I intend to buy a ps2 in the following days/weeks. What should I get with it, or soon after I buy it. Any reccomendations would be appriciated.

Depends one what you like, I think theres a good helping of what ever you could possibly want in every catagory.

But my first suggestion that jumps to mine is SSX3 just because the original SSX was my first game... that and DOA 2, but I think SSX3 is a bit more fulfilling.

oh and dont forget a memory card.

Wipeout:Fusion.... and the good point is that it can be had very cheap. I still stand by that this is THE game to own for the system.

And if you're on the SSX front, I'd actually go with Tricky, it's my favorite from the series, but then, I'm just rambling.

I would get either FF X or maybe the GTA double pack. Both games will keep you busy for a long while. And yeah it pretty much depends on what you like.

Devil May Cry was my first game, bought it with my PS2. I really enjoyed it. IMO it was a great way to be "welcomed" to the PS2, and still remains a favorite. Just stay away from DMC2

Ratchet & Clank. It's a high quality, classy game. My normal preference is RPGs, but this is the first game I've played to completion on my PS2.

Bringing it back to exchange it for a new one; it's probably broken by now.

You definatelly need a memory card and if you have friends a second controller. I suggest you get kingdom hearts since a sequel is on the way. Soul Calibur 2 should last you a while and if you like rpgs Disgaea is a fun game. Seems kiddy to people at first but its pretty dark and funny. Never had a game make me laugh before . it'll last you quite sometime its like ff tactics but with a deeper battle system and an easier to understand story.

Get a good quality power surge protector strip. One with a rj-11(phone) jack is a must. You don't want any random power surges frying your ps2 or network connector. Costco has a 3200 Joule power strip for $20. I don't think the $100 Monster ones are worth the extra cost since any good product has a $10,000 product guarantee.

disgaea is probably my favorite game on the system, it will keep you occupied for a long time

Your timing is perfect to pick up R-Type final (if you like shooters). I'd also consider Contra: Shattered Soldier, GTA double pack (if you don't own it for another system yet), Rygar, Activision Anthology, Prince of Persia, Baldur's Gate (1, not 2) and Ico. All can be found for pretty reasonable prices, except maybe PoP (but you can still get that with Splinter Cell free, I think).

when i first got my ps2 TRU was running a buy 2 get 1 free deal. gta3, silent hill 2, and devil may cry. all excellent ps2 starters.

Madden 2004

Get the ps2 with the Network Adapter and try out socom

Barbie Horse Adventures.

Hot Shots Golf 3 is definately worth the $20 (new) you would pay for it. I also enjoyed Xenosaga (if you like RPG's) and Max Payne (if you don't have it on the computer).

that's my vote too, except make sure its Socom II.. but really, we have to know what type of games you like in order to make feasible suggestions.

For rpg's, i'd buy ffX or kingdom hearts

The games I own for PS2 are Maximo (Highly recommend), both Virtua Fighter 4 games, and Ico.

Still need to grab The Army of Zin soon.

I'd go with Ratchet & Clank...the first one, since its cheaper and the 2 games are very similar.
