My PS1 works perfectly. But the funny thing is that my PS2 is currently broken and I don't think that I will manage to fix it.

I heard that Xbox live controllers are better. Better grip, longer distance etc. But I don't really care about that, I played with PS controller for more than ten years now and I still like 'em.

Oh and will Audio/Video cable from PS2 work on PS3?*2

*1 Not on the Slim version.
*2 The video cable I'm almost 100% sure it does. No idea about the Audio one.
oh yeah
What do you mean? You can't play PS1 games on slim?

Just tested on my Slim a PS2 game, didn't work, so I doubt a PS1 game will work.

PS The PS2 game works on my Fat PS3
oh yeah
PS3 slims aren't backwards compatible full stop. If you want to run PS1/PS2 games on a PS3 you need one of the early chunky models - keep in mind that even then there's a hefty list of things that don't run on them.
(also note you'd need a 1st gen for the best backwards compatibility - due to hardware changes the later ones aren't as good at it)

It's always better to play on the original consoles anyway, and since you already have them don't get worked up about it.

With regards on which console to buy, just get whichever has the games you want. No point basing a choice on things like free online if you can't get hold of a game you want. Both have good lists of exclusive games depending on your tastes & that should be the driving force behind what you pick.

Also looks like the new series of PS3 fat have only 2USB ports. And PS3's that have 2USB ports will not support PS2 games so meh. Also no, I'm not going to buy a used console just because I will be able to play PS2 games.

So....?

First for xbox live you don't need pay pal or anything of it. If you go to a local gaming store you can buy prepaid cards, all you need really is a valid email address. Secondly go for the xbox 360 slim, you get a massive hard drive, ability to customize it how ever you want(with a little extra cash), not to mention the controllers are generally better, I know this from experience, my brother has a ps3 and I have an xbox, personally I feel the new slim is just amazing you can get the kinect which allows you to play games with out a controller, plus no faulty hardware in the slim. Not to mention as it's been stated before, the online game play is vastly superior to ps3.

My choice for you: Xbox 360 Slim with Kinect
Price: Around 300.00 USD (new)

Questions concerns? Pm me
PS1 games will run on any PS3.
PS2 games will only run on PS3 fat with four usb ports.(As skul said on early chunky models)

I'm planning to buy PS3 slim.

I'll probably buy this one.
http://www.videogame.lt/lt/77-ps3-320-gb-console.html
Costs 343.19 USD(Yes I know it's quite expensive, but meh...Everything is expensive here in Lithuania, I won't get it any cheaper than that).
(Translation):
It comes with:
1. Console 320GB
2. Dualshock 3 joystick(with vibration)
3. Video/Audio cable
4. Power Cord.
5. 12 months guarantee.

Oh and I thought that most of the popular games are relesed on both consoles - xbox360 and ps3?

EDIT:

ATD: You can't buy Xbox prepaid cards in Lithuania. The only way to pay is by credit card.

In all honesty, they're both great, and have their own individual perks and good exclusive games. I'll put the ones I KNOW out there, and then I guess you can decide.

XBOX
-Nice controllers(although since you're used to those I guess it isn't important).
-Better community(more people with mics, friendlier, less tryhards wannabe MLGs).
-Exclusives I enjoy(some are also on pc, though) - Left 4 Dead series, Halo series, Alan Wake, Dead or Alive series, Dead Rising series, Fable series, Tales of Vesperia, Gears of War series, Saints Row, The Orange Box, and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

PS3
-Free online play.
-Less prone to breakdowns(although my xbox hasn't red-ringed and I've had it 6 years).
-Usernames allow chartacters other than letters and numbers
-Exclusives I've heard are good and are received well: Uncharted series, LittleBigPlanet series, Resistance series, Katamari series, Most "Tales of" games, Heavy Rain, God of War series, inFamous series, and the Yakuza series.

As you can see, they both offer a lot. It's really just which exclusives you prefer. For me, Xbox, but it's all preference.

I'd probably buy Xbox if I lived in a country where xbox is popular and you can buy those Xbox live cards in every local gamming shop. Sadly I can't...

For the amount of stuff it comes with, I'd say the price is fair.
I'm guessing you prefer new consoles, but if you bought a console that belonged to someone else before (I can't remember the term in English. Damn you memory), it would be much cheaper But it's all up to you.

What games are you planning to buy?

oh yeah
I'll not hide it, I'm going to chip the console or use the jailbreak. So I will most likely download any games I want. I'll start from Final Fantasy series.

Also I don't really want to buy a used console. It'd be cheaper by only 30-60dollars.
