The Top 5 Reasons You Should Stick To The PS2

The console war has been raging on for some time now. People still want to know; what console should I buy? Well I have to tell you-- the answer to this one is quite the simple one. There is only one console for you this year, and that is the PS2. Here is your top 5 reasons.

#5) Games Library

The game library for the PS2 is much much much larger than all of the other consoles... combined. You can never go wrong with the thousands of games for the PS2 and there is a little something for everyone, whether it's the classics or something newly released.

#4) Other Consoles Shifting Price

Why invest in another console when its price could be dropping in the near future. Of course the prices will be dropping for the rest of its life, but not as much later on. I would rather hold out on paying for a new console.

#3) Console War

The console war is still raging on, it is anyones game. I am less interested in buying consoles when there is no clear victors. You see, I am predicting at this point a new Xbox by late 2009 or early 2010. I will also be predicting an early exit from the Wii in 2010. I firmly believe that if there is any doubt at all that a console is leaving a race then you probably don't want to buy it.

#2) Cheap Games

Purchase Madden 2008 for $30 on the PS2 or $60 on the PS3/xbox360/wii. I will take the 30$ copy thank you. All of the games released to the PS2 are $30 or less, that is a huge bargain. Where as if you plan to purchase a new release for any other consoles expect the $60 price tag.

#1) Cheap

The best feature of the PS2 is its amazing price point. What is it now $120? That is a cheap thrill that offers more than consoles with price points 3 times as high. There is a lot less risk involved too, no worrying about early dropouts. It also appeals to people fearing bricked consoles, if you have owned a 360... you know what I am talking about.

The Top 5 Online Gaming Experiences

In a few of my more recent posts I have talked a lot about Online gaming and so I decided I would make a T5. The list will cover only the current online experiences available. So here is the Top 5 Online Gaming Experiences.


#5) PS2 Online(free)

Ok, I must admit the service is pretty much no good. Someone had to make the list though right? The service had a few games that were good online and even more that were not. It really has no balance, it is pretty much the game is great online or no good at all. This is why it found itself at the bottom of the list.

#4) Wii Online(free)

The service the Wii offers online is very original, but no where near the tops of the list. Whether you are messing with trading Mii's or you are just playing games it is a very reliable and stable service that has to be recognized by the general public. This service is free.

#3)PSN(free)

The Playstation Network gets better everyday especially with the much anticipated Home arriving very soon. This is an online service that can much make a challenge for the second spot on the list in the future with their consistent updates and good content. It may be middle of the pack but it is certainly outdoing its predecessor. This service is free.

#2) Xbox Live(paid gold)

This one goes without saying, it is at least second. Xbox Live offers great content whether your getting the latest map for your game or just an episode of your favorite tv show. Xbox Live also offers a great experience in game, if you have ever played Halo online you know what I am talking about.

#1) PC Online Gaming(free)

The number one on the list has to be PC gaming. It is just excellant in every form of the word. You can modify your game and then go play online with the mod, it just isn't as easy to do this on a console. The gameplay on PC is just amazing and it can be rivaled by non, you have to try it to believe it. Best of all, this service is absolutely free.


So there you go, the Top 5 online gaming experiences.
