Buying a PS2

Indeed, I'm one who has thought about picking up a PS2 if I could find one cheap enough. Truth is, there are many, many games for it out there that I'd like to play. Perhaps it will become goldmine for bargain hunters like the Dreamcast did. However, I was disappointed with the PS1. I picked one up three or so years ago and never was able to build up a good library for it. Even "bargain bins" tended to price their games too high. I think the backwards compatibility kept the bottom from falling out for these older games.

I also don't get the appeal of the Blu-Ray player. I've heard many times that it's a good reason to buy a PS3, but--well, I just don't see many Blu-Ray disks for sale anywhere. Besides that, I'm definitely not in a position to start replacing my DVD collection with Blu-Ray. Heck, most of my favorite movies were hard enough to find on DVD, much less BR. My guess is the only movies you will be able to find are the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and I really couldn't care less about 99% of them.
