Capcom make great games, but suck at keeping promises.
Of course more people have got PS2's than Gamecubes. IT HASN'T COME OUT OVER HERE YET!!!!
I am a proud owner of the PS2 just like you but I am also getting a GameCube. I cannot see anything wrong with the new Nintendo at all. OK, it doesn't play DVD's. Some people already have DVD players and PS2's without the need of another. Plus games such as Sega's PSO, Resident Evil, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Starfox, Pikmin, Pokemon, will never hit the black box of tricks. If I were you, I would think twice before taking the mickey out of the N-cube. P.S. the 'cube has a higher CPU capacity than the PS2.
Five years ago, Capcom gave birth to the "survival horror" with the absolute classic of a game, Resident Evil. It had good graphics for back then, the greatest storyline ever put into a game, and a hauntingly spectacular soundtrack. Of course, this game was released on the PlayStation.
A couple of years later, the world saw Resident Evil 2, which featured better graphics, better gameplay, great storyline, and on of the best soundtracks on a game to date. This too was released on the PlayStation.
Then we saw Survivor, a rather timid and, how shall I put this, oh I know, crap attempt at mixing Survival horror with First Person shooting. Good game, just too damn short.
Then, the mind-blowing Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released. A true gem of a game. An average storyline, but great graphics and random puzzles / battles made up for this.
Then, to my horror, Capcom announced they were to release Code Veronica for the Dreamcast. As a die-hard Resi fan, I was appalled, and refused to buy a dreamcast just for one game. Luckily, all was forgiven a year ago, when Capcom announced they were to release a BETTER version of Code Veronica for the PS2 (which I had already planned on getting). Like I said, all was forgiven, Resident Evil had come back to it's rightful home.
A little later, suspicion starts to arise amongst PS Resi fans when Resi 2 and Nemesis are released for Dreamcast and N64, but when Capcom finalise Code Veronica for the PS2, their minds are put at rest.
But now, Capcom have done it again, they have abandoned their home and have broken promises to stay faithful to Sony by announcing the EXCLUSIVE (for all you dumb-asses out their, that means one and no other) re-release of Resi 1, 2, 3 AND Code Veronica for GAMECUBE! The ****** Gamecube! NOBODY wants a Gamecube! PS2 has everything of a Gamecube and more, plus more people own it / want to buy it! These exclusive re-releases will feature amazing graphics (superb) and a whole load of extra plot details, which is just taking the **** for me, a fan of the Resi storylines. And to rub it in even more, they've announced that the "exclusive" release of Reisdent Evil 4, which was to be exclusive to PS2, is now for the Gamecube.
I am now ****** off completely with Capcom, and I am NOT willing to buy a Gamecube. No. I believe that Capcom should stop being the traitorous gits that they are, and either:
a) stay faithful to the PS 2, or
b) release their games on all next-gen platforms.
This isn't the first time Capcom have broken their promise Resi Wise. There's Code Veronica going to Dreamcast, Resident Evil 4 now for Gamecube, The Original Resident Evil 2 scrapped, and Resident Evil for the gameboy scrapped.

THAT is a good plan.
I'll remember that.
But who would pick up the logs and wrap them in toilet paper though? Urgh!
Like the Oddword people, when they went to MS with dollar signs in their eyes, and Sony got dog logs wrapped in toilet paper and put them on their doorstep and lit them (so when they answered the door and saw the fire, they would stamp it out and walk muck round their building)...
