Depends how u wanna play..PS2 have nice games esp tekken which is my fav. i'm not very fond of small screen psp games. also i think u can get the games in the souq for like 15 bucks or so. If your buying the ps2 see that it comes with the modded chip which allows u to play the copied games from the souq..else u can just dish out 200-300 bucks per game. PS2 will cost u around 700 bucks, last time i checked in the souq it was 900 with the modded chip. PS3 will cost u 2500QR.
