PIZ Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Walmart apparently doesn't have any. Is there anywhere else that would have one. Maybe I should have her get Playstation 2 for me instead. Both my brothers have XBOX, and they say to get one instead of Playstation 2. So, where's the best place to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonz Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 If you're in the Buffalo area try SAMS club - They have a nice bundle for $179.00 that includes 2 controllers and 2 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play sports games, DEFINATELY go with Xbox (and get a subscription to Xbox Live as well). PS2 people will say that they have the most games so you should buy that. While it's true they have the most games, most of the games suck. So don't buy into that hype. If you like playing RPGs (like Final Fantasy), PS2 is probably a better choice for you. I personally have both... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Thanks for all the tips. I gave her CircuitCity.com and Gamestop.com. Fezmid, my favorite games are sports games (ATV, NFL, NCAA, Basketball), driving games, and probably my favorite type of game is shooting games like Metal Gear Solid (yeah, last system I had was PS1) I'm hoping that if I get XBOX I can find some games for my son to play. He's 6. But the game will be mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only play the PS2 for the "exclusive" games ( DragonBall Z, etc ). I am having a BALL with Ghost Recon 2 - That game is F U N! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the VFL and we play one game a week. http://www.thevfl.com). You'll probably want to pick up Halo 2 if you like shooting games. I'm sure you'll be able to find some games for your son. The skateboarding games seem pretty popular and are kid-friendly. Not sure what other games there are (as I don't buy many games in general), but you'll find stuff.

PIZ Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Okay, say I get it for Xmas. Which games should I get? Here's what I'm thinking. Any more must haves? 1. Halo 2. 2. Some kids games---Have no idea which to get. 3. Are the Hunting Games any good? 4. I'll probably wait until next season for an NFL game. 5. Ghost Recon 2.

Fezmid Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Dell - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/product...9&page=external 148445[/snapback] That bundle was cheaper at Amazon... Anyway, as for "must have" games: Halo 2 (as you noted) NFL2k5 (it's $20, maybe less now, you won't be disappointed) NHL2k5 (it's also $20 -- havn't played it, but heard it was really good) Grand Theft Auto doublepack (assuming you havn't played it already elsewhere; it includes the original and Vice City). Ghost Recon, as you said, is also supposed to be good (havn't played it). CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure 4. Yes, wait until next season...if you buy xbox now, it comes with ncaa football 2005, so at least you get your football fix. Plus, in madden 2006, you know McGahee and Evans are going to be sweet ;-) 5. Not sure Also, if you like racing games, I just got Colin McRae Rally 2005....its rally only, but really cool. Oh, and ESPN NHL 2k5 is a good hockey game, and it is only $20 retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I bought one for my kids on Friday night at Game Crazy (associated with Hollywood Video). They had lots of units available, but alot of places are selling out. Scored on the Holiday Bundle, which includes ESPN's NCAA Football and Top Spin, whatever that is... Also picked up Madden 2005 (on sale for 29.99!) and an excercise tape for Mama Griz - she's into that kinda stuff... While shopping around, we learned that PS2 has some serious defects with their new, smaller unit. Apparently, they began producing these cheaper units a few months back to keep up with the reduced Xbox price of $149.00. It's led to a 20,000 unit recall. Anyway, it seemed like Xbox was the way to go. Can't wait til Christmas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
