There's a lot of games left for me to play, especially rpg's, that are on the ps2.  of course like everyone else who hasn't upgraded, i want to.  but to be honest im somewhat disappointed with the game selection so far.  right now i plan on getting a 360 in a year or two. im a 16 year old kid who makes a weekly 5 dollar allowance, so im guessing a couple christmases from now.

Already have a 360 with a Wii on the way. 

 But when do I plan on retiring the PS2 and upgrading to a PS3?  The original goal was Feb. 2009.  Now, I'm optimistically eyeing Christmas 2008.  It really is in their court to lower the price.  Like you said, there are still enough PS2 games to last a couple years without missing anything.

Well, I've had a PS2 since '03 and recently got a Cube the first day of '07, so I got the PSCube combo goin' for now.

Currently, though, I'm saving up for a PS3 and aiming to buy end of Summer or start of Fall to get Ratchet & Clank Future, along with other titles that will either be released by then, or getting concrete release dates.

Maybe even hoping for a price drop for that first year the PS3's been out.

I was pretty close to picking up a Wii, though.. but never found it, so I ended up spending about $500 to get a Cube, nearly 20 games and a new 32" TV, lol.

I have a Wii, but I use my PS2 just as much.  My PS2 will be just as important to me as any next gen console until the day it stops working.  Even then I will just buy a new one!  Long live the PS2!

i plan to upgrade maybe 2-3 years from now. im in no real hurry. i still enjoy my PS2. whether i upgrade to 360 or PS3 is still undecided. however at the moment, im sort of swaying more towards the 360. but come september, watch out! PS3 will make a splash! (hopefully) :D

I have to agree with more than half the people on this board; the PS2 has too many good games to play (especially Japanese role-playing titles) and with the entire Burnout series, GTA, Wild Arms, Suikoden, Jak and Ratchet & Clank series, where else can you go for some of the most entertaining games in the last generation for about $20.00 each?  Not to mention that it can still play our movies/anime/music collections.

I've thought about upgrading to a PS3 in August, but too many decent titles are coming soon to the Wii and the Virtual Console is really appealing.  There's also the Xbox 360 for true next-gen gaming if funds permit.

For now, I'm happy with my four-year-old PS2.  The only thing bothering me is the overpriced HDD that I still have installed.

I did a little downgrading myself... I had a PS2 but my brother took it with him when he went to college and last christmas I got Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 has a lot of great games but there are a lot of shooters and they are fun but I missed all the great games on the PS2 like GoW, KH, Devil May Cry, etc. so I got a PS2 two days ago and just started playing again. :D But I can't wait for Blue Dragon.

i got a wii in january, and i plan on eventually getting a ps3, when the price goes down, if i could id buy it now, but i seriously cant even think of handling that price. i would love to have a 360 as well, but id want LIVE, and i dont want to pay 50 bucks a year for that, which would make it the most expensive system over time.n basically a lack of money really sucks

I've had my ps2 for almost 6 years and plan to be getting a ps3 whenever I have enough money(towards the end of this year maybe).

I should be getting a job soon and that'll pay probably about $6.15 an hour but I can't really say how many hours I'll get(hopefully a lot, the more I work the sooner I get a ps3).

It's probably going to be around september, that's when Gamestop says that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming out.

I'm pretty much only anticipating White Knight, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, and Devil May Cry 4 as of now, but I'm sure that in time I'm gonna be anticipating a lot more.

Just bought a 360, very pleased with it

As for a PS3, I really don't know if I'll ever get one. If I did, I guarantee it would be after a price drop. As for the Wii, I really don't like it to be honest lol

I still have a lot left to play on the PS2, but I'll probably submit to the PS3 sometime around half-way through its lifespan. (No reason to pick it just yet - We haven't gotten any of the big-name releases yet.) If the PS3 doesn't live up to my expectations by that time, though, I'll go with a 360.

haha it would be nice to get a new slim silver ps2 to get rid of my original one but my ps2 always works fine except for 1 or 2 freeze ups on 2 different games. i don't think i'm getting a wii or definitely not a ps3 any time soon.

I have a 360 and a wii.  I really don't want to get a PS3 any time soon because quite a few of the promising games that were coming out exclusively to the PS3 are now moving over to the 360.  Why waste the 600 bucks when all it is going to be to me is a paper weight.  I say jump on the 360 bandwagon if you are going to update and just keep your ps2 (at least for now.)  I know my ps2 is still getting the most play time out of em all hehe. As soon as there is something appealing to me for the PS3 then on the Ps3 bandwagon for me too!  Why be a fanboy when you can just have em all?

I will be making the move eventually to a PS3.  Before I do so, my television needs an upgrade to take advantage of the improved visual technology.  The current crappy little 13" SDTV in my bedroom is hardly sufficient.

 I've thought about getting a Wii, but I can't help looking at it and thinking "gimmick replacing technology."  Then again, I've never played it, and it seems like one of those experiences that must be felt to be understood.  So who knows...

I've got a Wii already, but hardly play it.  Just way too many games to play still for PS2.  I do want the new Ratchet game though.  Probably get a PS3 when that comes out.
