    What would you purchase for a second system?

    If you were choosing between a PS2 or Xbox?

    I have had my 360 for a year and it is crap, given I won't find a Wii anywhere, which would be better as a secondary system?

    Thanks for the input.

    Wii...but that's not an option, so PS2 without question.

        I am leaning very heavily towards the PS2. I just wish it had a hard drive for all games.

            Thanks for the recommendation, but I am not into the hand held genre that much, I never was either.

            If I were to get a PS2, what would be some good budget game recommendations? I am thinking NFL 2k5 is a definite, what else would there be?

              Check out the ps2 greatest hits. There are a lot of good games and they are only $20 bucks. Some of the stores have specials for $9.99. I cleaned up on those deals and picked up 10 games for $100 bucks!

                PS2 simply because it has so many more games

                  Sho 'nuff.

                  But I don't understand why someone would want to own an next-gen console by Sony or MS and a current-gen console by those two companies at the same time unless there was a big-time Xbox or PS2 exclusive or exclusives that you MUST have. And with reverse compatibility available on the PS3 and 360, the chances of that exclusive not being compatible with the next gen are even slimmer.

                  Otherwise, the next-gen console is going to offer the latest in the genres and specific game franchises that already exist on the Xbox or PS2. And if they're not on the 360 or PS3 yet, chances are they will be in the next six to nine months.

                  Buying a PS2 or Xbox -- especially an Xbox -- when you already own a 360 seems like a pretty redundant purchase to me.

                    My 360 just died, that was the reasoning actually. Plus there is the nostalgia factor of older games. I am beginning to sense the writing on the wall for a major video game crash like in the 80's, so it'd be nice to have some remnants for when this crash occurs to go back to.

                      Those remnants will be a hell of a lot cheaper on eBay in a few years. You can buy a used Dreamcast for $30-40 on eBay now.

                      I thought you were going to return your 360 for Contestant No. 3?

                        I am, but I am expecting it won't be long out until its time for contestant four. Right now is beyond stressful for me, and I use games to de-stress. I didn't think of scouring the net for a Dreamcast, thanks for that suggestion.

                          I actually just bought a PS2 as a companion system and I love it. So far, I've purchase FF10, God of War (great action game), DBZ: Budokai 3 (fun), and RE4 (haven't opened it, yet). I also have Guitar Hero 2 on tap for Christmas. If you've never owned one before, there are enough games on PS2 to serve as a primary system for quite a while.

                            I had one at launch actually and it was 1000000000000000x more dependable than the 360. It eventually was sold for the Xbox, but I missed some of the system specific games. I think my mind is made up now, I'll get a PS2.
