Topic: PS2: worth getting now?

If so, what are some good games for it?

I think it was worth getting about a decade ago... BUT whatever. The Metal Gear series, Ratchet series, Sly Cooper series and I've heard good things about the Jak series... Oh! Ico and Shadow of the colossus! Though, I've heard its not for everyone...

Star wars battlefront 1&2.
Sly cooper 1-3.
Mercenaries.
Splinter Cell.
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.
Rise to Honor. (It's good Kung Fu fun)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Kingdom Hearts 1&2. (Avoid chain of memories. It shouldn't have been made and is terrible.)
Spider-Man 2.

Yes!! I still play mine all time.
Tony Hawk
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Riders Zero Gravity
Call of Duty 2&3 (still play online)

Geeze of course you should still get it! I still want one very much!

But where could I buy one? eBay's a ripoff...

Did you try amazon? Might one of your gamestops have it?

They're like 50-70$...

What price are you looking for? And what condition is the minimum?

x > 45$

$50-70 is a good price, much cheaper than current consoles of how it would cost in its day.

Also, is Sonic Riders (original) better, or is Zero Gravity better?

I find Riders 1 Better than Zero Gravity.

Before the prices go up, yes. There are over 1000 games for it. If you can find, like, 10 you like, it'll be more than worth the ~$50-$100.

One question remains: Amazon's liability.

I'm thinking of purchasing from a seller called EZCORP. I've seen their nane multiple times on the site for video-game related wares. Their ratings are pretty good, but I've only ever made two purchases from Amazon (Hyrule Hystoria was a bit more f a special case, since it was 1st party). However, my other purchase was good, so should I trust this EZCORP?

Ya, check out the list I game. It has the Top 100 PS2 games.

Anything you have against Amazon?

Does the one second from the top work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000C7GHG/ref=dp_olp_...
Edit: ninja'd. He already found it.

@CanisWolfred previously brought up a good point; there are no produc pictures on Amazon. Someone could be lying through their teeth...
