    Default Are you going to get rid of your GCN/PS2 when you get a Wii/PS3?

    Since both of these systems are backwards compatible, will you get rid of your GCN or PS2 when you get their next-gen counter-parts?

    I think I might sell my GCN, but my brother might want it when he goes to college. Same with the PS2.

    How about you?

    No, If I want to play imported PS2 games, I need my PS2. I pretty much keep all my consoles on one stand anyway. My PS2 sits beside my Megadrive and Saturn still. I just have to fiddle around with the wires to change console.

    Even when I purchase a Wii, I'm keeping my Gamecube because of the Game Boy Player. I love playing GBA games on my TV

    I'm not even sure if I'll purchase a PS3, so I'm keeping the PS2 for now

    I still have a PS1, not the little one the boxy big one that came out first. Also i still have a 64 so i'll be keeping them and i only plan on getting a ps3 and the Wii, cause xbox 360 doesn't appeal to me i'll just keep my xbox.

    Isn't the PS3 meant to be region free?

    Anyways, I'll keep my PS2 as it's not worth selling. It'll be cheap enough to buy in the store anyways.

    I'm giving my PS2 away as soon as I get a PS3.

    My brother is starting a collection, he keeps everything. We're starting to run out of room though :x
    The GC is already sat on top of the Xbox

    I traded my playstation in when I bought a PS2. I would—in theory—do the same when upgrading from PS2 to PS3/GCN to Wii/Xbox to Xbox 30/whatever. I feel it saves space and money.

    Judging by my experiences with the PS2, the PS3's build-quality won't be too great, and on my old PS2 the backwards-compatibility was the first to go. Plus, I like to keep my old consoles around for old times' sake. They'll just go up in the attic or something.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
