I will be buying a PS2 next Christmas because of MGS2, Starfighter, Silent Hill 2 and Rayman 2: Revolution. That's it. At least, those are all the games I'm interested in right now.

Crazy Taxi, SW Racer, SBR, JPB, Demolition, Half-Life, Shenmue, Unreal Tournament...need I go on? besides, I couldn't change my mind, even if I wanted to.

Yes, that is another top game I forgot to mention. I'm tired, that's all...

Yes, they will. I'm not saying the PS2 will crash and burn within a few months. But, as of the launch, there are NO GOOD TITLES. MGS2 will be out this time next year, and Unreal and SBR will be out on DC as well. It's not worth the money to buy one now. It's still not worth Ј300 in March, but at least then the good titles will be announced and out.

Pssst! Dave!

I think Oddworld is lying, and Munch is still coming out for PS2. My proof? A book I just got through the post (which was printed fresh) says Munch is still on.

Psst, Tom. A book through the post is hardly an official source. If it was still on, it would have been posted on www.oddworld.com). (http://www.oddworld.com.) Some stores have taken pre-orders for the game, and have had to return the money to the customers.

*gulp* Okay, apology time...

Yes, I too got an official PS2 book through the post. But this is how "up to date" the list is:

They spelt "Munch" with an "e". They also say Abe wears a "nappy".
I cancelled my order on the 29th October. It's taken them over two weeks to send this.
The book was published early October. Munch's Oddysee was cancelled from the lineup 24th October.


And even MORE bad news...Check here (http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/Forum25/HTML/000028.html).

Ah. What a nice landscape. Gee, now I feel like paying over Ј300 for a PS2 on Ebay, just so I can look at this landscape over and over again. It really is beautiful, the way you can clearly see the sharp sides of the ships against the wonderfully blended scenery. How it makes your eyes immediately focus on the rough edges of the ships. How they have detracted from blending the sides, just to make the landscape that much more pretty.

I'm fed up of having this conversation now. I'm fed up of having to point out the flaws of the PS2 over and over again. Especially when i have to point them out to you at school as well.

And so, I will leave you all now.

THEN STOP DOING IT! Jeez, just because you're not going to spend Ј300 on a really good console dosen't mean you have to ***** on flaws that it DOES NOT HAVE - just to make the Drecamcast look good.

I respect everyone else's views and contributions about the 'console war' as it seems. On what I hope will be the last we will sit here and bicker about Sony and Sega, I leave this now with a couple of words...

I ordered a PS2. I am not proud or ashamed to have done so, and as of now I don't care what fellow gamers think.

Bye.

Err...I think you guys are taking this one step to far...

You two seem like pretty good friends, but now you are letting a console get between you!! Wow, never knew gaming would reach that stage...

Hey Pedro, Shenmue is out here! http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/biggrin.gif)

I didn't buy it yet, kinda short on cash. I'll probably get it for my B-Day in a month!

Gary, that is just what I thought. As for the 'Gay'station, Why???

The PS2 is just a more faster (and expensive) version of the DC (with some lousy aunch titles) http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/frown.gif)

You got your DC, so what are you complaining about?

I didn't buy Bleem! (although I still could). I don't even use it frankly.. I use VGS when I do play PSX games (rarely).

They each cost about the same price as a new game ($50) where I'm at. But I'm sure you can find them cheaper if you look hard enough.

Arguing over the best console is like arguing over the best music or the best flavour of ice cream. Honestly, does it really matter that much? Obviously it does to the companies that make the money. They'll let you believe anything so long as they outsell their competitors. As to which system is "better," that all depends on your own expectations and preferences.

For my money I would get a DC, mainly because the PS2 has very little to offer me that I don't already have access to (I have a DVD-Rom, a great PC, access to fast PSX emulators, etc). For me the judge of a system is the quantity and quality of games it has (and that is based on what kinds of games I like), and the overall cost of that investment. You can decide for yourself what you spend your own money on, I say.

Darth_simpson, you lucky person.
I still have to wait 13 more days(if it doesn't get delayed), good thing I already saved some money so I can get on the day of release. But hey, at least Metropolis Street Racer was released first in europe.(I still don't have it tough, I got JPB instead)

The thing is I am getting pi$$ed with my PC because it crashes all the time (and I think the monitor is giving me eye-cancer, they really hurt!). I pre-ordered myself a PS2 because I believe it will be really popular in the future - and I will be bored this christmas anyway!


My last point:

If you have a DC, be happy with it.
If you have a PS2, be happy with it.
If you have a good 'ol PC, be happy with it.

It's not about the console, it's about the great selection of Star Wars games.
