I'd say to go for the PS2 unless you loved the DS games you've played so much that you can't live without it.

360 is ~$300 for the bastardized version or ~$400 for one that sucks much less. Personally I'm waiting for a few more drops and a more reliable console. Also the reason I'm drawn to PS2 is the sheer library of great games. Granted 360 might be there in a few years, but at the moment I can't get a bunch of really good 360 game for less than $10. (actually, I haven't looked that much, but unless we're talking about old Maddens I don't think I know of a 360 game that cheap)wow..just get a 360

Lets assume that I have $400 to spend on gaming right now.... Prices might vary, but just bear with me.
(not including taxes)
Base unit 360 = $280
Three Games:
Devil May Cry 4 = $60
Halo 3 =$40
Crackdown = $20
Games cost = $120
Total 360 Cost
= $400
-------------------------------------
PS2 = $130
One New Memory Card = $20
Seven Games: (combination of used and new games)
Devil May Cry 1-3 = $30
Metal Gear Solid 2-3 = $25
Shadow of the Colossus = $20
Bully = $20
Total Games cost = $100
Total PS2 Cost: $250
-----------------------------
Cost Difference = $150
You could save that money toward getting a 360 in the future when the price of games and hardware has come down....
Games decrease in price by as much as 60% in first 8 months

That was just an example of a combination thats possible. I used retail prices just to keep the comparison relative. Going used saves even more money for the ps2. The OP mentioned a article from racketboy about combinations of different cheap games, and i was just keeping in that format .

I want to jump on that. I just need to find out how to dump my $90 in Wal*Mart gift cards. (Who the hell gives Wal*Mart gift cards as a gift? They never have any sales on video games so it's almost impossible to spend knowing what I'm buying is cheaper somewhere else)Get the PS2. I'm jumping on the $30 gift card at Best Buy deal. $99 for a system with tons of great, cheap games? Sign me up. "Next-gen" can wait.

Honestly, I miss my old PS2.
I lost many hours to Baldur's Gate and Tekken Tag. It was far more reliable than my new Xbox 360 (heh... and quieter). And the games are dirt cheap now (although, the last Baldur's Gate released on PS2 in cut condition I believe is still around $40)

I am unsure whether to get a PS2 (slim) or a DS (lite) since they are the same price. It looks like the PS2 is more conducive to cheapassery at the moment since it's one generation behind DS and all. I had a DS Phat before it broke and I liked the games on it, so I know I'll like a DS lite. But the question is will I like a PS2 more? I think I may give PS2 a try since everything is so cheap, unlike Nintendo's pricing stucture where first party games are full price until they go out of print, unless it's a very big ticket game like Mario or something.
Racketboy's list of [good] cheap PS2 games seems like a good place to start if I do get a PS2, but I have a GameCube and there's a few multiplatform games on that list that are also on GC. So if I do get a PS2 what games do you all recommend? What's attracting me to PS2 is all of these nifty $30 bundles with 3 games in them. *sigh* if only GC got this much love.
it was probably in there because I'm a flaming homosexual.

I hope they release that new design and lower it to $99. When my PS2 broke, I picked up a PS3 so I was able to finish the games I was working on PS2 and still play my unopened PS2 games but I still want the PS2 for games I can't play on my PS3 that require special PS2 controllers like DDR, Beatmania, Pump It Up, In the Groove etc.
