The best reasons to get a PS2 today are very clear though.
1. More games, and more good ones. They have the biggest market and will most likely have the most amount of games being developed, and not "just games", but good ones. I have to say my time spent with my PS2 rival my Commodore/Amiga days. I could not say that of any other machine until the PS2. We're finally living in a time where cools things are happening now, like they were in the old days. In my opinion anyway. PS2 to me is like the Commodore of today. Nintendo *was* pretty good too. Microsoft gives me a hollow empty feeling. They're about money and power, not about imagination and creativity.
2. Cheaper games. As with any new system the games are much higher at first. Sure, this will be true of PS3, but I won't be buying one for at least a year anyway until prices come down. XBos 360 games will cost more. And at the high prices, they just arent worth it. I'd feel so much guilt purchasing the overpriced games to even enjoy them. I always wait until they are much cheaper. What's OLD news to the gamers who have to have the latest stuff is the new and awesome to me.
Funny how others do this with movies, and I got to see the new movies...
Oh and how do you figure a GC is superior? The PS2 has a higher graphics capabilities and can use DVD format.
