Do you still play PS2, XBOX, or Gamecube games?

I play my PS2 games on my PS3 all the time, but I'm wondering if any of you guys do the same. It's also great that you can PS2 games for dirt cheap now at Gamestop/EB Games... I just got Red Faction II for $4.99!! 
 
So anyway, going back to my original question: do you guys still play PS2, XBOX, or Gamecube games, or have you "moved on" from that generation?

Some of my favorite games are from that generation. Metroid Prime, Persona 3, Kingdom Hearts 2...new titles are great, but sometimes the older generations are just more enjoyable.

Because like Citizen Cane, you can revisit these masterpieces again and again!

Joking aside, I like me some Wave Race: Blue Storm from time to time. Something about this game just.. relaxes me. There are a lot of older games that hold up pretty well for me, since I´m not that much of a graphics whore. The only thing that bothers me are old PC games that don´t run well at all on modern systems. And that I remember almost everything about these games, so I can´t replay the whole thing since I will get bored quickly.

Actually, a lot of games from back then still look pretty good, mostly.

I would still play certain Ps2/XBOX games if I still had my PS2 and Xbox.

I got a ps2 slim last year to play some old games that I didn't get to play when they came out since I only has an Xbox 1 back in those days.

When I will have finished Persona 4, I have Final Fantasy 12 and Persona 3 FES (and more) to play on the ps2.

A ton. My Wii might as well be a Gamecube, and I still play a lot of PS2 and XBOX games I missed out on.

I haven't in well over a year. I'd never sell any of the games because I like the idea that I could go back and play them if I wanted to, but in practice they just collect dust. Most of my modern gen games are just collecting dust as well though.

I still play xbox games from time to time, but not the games that most people would think of. The only time I play the xbox is to play Fuzion Frenzy, the Haunted Mansion, Tiger Woods 06, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, and others. I just use it to play games I really cannot play anymore, and I loved (and still love) all those games that I mentioned.

Nope. I've sold all my PS2/Xbox/G-Cube games. But I've bought some games from that era for the PC...Does that count?

I still play all three! Especially the gamecube. Although I'm trying really hard to find this game on that platform. Here's the description:

A man is killed in broad daylight after he exits his home (I'm assuming he's Japanese. He is gorgeous with beautiful white hair). He is stabbed in the back. He is revived by an androgynous creature (a type of spirit) that tells him that he will help him find out who killed him. If he finds out who kills him, he will be able to stop his death from happening. The man must delve in his past (using time travel) to piece clues together to find out whom has killed him. I know I LOVE this game but I have no idea what it is called.

I don't think there is any reason to get rid of old consoles though.

I'm way behind the times - sadly, I don't own a single current-generation console. I recently got Persona 4 on the PS2 after watching the Endurance Run. I'm almost finished but I find the dungeons kind of tedious so I haven't played in a while, even though I was planning to finish and finish a full-social-link New Game+ over the summer. At some point I'll probably get over that hump and start a new game.
I also recently played Windwaker on the Gamecube and finally finished the Nintendo Gallery after perhaps 7-8 years of owning the game. I went back and replayed Super Mario Sunshine for a bit a few years ago as well.
 
My most recent game purchase was also a relatively old game, although not on a console - I got Assassin's Creed 2 as a download after seeing it for seven buck or something on Amazon. That's still pretty new compared to Persona 4 or Windwaker though.

Ever since my old PS3 with BC died I haven't touched my PS2 games. I kinda want to go back and play my last gen games again because the drought of games between now and September is going to be long.

Yeah I do. I'm currently in the middle of playing Resident Evil Remake. Also set my ps2 up once a month and play some Persona 4. I also intend to finish the following PS2 games

  • Silent Hill 2,3,4
  • Project Zero (Fatal Frame)
  • Persona 3 FES (Will most likely only play The Answer since I am doing the main game on my psp)

PS2 is currently the only console I own and I have it for my Metal Gear fix, but once the PSV comes out and I can play Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 in my hands I will probably never touch my PS2 again.

On rare occasions, yes. Not anytime lately. I'd still love to play Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2, but neither of my Xbox controllers work anymore, and it's not compatible with the 360. The controllers are $50 new online. I'm not buying a used controller, so forget it.
 
Also, turns out if I wanted to buy KOTOR2, I'm looking at a $120 purchase. I could always play it on PC, but... naw....

Indeedly. Been catching up on the Jak series lately, and have... attempted... to get into the Legacy of Kain series. Soul Reaver 2 crashed during the opening cutscene and Blood Omen 2 is just fucking awful, not by the standards of today but just simply awful; I tried the finale, Defiance, too. It's a lil better than Omen 2, but I still didn't get very far...  
 
It's weird why that series is so heralded when only like two out of the franchise of five are any good. Are Kain and Raziel really that engrossing as characters? 
 
I've also recently been heading back into PS1 games too. Gone through both Fear Effect games just because, and also trekking through Crash Bandicoot 2. So surprised at how well it holds up. The controls are so smooth and responsive, and those levels were you're running away from Boulders/Mutant T-Virus infected Polar Bears are still awesome.

I have a PS2 hooked up to my TV at all with a Persona 4 disc in it. It has been that way for months and I expect it to be the same for many years.

Nope, but I've been thinking of giving Shadows of the Colossus another whirl lately.  Just don't want to get the old PS2 out of the basement.  I sure wish my PS3 was backwards compatible  :(

I frequently play old games. Not just from the PS2/Xbox/GameCube generation, but also games that pre-date those consoles. In fact, right now I'm playing through the Xbox version of Fable: The Lost Chapters. I don't find the antiquated graphics or mechanics in games like that to be much of a hurdle.

I just finished playing through Luigi's Mansion and have begun playing Pikmin for the first time. I purchased a bunch of ps2/gc games for dirt cheap over the last few years, mainly ones I always heard were great but never got around to playing. I try to play one of those every couple of months. I am considering tackling Final Fantasy 12 or Persona 3 next.

I've been spoiled by HD and wireless controllers. It's hard for me to go back in most cases. Also, most of the games I've missed out on last generation, are coming back in HD. I'm going to buy the Splinter Cell and Silent HIll collections this fall.
