I prefer the ps2 ,not only does it play dvd's, but its also backward compatable. So it not only plays ps2, it plays all my psx games, plus for WeatheredWoman I have all kinds of emulators on my pc so now I have 800 nes,45 snes,101 sega,500 atari,50 gameboy(advance and regular),20 n64,and im working on getting an xbox emulator
