PS3 New or Old???????????

May be...

i've been wanting to get a ps3 for awhile now and i have to choose between this.my uncle is willing to sell me his and it has the ps2 compatablite and i have A LOT of ps2 games or should i buy a new one my uncles is about one or two years old

Buy Your uncles. I've got the last line of PS3's with backwards compatibly and i love it. Your Uncles will probably be cheaper too. Also you can install Linux and it should have 4 usb ports plus the sd card readers.

Buy your uncles, you lucky dog.
