    Console gaming isn't like pc gaming, games are tethered to a particular console unless they're big enough to get "remasters".
    So the PS2 library is exclusive to that particular console, if you want to enjoy those games you need to keep one around.
    Some people will point to emulation but that is never as good as playing natively on the original console, so they will always serve a purpose.

    You can also mod the PS2 to run the games off a USB stick or external HDD

    I'm not sure what emulation is like on PS2 but I imagine it can run anything up to the N64

    You can't run games off of a USB drive or USB connected hard drive, the PS2 USB port is really outdated so the read speed is too slow to run the games properly without hiccups.
    The only non disc method that works properly is if you have an older PS2 that supports the hard drive addon and happen to have one of the PS2 hard drives (the ones that were required if you wanted to play games like Final Fantasy XI).

    I haven't been able to get games to run off ethernet but freemcboot does allow for it.

    PS3 doesn't have any games

    it does when you bypass the security and cram 7 generations of games on an HDD

    the only way you can get good gaems on the pc is to emulate ones that were made for consoles

    A console is just a shitty pc with specific hardware requirements

    I'd buy a console if they could run linux.

    Otherwise I can't justify paying money to have in my home something I wouldn't even really control.

    new iphones come out yearly. Consoles are generally a huge jump in technology from the previous generation. Poor comparison.

    Uh no, how is that relevant? They're not, no more a technological jump than iPhones spaced the same time apart. Its retarded either way, of course your newest shit is your best shit, it should be, that's like a fucking prerequisite.
