Is it worth selling my ps2 and 21 games and controller, memory stick? I mean who would want to buy it these days, there are people who will not even buy ps3. What will you do with your ps2?

There are still games on ps2 worth playing but I dont think there is a lot of people who do. Maybe take it all to a game store for store credit.

I tried to sell My PS2 with a bunch of games and a rare Ace Combat 5 bundle with the Saitek stick at one of those game stores. They offered me $23. I told him, for $23, I'd rather smash it in the parking lot than let them turn around and sell it for 3 or 4 times that much.

I played my PS2 yesterday. I have my Dreamcast set up as well.

Granted, I also still have a Gensis that gets regular use, as well as a TGFX 16, NES, SNES and Caleco that all see a decent amount of attention. So my opinion's slightly slanted.





However I'd say hold onto the PS2 for a few years. They're getting increasingly rare and people are abusing the crap out of them. The'll eventually command a better sum, and the $20 or so you'll get for console wont make a dent in the new consoles price. About ten years ago acquired a mint 3D0 in box with about 30 games for $50, today some of those games will sell for that price alone. The retro gaming is a roller coaster, but if you cam hold off there's a chance some of the more obscure games can command as much as the original price. More to the point: an NES-101 not even in the original box, but still commands almost $200. Wise money isn't dumping the system now.
