The PS2! Friendly on casual and hardcore gamers! Sweet on the pockets too!

With the title. I would like to proclaim that the PS2 is currently the best system for you to buy if your just into gaming. As it is right now, the next gen consoles may be in right now, but i see a scarcity in certain genre of games such as Japanese RPGs and fighting games.

Honestly, I don't feel that now is not the right time to dip into the next gen technology as of yet, especially new gamers, since with the PS3, you have to buy originals and the really good games are only for hardcore gamers (Minus LittleBigPlanet), so it limits your options, and especially unfriendly on the wallet. The XBOX360 too suffers from a lack of casual friendly games. As most of its family oriented games are online, those who mod their consoles will be left completely out of the fold. The Wii, is good and affordable, but a casual gamer may find it hard to find a good game between a lot of bad games thats out for the system.

As those 3 consoles are still growing in terms of console titles available, I would most definitely recommend the PS2 for those who would like to start gaming. It's a cheap console, at RM400 it presents very good value for both casual and hardcore gamers alike. For those looking for a cheap thrill, there's alway the Pro Evolution Soccer series, or for the hardcore, there's Metal Gear Solid and God of War. For the casual gamers, there's games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band and those cutesy little games for the kids. And your guilt of buying bad games can be justified by the fact it's only RM4/5. So, parents or new gamers, buy a PS2. Don't drop the bombshell on the next gen consoles yet. You can always wait until things get better/cheaper until it's affordable to chip in.
