The Dreamcast!
Sega might be stopping production, but this console really is the one to be playing the top games of today.
Crazy Taxi 2 Sonic ADV 2 etc... I havent seen a Playstation 2 title yet that has Surpassed the Visuals of the DC.
This is someone speaking with years of loyalty to Nintendo too, so I would't call it biased.

Yes. Only one thing though. The lip sync on some of my older DVDs can be a little poor sometimes, but this is easily sorted by pausing for a few seconds and restarting.
This is actually handy if you want a quick break anyway, so I don`t mind. Besides, with DVD of that quality included, I`m not too bothered at all.

Probably sensible by Sony. Nintendo with their "great ideas" made the N64, where as Sony got the PSone. I think most know which was more popular.

That is unfair to say it was Nintendo`s idea. Both had probably been in developement simultaneously. Besides all peripherals follow the same patterns across the consoles.

In your opinion. I personally don`t believe it. I have an N64 with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I also have Zelda. However, I prefer my PS anyday, and now it has become the PS2.
Where are Sony's games????
Try shops. Mail order companies such as this one, and of course, PS2 owning households :-)

SSX Pro, have you anything Bad to say about Playstation or Playstation2?
Well I have.
It seems from most of your comments that your all praise for Sony and its new hatchling.
The PS2 isnt all what it was hyped up to be, you cant ignore that.
Plus Sony wouldn't be where they are today without Nintendo and their excellence in the market, would they?
The Playstation was created as a joint adventure between Nintendo and Sony as a Super Nes add-on, then Nintendo backed out, Sony got cocky and released the machine as a stand alone console which harnassed all the ideas from Nintendo that went into the system from the early Sony/Nintendo alliance.
They released the PS.
Then Nintendo come up with great ideas such as the Rumble Pak, Sony followed suit with their Dual Shock.

Internet is said to be at the end of this year now. With Sega Namce and Sony kicking it off in the arcades for a bit, and then before the end of the year, in the household. I thought the hard drive was with it, but I`ll have to check.

When you convert from the two currencies there isn`t so much difference, especially with the hard drive.

I suppose the PSone probably received that comment from you initially as well.

I really don't see how MS thought that they could sell a MS X-Box for near enough £400/£350 for it to compete with the Nintendo, well-known company, Gamecube at almost half the price, parents see a new mario for Christmas, Only $200 Deal, they'll sell like hot-cakes, parents see a black box the size of a VCR for $350-$400 they laugh and go back to the Nintendo section.
