I've never owned either of them. The last Sony system I had was my PS1. I really don't know which one to get. I'm primarily getting it for RPGs, and theres one or two decent Shooters for both systems. I'm thinking I'll choose a PS2 just because it's a lot cheaper and there are a lot more games on it. But the PSP also has a fair amount of RPGs and has a lot of homebrew material for it. I don't know which one to get. Also are there many PS2 games that can play online? Because I didn't know PS2 had online capabilities till a few months ago.
That's a ridiculous question. PS2, hands down.

Really? I thought it was a pretty logical one...
I mean PSP has internetz and can play videos and MP3s.
Of course that's what I have my ipod for....
You can also do that on the PS2 with a simple softmod.

I have Persona 2 eternal punishment for my PS1 and wasn't a big fan of it. I still might buy it though just for collection purposes.
I'm really looking at getting Eternal Poison, Baroque, Rogue Galaxy,Radiata Stories, Xenosaga, all the Metal Gear Solids, and Star Ocean.
But at the same time I have a friend who's offering me his PSP for $100...
Also a simple softmod? As in like opening it up? Not just a disc swap?
The psp is great for pirates but ps2 has great games
Are you stupid, a softmod is the one where you don't crack it open. doodthing; Baroque? Xenosaga? What the hell? Persona 4 is awesome.

xenosaga is the most boring rpg i've ever played
and baroque? goonish
The PSP is great... if you love buying collections of 10-30 year old arcade games. It really doesn't offer much of anything besides that.
Oh, and if you ever want to get rid of P2, I'll pay you for it.
PS2.
Get Persona 3 & 4.
Shadow of the Colossus
Tales of the Abyss
Metal Gear solid.

Yeah I know, I'm actually tempted to sell it seeing how high the prices are for it. I lost the case though. saddood;

As I said above, I'm tempted.
Really? I heard Xenosaga was half decent.

bad next bidder
But really I'm not sure I want to sell it now that I see they're going for $80 used on amazon.

I'm assuming since you have no case, you're going to lose some value.

how about $30
There was also a time when R-type III was going for $270 on Amazon WITHOUT the box--it's only worth about a 1/9 of that price with the box.

I'm sure I can find a case on the internet or at one of the Play N Trades near me for under $10

I'll think about it.
I think I have the R-type III remake for GBA somewhere.

PS2 HAS OKAMI, ICO, AND SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
San andreas is also awesome
PS2, best system last generation.
Yeah well the Play N trade near my house sells the fat PS2s for $50 so I'll prolly pick one up today. Is the only difference between the fat PS2s and the slim PS2s the ethurnet is built into the slim?

That and the slim PS2 boots up games faster than the fat does.

You mean best system ever, yes.
Well I bought a used slim PS2 at Play N Trade today for $60, plus I got a memory card and Xenosaga for free. Pretty good deal I guess. I got one of the pretty silver ones.
Question now what are the USB ports on the front for?

I don't know, it's just the only use I've ever found for them; plug a printer into it. I'm not sure, but the EyeToy might work with those too.
Also, you can probably use a USB key if you don't have any more space in your memory card. befuddlement

If you're still interested in a softmod to play media, it uses the USB ports.
I wish my fat PS2 would die already. I want a sexy slim one. I've had this one since launch and I even bought the network adapter.
God I love my PS2. I wish I had a controller ;-;

I would be interested in softmodding it.
I'm loving mine so far giggle; Loving Xenosaga.
Did you get any other games?
Also the playstation has a huge modding community in general so a quick google search should lead to some easy tutorials.

No, not yet. I'm playing a lot of my PS1 games on it. I'm kinda a little tight on money right now...
Persona 2 is $80> DAAMN just checked ebay.
Fuck man that reminds me of the time not too long ago when I was standing in Gamestop looking at their used PS1 games, and was deciding between Vagrant Story and Persona2, neither had a case or anything FUCK cheapass gamestop why does all their shit not have the original stuff. >_>
Anyways I bought Vagrant Story. . and persona2 was about $30, VS was about $25.
