I have a dilema...

...me and my brother are planning in investing in Crazy Taxi. Which at no more than £45 isn't too much of a problem. The console however is a problem. I own an Nintendo 64 as you all know. But, as you also know, Crazy Taxi won't be appearing on the Nintendo 64. I am getting a Gamecube, but I'll be damned if I am waiting that long before I own crazy Taxi.

I also want Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast) but don't want to missout on MGS2. If I get a PS2 I will have to wait nearly as long as I will for the Gamecube for MGS2 but Not Crazy Taxi. I do like Dreamcasts and it would only cost me about £55 to get one with Crazy taxi but I do like the idea of being able to play MGS2, GT3, Crazy Taxi and DOA2.

The question is this...

Do I get a DC with Skies of Arcadia and Crazy Taxi?

The pros of this is that I get to play MSR, CT, SOA, DOA2 and all the other DC classics...The cons are that the DC will not have games for it a year from now and I would like it to last longer than that.

The second option is to invest in a Playstation 2 and get Crazy Taxi, GT3 MGS2, etc.

The Pro's of this is that I have an up-to-date, PS2, Some good Games, SSX, CT, MGS2 (Eventually) and GT3 the cons are that it is about £300 for the console and Crazy Taxi.

Of course Crazy Taxi 2 will be out before we know it but only for the DC (Or so I am told). I really dont' know what to do so I am seeking all of your advice.

I would like sensible answers and reasons if you could take some time out to help.

PS2 or DC - CT and MGS2 or CT and CT2 and SOA?

I really am stuck!

Thanks in Advance

Oh yeah good point I forgot it was on the PS2, PS2 is good but expensive I think the DC would be your cheaper option though!

That Grammar is pathetic!

The title is not correct and then the first line should read 'My brother and I'.

Sorry English teacher has drilled it into my head :)
