Hard Decision. PS2 or PSP?

Mon Nov 14, 2005 1:13 pm

Hey guys, I'm a big Live fan and a big wrestling fan too. I've saved up enough money to get a PS2 or a PSP. Both consoles have my favorite games on there. But I dunno what to get. Both seem tempting, I wish I could have both :lol: . So any advices? I've owned any consoles so far :(

Keep saving and get an Xbox 360 or that new PlayStation 3 whenever it comes out.

Save for PS3, it will use better discs and will be able to containe more data since is hold around twice what the Xbox 360 discs will. It will have better graphics, thats for sure. THe XBOX360 will be good no doubt, but I really doubt better than PS3.

To answer you question, get the games for PS2 if you are planning to play at home in your free time, but get them for PSP if you are planning to play on the go.

youll have enough time to save up for the 360 because it will be a madhouse when released and very hard to find.

psp is the biggest rip off.
just be patient and wait for the ps3, or the 360.

Mon Nov 14, 2005 3:16 pm

wait for the ps3, its worth it!!!

The time PS2 came out it was like, $599 CDN? Which would be just :shock: I could get a new pc with that lol. Anyone know a estimated release date price? I'd definitely buy the PS3 if it was around $300, but that'll probably will take at least a year or two of waiting cuz the demand will be damn high.

Invest in IBM.

Or get a lapdance.

and the PS3 is backwards compatible (sp?) so you can play all your PS2 games on the PS3 also.

So save for PS3 (Y)

Get the Revolution. You know it was inevitable for me to say that.

Hmm yeah, you guys are right. I'll probably save up for a PS3. But PSP still seem a good choice. There's "stuff" out there which allows the PSP user to play all the GBA, SNES, and Genesis games. Is the PS3 gonna still be the same as PS2 with only two controllers allowed without a multi-tap, or a 4-way without a multitap like the X-Box.

Also got to consider the fact that the PSP battery life is basically non existant... I've read some people say that they can't even watch a whole DVD on it because the batteries die too quickly.

my sister bought a PS2, it bored me after 30 mins cos the games were Ratchet and Clank 3 and Gran Turismo 3


i'm gonna get KillZone







After that, im gonna save up for a PS3

xbox atleast, ps2 is pretty poor for grapix now days. So is xbox but it is around 25% better GFX.

PSP is only if you want somethin to play with if you travel or you are not home much its not got all of the features and graphix are not as good as the ps2 ... kinda inbetween ps1 and ps2.

Funny , my lil brothers got that game , and I actually enjoy playing it .

I'm mainly buying the consoles for Raw vs Smackdown 2006. It sucks that WWE Raw is the only PC wrestling game out there.

Anyone know when PS 3 is supposed to be coming out and how much it'll cost?

Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:24 am

They still said price is undecided, but i hope its like around $300 or less.

But is the PS3 4 controllers or just 2 like ps2? or is it 3?

Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:31 am

Well, I'm personally boycotting all Sony products for the rest of my life. Personally, I think they are shitty quality. And PSP is a huge rip-off, probably one of the biggets known to man-kind.

So in a nut shell, neither.

It's nine. And to BZ, what are you looking for and what do you have in terms on other technology?

I remember reading somewhere that Sony was planning on selling it for $399 US, but costs Sony $450 US to make.

To The Other Kevin: I'm basically looking for the exclusive games offered for the Playstation franchise. Like, I'm a wrestling fan also, and the best wrestling games are available only for Playstation 2, 3, and Portable. But then again, I'm also a huge GTA fan too, and playing Liberty City stories is also a must. I've pretty much set my mind on the PSP, because the cost for the PS3 would be really high.

Yeah, LCS is amazing. Both shoises are good.

Thu Dec 01, 2005 11:50 am

Why is PSP a rip off? If I get one I seen on my news site where I can get any game for it free. It looked better then any gameboy.

Thu Dec 01, 2005 1:52 pm

I heard they break easily and it's like $250 for a handheld system. Seriously, what the fuck is that? You could buy an Xbox 360 for $50 more.
