Getting a pre-owned slim for 45 bucks and there's also a buy 2 used games get one free deal so I'm wondering what three used games I should get. So what are must-owns for the PS2?

Shadow of the Colossus

Sly 2

Enjoy!!!!

star wars battlefront (II), if you're into shooters.

Third.....

Well I'd recommend Okage the Shadow King if you like RPG's....and can find it.
If not, then Dark Cloud. Preferably Dark Cloud 2.

and if you are just getting a ps2 now id suggest you check out the 3 main gta games on that console.

the mgs games are also pretty awesome.

guitar hero 1 & 2 if you are into that stuff.

burnout 3 and revenge

gran turismo 4

thanks for the suggestions guys i appreciate

Yeah, MGS 2 and Snake Eater are must owns.

Bam.

Just off the top of my head.

Shadow of the Colossus
Ico
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Tekken 5
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
Resident Evil 4
Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry 3
Gran Turismo 3
God of War
Okami
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Timesplitters 2
Silent Hill 2
Red Faction

"Yeah, MGS 2 and Snake Eater are must owns."

Jak 3
Final Fantasy X
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Metal Gears 2 and 3
Okami
GTA: San Andreas
Any of the Disgaeas

And that's what I can think of now, but there are plenty more. You can't go wrong with any of these.

EDIT: There's also the Xenosaga trilogy. Those are really really good.

Totally forgot Snake Eater. Yeah, get that. For sure."

my favs are the jak games. i would highly recommend them. also final fantasy games.

There're a lot more than just 3 must-owns for PS2, but if you can only get 3 I'd make them all different genres:

Dragon Quest VIII (screw Final Fantasy; this is the best JRPG of all time; get it at all costs)
God Hand (3D brawler; probably the most challenging game on the PS2)
Jak II or 3 (GTA clone/platformer hybrid)

The Jak Series, God of War 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid 2&3 and alot of others.

God of War 1 and 2

Katamari

God of War 1 & 2, Prince of Persia (ALL), Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry 3, Metal Gear Solid, or Shadow of the Colossus.

Pretty sure both God of War games, Shadow of the Collosus, and MGS 2 & 3 are pretty essential games for the system.
