PSP or PS2?

I have a choice. I could buy a PS2 with Espgaluda or Buy a PSP with Final Fantasy Tactics. I can't decide. You can decide for me.

PSP by far, considering how its library is still growing and has various PS2 ports and vice-versa as well as unique games you cant find anywhere else like Patapon.

You dont have a PS2???? Why the hell not?

Definitely a PS2. You can just hunt down the PS1 version of Tactics then.

Get a PSP. That system has some life left in it, while the PS2 is dying.

Get a PS2. That console (ignoring it killing the dreamcast) has one of the best libraries anybody could ask for, not to mention 100% backwards compatability with PS1. Plus, its a hell of a lot cheaper than a PSP.
Also, the aforementioned PS2 ports to PSP are usually pretty shocking. Tomb Raider Anniversary in particular, pales in comparison to the original.
And maybe its just me, but i cant play strategy games that demand hours of gameplay on a four inch screen.

GET A PS2!

Keep in mind that I would be purchasing a Japanese PS2, not the U.S. model.

A console and a handheld differ by so much you should be able to answer this better than any of us are - how are you going to use it?

If you like to have some gaming on the go (and don't currently have another handheld), yet already have some console, then get the PSP. It is very likely you have a PC, and that can let you emulate *something*, as far as playing in a fixed place goes you probably have enough horsepower to emulate PS1, if not at least SNES or Genesis. So I lean towards the PSP. Unless of course a DS is an option (although by all records, FFT > FFTA, you can get the GBA Tactics Ogre on the DS).

I think you'd an even larger library of games then in the US (assuming you live in Japan where you can visit used game stores).

PSP on the other hand is region free for games.

I said PSP because I love mine so much and they're now cheaper and better and have some great games. If you're into FF Tactics, there's a whole bunch of games for you on PSP. But next time you have a few bucks, get a PS2 as well, c'mon!
