I'm debating on whether or not to do this(has anyone taken a similar plunge?). I guess the reason is that I am, first and foremost, a sports gamer, To that end, I recently bought an Xbox, and moved the PS2 to my room to serve as a DVD player(and to play MVP 2004, the only "new" game I have for it). I'm afraid that any of the new PS2 exclusives will be ones I don't want, and I don't want to have a glorified DVD player just sitting there(which I could always replace with some bare-bones $60 Samsung from Best Buy, which would probably be better).
Also, since a new semester is starting up, and my roommates and I are always having girls over, I think it would be nice to have a console(and games) that they could get into, while still being fun for me(that multiplayer, but "kiddie" stuff that everyone raves about). Especially if we can convince the girls that every lost Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers match requires them to take a shot and/or lose a piece of clothing.
Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because(although it may seem that my mind is already made up) I want to hear any cautionary reasons why I might not want to do this. Is having an Xbox/Gamecube a pretty good one/two punch if they are the only consoles I'll have? Will I really be "missing out" without the PS2? Also, has anyone traded in anything similar to this at gamestop/eb lately: PS2, two Sony controllers, a network adapter, MVP 2004? HOw much did you get? Also, does gamestop/eb accept things like a memory card, a dvd remote, and such? I have never traded anything in before, so I really have no clue. I did call, however, and the guy told me I need to bring everything in before he could tell me anything, which seems like too much of a pain in the [censored], which is why I'm asking here.
Lots of questions, but thanks in advance.
