Go for it my friend. It is definately worth it.
Dont forget to buy a extra memory card so you have enough space to save your game profiles etc.
The front of the PS2 has got 2 ports for memory and just below that there are 2 ports for connecting the controllers.
Check the attachment.
So atleast by 2 memory cards with the highest capacity. If budget is a constraint here, one will do too.

I can procure memory cards thats not a problem..!!

What does a "Modified" PS2 console mean..!!??

@inder : dont buy ps2 , there are hardly any new games on it and the graphics will disappoint you for sure.I sold mine in less than 3 mnths to upgrade to a ps3

Buddy, what to do yaar...i m looking at this just for doing time pass on weekends/holidays..

And, i have played with the PS2 before as my younger bro is having it.. But, the problem is he is staying in Delhi..

@Inder: If budget is a constraint go for PS2 if not PS3 since you have the luxury of blu-ray and sony's proprietary technology.

I dont want to spend much on the PS..its gonna be used as time pass material for my holidays(when i m not touring)..

B

it means it can run pirated games .Original games are quite costly but pirated ones come for 45 /dvd

Than PS2 is the best thing to go for. Modified PS2 is a hacked PS2 which has a modded chip installed on it so tht you can play "any" PS2 game on it.

Ohh ok..!!

Till now i was under the impression that modified PS2 means that we can also watch dvd movies on it..!!

[saif71184]

If you have modded PS2 you can run SMS media Player and that will play the divx.
But you have to burn the avi files with a PS2 cd compiler or with Nero and choose DVD-Video and put the files in the root.

if u are getting a good one for <4 k then ok , other wise buy a psp.

by the way ps3 makes more sense because it becomes ur entertainment hub.(along with lcd tv).
u can watch hd movies(for eg 720 p gladiator-8gb movie) , play music , play games , watch dvd's on it.U can connect digital audio system to it, is full hd compatible.dload game demos , vids , buy only original games which makes it more fun than any other system.

PSP's screen is too small.. thats why i m not considering it..!!
Lets see if i can fix up a deal for the PS2..

With great power(PS3) comes great responsibility(Paisa)

You can connect psp with TV (through AV cable) , then psp becomes your controller , and your TV becomes the screen.

A serial on TV said 16,999/- ... That's the original version, not hacked. Along with 10 DVDs.

This is a confirmed info.

xbox with 40-60 gb will cost 25 , but u can always buy ps3 80gb for 24-25k which is any day a better deal than 360.

p.s. no brand wars please , just my opinion.

@inder : dont buy ps2 , there are hardly any new games on it and the graphics will disappoint you for sure.I sold mine in less than 3 mnths to upgrade to a ps3

XBOX arcade costs 16,XXX and comes with only 256MB memory card.



Why you shouldn't buy an Xbox 360 Arcade | News Blog - CNET News

Thanks for the info guys..

niks: I was looking at the ps3 as an option but then i found out that the games are too expensive and some technical issues still present in PS3.


surbhit/Samarth: no HDD with the 16,XXX XBOX ?? I can spend upto 20K for the XBOX with HDD..

Proper framing of the sentence..

You can connect psp with TV (through AV cable) , then psp becomes your controller , and your TV becomes the screen.

Niks, you get me thinking everytime with your posts..!!

niks: I was looking at the ps3 as an option but then i found out that the games are too expensive and some technical issues still present in PS3.

the most recent releases and big name games cost the same , but the overall quality of the system is far better , if you have the moolah buy the ps3 , else xbox is good enough for begining console gaming.PS2 should not be considered unless you are a die hard fan of God Of War.

@inder : PM me what you want and I might be able to guide you.

anybody has completed GTA 4 successfully with no hickups and errors!??

Some of the above discussions are based on how much money can our friend inder spend on gaming.
He has mentioned it cleary that his budget is a constraint and the gaming rig is only for timepass and weekends masti..PS2 fits his budget.

Inder, if i had money, i will certainly buy a PS3 / XBOX fully loaded + a lazy boy recliner + 2mbps line..unit then, it is PS2

Niks, i would say, god of war is one of the good games for PS2. There are more out there

PEACE
