huh? where is this gift card for? what kind of a place has a PS3 for $149 and a PS2 for $249 with the #1 selling point being its backwards compatibility?
I'd get myself a nintendo 3DS as opposed to a PS3 if a $50 giftcard was the #1 draw. But then again, I tend to like games, especially of the more oldschool variety (you'll never see me wearing a headset playing call of duty. I grew up playing vquakeworld, thank you, I have dignity) although idk if you can still do the DS custom/ish SD card holder thing that allows you to roms. Shit, if they have old gear and you can get a hold of that SD card thingy that allows you to play roms, getting a proper nintendo DS wouldn't be a bad way to go. The castlevania SOTN/esque series of games on the DS are a proper load of fun, even if the difficulty is watered down for the Adderall generation.
also, if you could find a way to emulate vintage games en masse on it, i'd sooner go with a nice cheap refurbished PSP as opposed to the new stuff, again, if the $50 gift card is the draw. If you don't own a PS3 and only having a $50 discount dangled in your face makes you want to get one, i'd look into getting a system that's known to have NES/SNES/Genesis/etc emulators where you'd be able to download ROM libraries of the entire games collections and go to town on it. I've got a wii hooked up with the emulators in "the homebrew channel" and if you've got that SNES style "classic game pad" combined with all of the games for those systems on an ~8/16gb SD card, holy shit that's bliss right there. Save state helps with Battletoads, btw.
