What is the diffrene between ps2 and a ps3?

Question

wondering for my brothers b-day present. what does a ps3.

Answer 1

A PS3 has BlueRay disk player. Web Browser. And a bunch of other stuff like a Game called "Home" thats comeing (only god knows when lol hopefully by the end of ths year) Which is free its like the Sims but alot better looking and online with friends.

It has better running and looking games then 360 don't beleave me ask Square-Enix when the backstabbers said they will wait to realese FF XIII until 360 version is done and they promise they won't touch the PS3 version to bring it down to the 360 version.

We have a really good online system, will be number 1 in 2009.

And our exclusives range from Little big Planet, Killzone 2, Socom, FF XIII Versus, FF XIII (Japan), God of War 3, Heavy Rain, and White Knight Story.

Also to be rumored that Star Ocean 4 will be makeing its way to PS3, as well as, Dead Rising, DeadRising 2 when its announced, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Gears of War 3 but not 2.

And something extreme the next Halo project despite Micromoney owning IP.

So honestly theres the diffrence of the PS2 and PS3. PS3 has more Next Gen games as well as some Exclusives from the last generation comeing to it.  

Answer 2

A Playstation 3 is the new generation of playstation systems.  Playstation 2 is the last generation.  Playstation 2 is incapable of playing any newly released games whereas Playstation 3 can play any Playstation games.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

a ps2 is the older system, its got alot more games and each of the games is cheaper by themselves

a ps3 is much more expensive and has only about 2 dozen games out so far, it can also double as a blue ray player for movies, but a ps3 is not back compatible, so if you get a ps3 then you cant play ps2 games on it

Answer 7

A PS3 is really NOT a Gaming Console...It is a FUTURE- PROOF ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM that will last for 10 years unlike the other consoles. PS2 is last gen so no point in buying something that will be left alone in the dark after a year or two. If he's young though you can buy him a ps2 but the ps3 now is on a role with its game lineup with title for the lower age group...Give the guy a PS3 it will be the best gift you could give to him right now. And a hug..lol

Answer 8

What everyone is saying is all true but they all left out one big clue. Sony did too when I bought my PS3 the first time...

You can play PS2 discs in the PS3 and save games on the hard drive. BUT you have to pony up 600 and get the 80gb system. I had to take mine back just to be able to play all of my old games.

PS3 is basically a game system, computer, media player all in one. But to get the best experience, 80 GB is the way to go.  

Answer 9

ps3 plays ps3 games and is a blu ray player and plays dvds. most ps3's play ps2 games. ps2 only plays ps2 games and dvds. if u got the cash, get ur bro a ps3. if not, get him a ps2

Answer 10

Ermm.. A ps3 is more expensive than a ps2?

Answer 11

Well you get online play for free.You get to have online friends.

There is PlayStation Store, here you can download demos,game updates,trailers, and full games.

You can also get internet access and watch videos on you tube.

It has blu ray.So you can play high definition games and watch high definition movies.

Answer 12

PS3's are much more advanced than PS2's. They have hard drives, advanced processors, better graphics, wireless controllers, use microSD cards for memory cards, and read BluRay/DVD/CD discs. They are almost like gaming PC's; there is even a distribution of Linux that you can install on your PS3 to use like a home computer (with internet, im, etc.). They are, however, not completely backwards compatible.

PS2's can play PS1 games, and play DVD's, and if you know what you're doing, you can install a hard drive and other things on it, but it's just generally less advanced (and less expensive) than a PS3.
