"I Think I Have Lost My Faith....."

There comes a time in every man's life when he doubt's his faith and I am at that time. No I'm not talking about religion, I lost my faith in that years ago. I'm talking about consoles. I think I may have lost my faith in Nintendo and I think I am close to giving in to Sony after 5 long years.

I am of course talking about which console to buy. Now this is not another console wars topic. It's just that I can't decide whether to get a GameCube or a PS2. Up until a few days ago I had my mind firmly set on the GC. Now however, I'm not so sure. There was a time just before the PS2's release when I was planning on getting one (it was the MGS2 video that really persuaded me) but my brother talked me into to getting a Dreamcast instead. "It's half the price" he'd say "with 6 games!!!" In the end, I crumbled and split him on the DC and I have truly regretted it.

So, I really don't want to make the same mistake again. Now after looking at a few more videos and games being released for the PS2, I'm back to deciding what to get again. Yes, it's another MGS2 video that really got me thinkng. But then there's GT3 and GTA3, both PS2 exclusives. However, on the other side, I have Rogue Leader, Mario, Perfect Dark, and basically Nintendo and Rare games on the whole. AARRGGHH this is so difficult.

I suppose what I could do is get a PS2 at Christmas and then wait until my Birthday (end of June) to get a GC or even wait till Christmas. And I suppose then, I may even decide that I don't want a GC because I've fallen in love with my PS2.

I don't even know why I'm asking because I'm sure I'll get a lot of "Sony Rules" and "Nintendo reign supreme" (in fact that's a good one, I'll have to remeber that :-D). The fact is though, I want you to help me to decide just by writing ideas or by telling me what console you think I should get. In fact, what would be even better is if someone who was a Ninty and bought a PS2 could tell me what they think of their PS2.

You know this probably isn't going to affect me at all but I must try. What make's it harder though, is that my brother is going off to University next year so I can't split the console with him.

You know, I may just have to go round my 'friends' house (who I actually hate) and play GTA3 and GT3. Goddamm this is so difficult.

The new Zelda probably has a big part in this as well subconsciencly.

GC will get a spring or Summer at latest release in UK.

I'd put money on it. (but I'm skint :D)

Yes but doubt is clouding my mind.

I was thinking back on how many games there were for the DC that made me buy it. I really don't want to make the same mistake.

I must find out when GC is being released. If it is September or there abouts, then I'm definitely getting a PS2.

You're never right Ant.

Nah, I don't think so. I was right when I said the GC wouldn't be out this year, and I'll be right about this too.

Also, MGS2 is released sometime in February.

Nope, still Spring Ant.

MGS2 is due before Xmas in the US, a few weeks later in Japan, and early next year (January/February) in the UK.

Vottanator, in case you don't know, the GameCube will most likely not be released in the spring now, more likely in the autumn. This is because Nintendo apparently don't really care about the European market.

PS2 it is then. :D

Riiiiiiiight....


....So, does anyone know when MGS2 is coming out? :-D

The eventual release of MGS2 is a perpetual myth propagated by Sony to hype up their machine.

Well, I think I am going to get a PS2 at Christmas with GT3, GTA3 and MGS2.

When is MGS2 out by the way?

I'm probably gonna get a GameCube next Christmas although by that time I may well miss some quality games like Luigi's Mansion or Wave Race.

In fact I just thought about Wave Race again there and it's put doubt in my mind again. I don't believe this...
