    Default What should I do now? Ps2 Broken. Xbox Broken. Help!

    Long story short about my xbox's. The first one I bought I tried to mod it and the second one I bought was off of Ebay and sounded like a Windows 95 Computer when you started it up. That one broke eveuntally too but not by me, it just started giving me a No Disc error message.
    I have at least 10 more Xbox games that I need to play because of their awsomeness but that's gone down the toilet. Gamestop offers pre owned ones for $50. What should I do?

    Now for the PS2. I've had this since launch date. But controller port 1 is broken. And i don't know if i can play all my games using controller port 2 for one player. To buy a pre owned one is another $50. I've been thinking about getting a PS3 for a long time now but it's just too expensive. What should I do?

    Help!

    If you got money to spend, buy NEW Ps2 and Xbox consoles; you can get the new slim model of the Ps2 and check on several online sites for a new Xbox.

    You can also buy a PS3, it has nice games

    How exactly did you break your xbox trying to mod it? Generally speaking, unless you physically damage the thing they're nearly impossible to kill outright.

    you can get a used ps2/xbox for under $60 a piece easily. like a previous poster said, you could go to craigslist and find both for dirt cheap in many cases.

    For the Xbox-the DVD drive tends to crap out on those things fairly easily. Unless you've got some data on that box that just won't copy to a memory card, get another used. It'd be cheaper than trying to get your hands on a Samsung Xbox drive these days. I really haven't seen a NEW Xbox at a decent price. At least, not that I would have been willing to spend.

    I'd agree with those that said buy a new PS2 Slim. More reliable and brand new to boot.

    As are flea markets and local yard sales. That way you can get a good price without worrying about any shipping cost. There are tons of cheap Xbox'x and PS2's listed on my local craigs list.
