What do you actually think of the Playstation2.
Is it what you expected or hoped for?

Nintendo's gamecube is no match for even sega,s dreamcast. Their launch day keeps on sliping and it looks like us in the uk are going to get their next-gen console probably the end of next year or 2003. Infact they are cowards thats why their launch day keeps on sliping. The only competition for xbox is the Ps2 because by the time xbox is launched there will be good quality games on Ps2.

One question, what would you get by then? Final Fantasy 10 on the Ps2 or the Xbox. I would go for the Xbox version. This also goes for other games that will be on both these consoles.

Kid Rock, Syphon Filter 3 is on the PS1, not PS2. X-Box will have some great games on it. They are planning a special X-Box only version of MGS. They have DoA3, Halo, and a few other good games confirmed.
All the games you listed in your PS2 list arent out, and wont be out til late this year. Some of the titles I havent really heard of e.g. Mummy Returns and Matrix. They may have the rights to them but will they actually be out before the end of the year. Also movie till in games usually end up being very poor indeed.
I dont think you are giving the X-Box a chance. The raw power of the console is better than the PS2, its main graphics chip is the Geforce 3. Good game will come out for the X-Box as there are quite a few good ones already being made. Dont forget the PS2 didnt have many good games at launch, well there were a few good games but nothing that was really special. I had my PS2 at launch and got TTT, RR5 and TS. Then my next new game was Z.O.E when it was released, then I got SoM and Starwars.
I know that the PS2 is good its very good and has some of the best games coming out this year. But give the X-Box a chance, I dont want Microsoft to completely take over the market like thay have with PC's. But I think if Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft all do well then its better for us.

im getting sick of all these consoles coming out. what made me puke was when i ordered my ps2, i was waitinfg and somewhere i read sony are planning ps3.
what do the tv adverts mean when they say third place anyway?
kidrock:youu were right, no good games coming out on x-box. the console dont sound that good anyway. i remember more than a year before ps2 came out people were talkin about it and no1 ever says anything about x-box. unless you talk in one of the gay x-box rooms(dont say i do because i only go to say bad things)

I don't see the point in having "console wars" arguments, I used to take the micky out of a mate of mine after I bought my PS just after launch day 5 years ago, he then went out and bought a Saturn!

3 months later he'd gone out and bought a PS which didn't surprise me but I have now got to the point where I just think that if people go out and buy a console then they've made their choice and should stick with it.

If they think they've made a wrong decision then they should be the ones to rectify it, if they're happy with it then so be it!

Although I've never played or really paid any attention to the DC console it probably is much better graphically etc than the PS but now I just don't care....I'm happy with what I've got (PS and PS2) and think that Sony have done a great job and also the software developers!

It`ll be interesting to see how console wars unfolds, however, I see little point in arguing about it until another console is released.
