Which should I get?

Post by TheBrick »

I want to get a new console, but I can't make up my mind on which I should get. Should I get a Super NES, Sega Saturn, or a PS2/3?
I have a budget of about $100 right now, possibly more since my birthday's coming up soon, if that helps any.
Consoles: N64, Wii, Dreamcast, PS2, SNES, Saturn, Genesis, PS3, NES, Wii U, 2600, PS4
Handhelds: Game Boy Advance, 3DS, PSP, New 3DS

I think a Saturn, 3D pad, NiGHTS, Darius Gaiden, Galactic Attack and Panzer Dragoon is just about the best way possible to spend $100.

It depends on a few factors:

What types of games do you like?
What sort of ongoing budget for games do you have?

For example, if you really like RPGs you might be better off with the PS2 because the majority of the good SNES RPGs command high prices these days.

You only have $100 right now, and won't get more until your birthday?

That tells me you probably don't have a job or any steady source of income. With that in mind, I'd probably suggest you get a ps2. It's pretty cheap, games are very abundant and cheap right now as well.

Based on the systems you already own, I suggest PS2.

Do you want to own the best console of all time? If so, get a Super Nintendo.

He already has a GBA, which has a lot of SNES ports. A PS2 would be totally fresh. Besides, the PS2 can play PS1 games as well while a SNES only plays SNES games.
