...because I usually get into the old one just as everyone is singing the praises of the new one.
Case in point, the new PS3, on the surface, it looks like an excellent machine packing some awesome new technology and whilst some may say that the launch titles lack that certain something, there is no denying that, despite the huge price tag, this is gonna be a monster machine BUT I am not rushing out to buy one, simply because I can't afford it but rather than being sad about my lack of funds I am, instead, flexing my fingers over the prospect of buying my very first PS2 EVER!
Of course I have played them before, round my mates on occassion but I have never actually owned one, until now. With games like Okami, God of War 2 and Final Fantasy 12 only just being relased or soon to be in GoW2's case, surely the dying swansong of games for the aging PS2 is just too good not to induldge in and at Tesco's prices, ?20 for Final Fantasy 12! now is the best time of all to get involved.
Same thing happened with my Gamecube, bought it just as Resident Evil 4 came out as part of a special edition set and I have not looked back, games like that and the likes of the Resi remake, Tales of Symphonia, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, RE: Code Veronica X, Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and loads and loads I simply cannot think of all for virtually pennies second hand at your local Gamestation.
Do you think I should get a PAL or a US PS2, are there more games available for the US version and is the slim PS2 worth getting simply for the bonus of not having to use a bulky stepdown converter?
Thanks
