PS2 Console or Emulator?

Which are better? Using PCSX2 or buy and play on PS2 Console?

Depends on the game and your PC, if you just want to play all PS2 games without problems a PS2 is still best. Not all games work well with PCSX2, and your computer might just be too slow to play some of them at a comfortable level.

Depends. If you want to play ps2 games completely legally you need a ps2. If you want to get support in this forum you need to own a ps2.

If you like nostalgia get a ps2 and a crt monitor.
If you like hd graphics and other neat stuff get a ps2, a nice pc and run pcsx2.

In both case, you need to buy a PS2 console anyways.

So, the best choice is to buy a PS2. Once you have your PS2, why not trying pcsx2 ?

For clarity; you need the PS2 to extract the bios, and you need the PS2 games to make an ISO(or play from disc) to use PCSX2 legally.
