the new stuff, 360 is the way to go right now.
