What made me get a PS3 was because my PS2 broke and I was left with a bunch of unplayable, yet awesome, PS2 games. I'm not familiar enough with the market to know whether or not they sell backward compatible PS3's anymore, but that might be an option if you want to play a bunch of now cheap PS2 games. The PS2 has a ton of exclusive titles.

If you want to play with Eoffers you should probably go for Xbox, although be warned that they only play boring games. BORING GAMES. You know who you are!
