I personally have never owned a PS2 last gen. Not a single one. I am kind of surprised at my self because I missed A LOT of great games. I did own the Xbox and GC however, but they both died fairly quickly, and I eventually sold my Xbox for a discount towards my current 360. And the GC.....it basically has been collecting dust for more than a year now.....

Well that's my story, what about you?

Not actually A LOT. I've bought PS2 recently and can say that Xbox/X360 games rule. The best PS2 game that I've played to this moment - RE 4.

I played PC games between 2000 and 2005, didn't own any of the consoles. Then my hardware started falling so far behind the times that I couldn't play new games at all, so I picked up a GameCube. It was cool, but unsatisfying compared to what I saw all my friends playing on their PS2s and XBoxes. So I bought my friend's fat PS2 and sold my GC soon after.

About a year later, in the summer of 2006, on a friend's suggestion, I picked up a used XBox. It wasn't just my friend's suggestion--I was super disappointed with Sony's E3 2006 showing, and I wanted to get a taste of what the XBox had been like. I fell in love with it, and suddenly 360 seemed a lot more appealing.

Nowadays I'm not sure what to do, because the 360's got great games NOW and more on the way, and its price is a little less ridiculous than the PS3's, but 360s have this weird habit of melting. Until there's some dramatic change that fixes this problem, or until Sony drops the price of the 60GB PS3 to $400, I can't seriously entertain the idea of buying either of the high-end consoles.

What should I vote for if I had one, it broke, I got another one, got it fixed, and now I still have it?

Oh well... *votes for "yes, still have one"*

Depends on what you count, my brother bought one, but I have never purchased one. I played a few games on it, but I honestly didn't like the platform. The interface was dull, and I honestly don't like how the dualshock feels in my hands. The GCN controller felt better, maybe not best suited for dual analog, but as far as design is concerned it was the most comfortable.

The PS2 and the Dreamcast were the only consoles I didn't own last generation. I'm kind of kicking myself for that, though, since I had to miss out on several games. Since I know people with PS2s and even PS3s, I figured that I could get away with just buying the games and borrowing their hardware to play them. As far as me buying a PS2 goes? Not happening now that the PS3's out, and why should I spend money on something that's obsolete when the newer model plays all the old games just fine while also allowing for newer games and other neat multimedia functions?

No because I was a fool. Last gen, I read an article in EGM about that Nintendo may go out of business because of Sony. So I got mad at them and I became a sheep. Then later on, when I got a PSP, I had the time of my life for a while. So I changed my thoughts about Sony. I regret not getting one. Ehen I get a PS3, I will be buying the good PS2 games I have missed out.

I sold it after a long while. I do that with all consoles usually to save up for the next-generation ones.

I've owned one for ages! I never really got into it though. Only got it for sports games since the GC didn't have many good ones. I got a Wii and a PS2 now and I'll probs get a 360 in a year or so.

Bought 2, one for me and my brother on the release day. Probably one of the best consoles I've ever owned (it got a lot more playtime than my 360 is currently).

Get one NOW! They are really cheap and there is a LOT of good games on the system, sure some of the games are old though so you would have to get a lot of them used and do some hunting, but the PS2's library is superior to any console currently out (other then PC).

I laugh at those who have never owned a ps2.white_sox

Why? What would be the point of buying a PS2 if you were content with the Xbox/GC?

I never owned a PS2, but I felt no need to since I already had an Xbox and my neighbor had a PS2. You laugh it me because I don't like to waste money? :|

Yes, and it still works, if only barely. A few of the pieces have broken off and we have to open it up every once and a while to clean up a bit, but otherwise it's still going strong...errr...slightly.
