What to do with an old PS2 ? sold vs keep

[Tiago]

What to do with an old PS2 when you get a new console like PS3 or Xbox ?

Sell the PS2?
- for how much? the value for a second hand is ridiculous... if new is about 70 euros... second hand will be what? 30 euros?
- my PS2 is "chiped", has 2 controllers and 2 controllers extensions, how much should i ask for it?


Keep the PS2?
- i can use the controllers in PS3... there is an adapter for them...
but i have 2 PS3 controllers... why should i need 4 ?
- any other use?? reading CDs or DVDs... today anything can read them...
- keep it as sentimental value?

what do you think?

Keep it.

It's chipped, it's a PS2 and it'll still play all the games your PS3 won't play.

There is almost nothing to gain by getting rid of it, but a lot to lose if you do.

I agree, even though my PS3 is the original launch model that includes PS2 emulation I keep my PS2 as the emulation on the PS3 is far from perfect. Also my PS2 is chipped so it can play.. uh.. imports. Yeah. :unsure:

You might need the controllers too. The PS3 supports up to seven. Not many games around with simultaneous seven-player gameplay, but they do exist. Or you could always use them for PC games. Will need adapters of course.

Definitely keep it!

I say keep it, you can watch downloaded DivX movies on there with the sms player, and run a fair few emulators too (Megadrive, Amiga, Nes etc.). Its also great if kids come around and you dont want them touching your ps3 ;).
