Are they still making new playstation 2 games?  

I agree the prices are way too high for me too. I may get one in a few years. probly rights before they come out with somethin newer and more expensive yet. I also prefer my ps2 over any other system.

I am happy to hear that. As I look forward to many more years of gaming on my ps2. I think that the prices are part of what makes it so great. You can actually afford to buy games more than one at a time.

I just read an article about the new GTA and I am really disappointed that it won't be released for ps2. I think they should, but I think that it wouldn't look the same anyways so they will not.

That is exactly what I was thinking, but one can always hope that they will last a little longer. I guess when I win the lotto I will have to buy a new ps3 or xbox360. Hopefully I win before they come out with some other new system.

No, you just have to enjoy what you have at the moment. Its not really about the recent consoles available, you should just enjoy the games. You have played games before that are now referred as retro but still enjoy them when we get the chance to play them again, right?

Goes the same way with new games that come up with new consoles. If you focus too much on just the gaming platform, and waiting for the best which is always surpassed by following improvements, you would just be leaving out game titles that could've been one of those that you could've referred as among the best games that you have played.

^_^ that's just what I think so that it gets me alleviated from not being able to play recent games now a days :)

That is a good way to look at it. It is true I do still play alot of old games. Even the really old ones like Pac-Man. Like you said they are classics. Thank you for pointing this out as I often seem to forget.

Just enjoy them as much as you can. The one's that we refer as classics now would become historical to the new generations to follow as the new games we see as of the moment would become old school for them

Hey! Thanks for the best response thing

I like to collect games like that also. Then when you get time you have plenty of games to play. I just see that alot of the new games are only available for new systems, but I will wait and they will lower prices in a few years, as they always do. Playstation 2 is also my favorite system so far and will hate to see it phase out, but as you said it'll happen someday. In the meantime all we can do is stock up on games. LoL

I am not sure if PS3 is backward compatible with PS2 games. But if it is, then I have no worry, because I can still use my PS3 to play all the PS2 games. LoL. PS2 is my second tv game system. The first one was bought by my mum when I was a kid. I could still recall its name as "Atari", not sure if you had heard about it. It's a 2D game system and the graphic was not so refined compared to system available today. But it was the best experience during that time. I was grateful to my mum for buying me the tv game :)
