i like my PS2.. Only because I play it on a 65" projection TV...

PC games have alot more depth, but action games are more fun on the PS2.. SO go PS2 for shallow entertainment, PC for in depth

I have a ps2 and I would agree with Trump. The thing that you should remember is that PS2 games are for the most part DVD ROM games. Meaning they can put the quality without having to worry about if people own a dvd rom like in PC. How many DVD ROM games are out for the PC?

Default DVD CD?

Well they dont put games on DVD CD, if there are really big games they will be on more then oone CD, sure now your think well in a PS2 it is all on one CD and plays off of it with out any problems.
most computer have HD in them or RAM driver that save stuff, when a PC game is on more then on CD you can install it onto your HD and not need a CD, thats what i like about PC games

so it sounds like you made up your mind just get the computer. A computer is all ways better as you can do more then just gaming with the new hardware.

a PS2 is a computer that reads info from DVDS and takes that info runs it through the computer and then video and sound waves are sent thru your tv! wow isnt that special? basicly Consoles are just computers meant for doing one thing.... personal computers can do many things . just my 2 bits O.o
