"Pathetic"

Now, firstly i have all 3 consoles and don’t do all that console wars crap "OMG XBOX IZ H00GE!!" etc. But I have to say that Sony are being pathetic.

They are bringing out a smaller console ( [URL]http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/6802/Sonys-Halo-2-Party-Crasher[/URL] ) a week before HALO 2. Rumours say they are delaying GTA:SA a week too so it will coincide with the new sleeker console. And from what i heard they also delayed GT4 a bit longer.

So they are competing "so what?" you may say. But i find it annoying that they cant let each other have some time to shine.

Well PS2s are popular enough. And it is crappy that they've done this. But those with even the slightest bit of sense will buy an Xbox and/or Halo 2.

How much is this re-made PS2 and how many Xbox/PS2 games could you get instead of buying it?

Sounds like a right waste of money to me. re-made console I don't need or some games.... hmmm that IS a tough one.

Remember the PSone?

It's just the same as what they did with that, but now with the PS2.

I also own all 3 consoles, and see nothing wrong with them bringing out the new version of the PS2. If you don't want to buy it, then don't. It's just offering something unique to those who don't own a PS2, you have to admit, it does look pretty cool, even if it is very similar to the standard PS2 performance wise.

As i say, the only people that will buy one is people who were waiting for some incentive other than a price-drop, or those who's PS2's are knackered beyond belief, like mine almost is ;)

For those who are happy with what they have, then the new PS2 won't distract from Halo 2, Pro Evo via Live or whatever else is in the production-line for the X-Box. It's all about preferances in my opinion :|

its going to be £100....mmm just like xbox

The slim design is pretty cool but the PS2 is awful, its only saving grace is a handful of games...GTA:SA etc

I ain't read read any posts in this bit (mostly cos i'm a bit tipsy)but i know what the first Halo was, THE armageddon of games. It crushed every game on earth with it's power in a small amount of time. Halo 2 on the other hand, 50x better+ everywhere is saying. A game with it's single player screenshots and story line kept in secret until release. I spit on PS :-)

Thats a pretty nifty looking re-design.

Still doesnt stop it smelling of ass though.

i agree with daveus. ps2 can kiss my gluteus maximus (not sure about swearing policy in this forum). i'll stick with fable and halo 2. pity those 2 games are out so close together. i want both equally, but i'm not exactly loaded.
