Don't Playstation know how to advertise, lets put a duck, a man with a hand sticking out of his mouth, a mummy and basically the biggest pile of crap i've ever watched.

In America it was no difference, The playstation 9 demo now i'm starting to think maybe nintendo aren't that bad at advertising.

Secondly the PS3 well done sony you have just caused the possible downfall of the PS2 and now people are thinking maybe the PS9 isn't such a joke.

Thirdly can you please do something origonal. I'll bet the PS3 will have the same controller as always as well as the same games. What i admire in Sega and Nintendo is the way they make a completley new experience each time they bring out a new console largly thanks to knew controll systems which create new and origonal games.

Also the Sega Megadrive 2 was a simple upgrade to the Megadrive while the Playstation 2 seems to be the same thing.

There are two reasons why there won't be a Sidewinder joystick on the PS2.

1). Microsoft are releasing the X-Box. They really don't want to help the competition.

And 2). Microsoft are releasing the X-Box. They really don't want to help the competition.

But you see, it was such a good point, it was worth mentioning twice.

(Series six... or eariler. Can't remember.)

No wonder the Dreamcast never sold if it encouraged you to throw stones at little boys! :-p

Hmmm, an excellent opportunity for you to get yourself a copy of MS Word - with a spell check.
Anyway, I haven't seen any PS2 adverts at all - other than a blue dot and the aforementioned business duck.

I sincerely hope Sega start producing some games for the PS2 soon (or just port the Dreamcast games on to it) because there only seems to be one title causing a positive stir, and that's SSX - not my favourite genre of game.

I can't help but think the PS2 is going the way of the Saturn in terms of 'not good enough games' but it can't fail.

Let's pray that Microsoft have something other than Munch world up their sleeve!

Yeah, the advert was poor, but OH NO!!!

PS2 is NOT an update, it's a new console with new games and the new DVD player. Nuff said.
