What the title says. My ancient PS2 is starting to show its age and I wonder if I should buy a new one (they are quite cheap and just the smaller volume makes them tempting) or wait for a suitable emulator.
Buy.
I think I'll buy a new one for Christmas since they are so cheap nowadays (100 euros) and can be easily chip-moded for 50 euros more.
Yes, it's 99$. If you still use it, it's well worth it.
I'd buy. Unless you have a really high end computer, you'll likely have trouble emulating the PS2 - PSX emulators still have lots of trouble with slowdowns and game incompatibilities.
No.
Do you still play many PS2 games?
Do you have any other consoles?
My PS2 is getting quite annoying disk read errors lately too meaning I may have to buy a new one before too long...
The trouble is the new models are apparently uber hard to chip and a bunch of my games are US imports.
PS2 is the greatest console ever made. I need to replace mine too, disks aren't being read right and it takes forever to get it working. If they hadn't removed backwards compatibility in the PS3 I'd get that instead.
Yeah, I'd probably buy one just to have. Mine is still chugging along okay. Odd that the hard drive I installed in it is bigger than the hard drive in my 360 :huh:
Heck no. I wouldn't take it if you gave it to me for free, except maybe to sell it at a profit.

Yes.
Yes (Wii and PS3, Microsoft is too evil for words)
