Thanks for all of your input and advice!!

I went ahead and bought the Playstation! But I didn't get the 3 because I looked at amazon at the games available, and wow, there just weren't that many. All of the neat games I've been dying to play over the years (like GTA and the Urbz) were only available for the PS2. The PS2 has TONS of games vs. the new PS3 for right now. And at amazon, I can get these PS2 games for very cheap through Amazon marketplace sellers, some as low as a couple of dollars only!

I figured the PS3 has these hard drives on them so you can save movies and music (which I'm not interested in), and also I think it's made more for HD tv's, like the new LCD's and Plasmas. Well, we don't have a new tv, we have a huge old fashioned CRT type. But it is BIG and just fine for what I need. I bought a used PS2 with everything, including memory card, and 2 games for only $60 SHIPPED! Just what I wanted. I don't care that it is used. And the 2 games I got are 2 I wanted----Crash Bandicoot and the first Grand Theft Auto.

The seller said this version of GTA is a rare one, with some kind of hot coffee thing going on on it. No idea what that hot coffee part is all about, but I love coffee, haha, so it sounded GOOD to me! Maybe I'm supposed to steal a car from a coffee shop or something? Hahaha.

If I'm not happy with my PS2, I can always turn around and auction it right back off on ebay, right? Thanks again you guys for your help. I'm glad I didn't go with the Wii. Surely that Epic Mickey game will one day come out for the PS2 or some other platform sooner or later. or maybe, after the game is released, it turns out to be really crappy. You never know! I'm excited, can't wait for the seller to hurry up and ship my PS2 to me!
